@cbr663, thank you for your comments and observations.
I debated whether to write a review after my September Alaska sailing on HAL, but didn't for fear of being skewered by those for whom HAL can do no wrong. I'm in my 70s, but find myself aging out of HAL due to lack of onboard activities (adult coloring and knitting basics, really?) and overall lackluster entertainment. I've never been on a cruise with so many passengers using mobility devices, to the extent that they created problems in public areas. While I'm upright and able, I'd prefer to sail with a more active and energetic passenger contingent. I may have been born in the 1950s, but I don't limit my entertainment choices to music, plays, and performers from that era. When I see posts on this board looking for swing bands instead of rock bands, I know I'm on the wrong line.
