This cruise has several cons.

Too many days at sea ( 12 ) which would be ok except the ship had a very poor entertainment program. The evening shows on the first leg were poor quality, better on the return leg, but still not great. The daytime presentations were uninteresting to most, spotty in number, - who wants to do towel folding, teeth whitening, sarong tying? The days at sea were boring, other than Trivial pursuit. The return leg offered Test Kitchen, a big hit, as there was little else during the day. They need to organize some decent lectures - not just try to sell us on other HA cruises! and jewelry, spa packages!

Warning, this cruise has a great many elderly passengers, many in wheelchairs, walkers, and patience is a must. Its tough to be seated at dinner with a table of people in their 80's and 90's - many of whom cannot hear, and are not converse. Just a heads up.
