Some nice touches on HAL that we haven't seen on most cruises:

- when boarding ship after port, had cool towels, water/lemonade, nice sitting area with flowers   (Celebrity has similar with no flowers) Celebrity does have the nice OJ and sparkling upon  first embarkation though

- chocolates in your room every  night  (Princess also has but  most have cut back)

- towel animals every night in your room

- bottomless fruit bowl in your room.Beds were very good with nice pillows

- robes were in room to use for cruise or $55 to purchase with monogram

-free HAL bag in each room like Princess and Celebrity

- beach towels in each room to use

- like the newer ships, a flat panel, very impressive TV,  lots of movies, and other shows, food menus etc.
