30 day Hawaii & Tahiti Cruise----Feb. 14, 2014, 16 sea days and 14 port days.
Although we are four star mariners on HAL it has been almost three years since we cruised with them. The following is a summary of the ship and my cruise experience, beginning with the positive followed by concerns.
Generally speaking—I find no significant degeneration in HAL's service or facilities. This was a very good cruise and I highly recommend it. Excellent weather and relatively calm seas all the way except Moorea, the port we had to miss due high winds.
We had a normal balcony stateroom located on deck 9 slightly forward of midship. Enjoyed it although would like a larger bathroom without the tub, but only a shower. Also there is very little space for items in the bathroom, or in the cabin itself, if one is on a month long voyage. The cabin crew did a great job in keeping the cabin clean. Great balcony, larger than most.
