Hi,
Friends of ours' just did Alaska on HAL this June, and while they loved the
itinerary they said the ship was a little shabby in some areas. They said
that most of their fellow passengers were of their same age group (around
60'ish). Not many families with teenagers, but there were a few. They also
said that unless HAL offered them pricing that they couldn't refuse, they'd
likely try another cruise line for their next cruise.
