HAL is one of the best. We have cruised on them several times; my parents took their cruise around the world for 120 days upon my father's retirement in 1996 and did the roundtrip Hawaii cruise for 14 days from San Diego CA to the islands 3-4 times per year. We did the HAL Caribbean cruise in 2019 for 14 days out of Ft. Lauderdale. It was two 7 day roundtrips but the only spot we were to hit twice was their private Cay. Loved it. The clientele are older than Carnival. The food is outstanding. Their dining room food is equivalent to the finer dining restaurants on Carnival and Celebrity. The two restaurants we ate at were exceptional: one steak and the other Oriental (served Japanese, Dim Sum, Cantonese and more). Norweigan Cruiselines has a great deal on now with free everything including free airfare for the second person traveling. HAL is offering discounts and free dining, excursions, etc. We miss cruising and can't wait to return.
