Review Summary
Nice cruise in spite of the drawbacksShip Experiences
Food and Dining
The food was great. We enjoyed the seafoodand the lamb dishes. The variety was fun.
Entertainment
All entertainment was top-notch!!! We especially liked the Amsterdam Singers and Dancers!!
Service and Staff
The staff was willing when they understood what we wanted. Their command of English wasn't as good as on previous HAL cruises. No assistance with trays in the Lido dining room.
Ship Quality
The ship was good, decor was fine and public areas great except for the dirty windows. The Hubbard Glacier would have looked better through clean windows in the Crows Nest!!!!
Cabin / Stateroom
The oceanview room had dirty porthole windows. The room was so small we didn't have a table and had to ask for a chair. It was clean and the room attendant was great..kept our ice bucket full always.
Ports of Call
Weather was great...sunny and in the 80's.

Pros: The entertainers...especially the Amsterdam singers and dancers
