Great ship, great cruise, excellent service on board, wonderful spa, great main dining & specialty restaurants. Will be on HAL & Grand Statendam again.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Great. Very thorough on documentation review, but efficient
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Main dining - good & well prepared/presented; ate at specialty restaurants: Canaletto (great Oso Bucco); Pinnacle (great); Tamarin (variable - so/so first night, excellent second - still one of best at sea); Dutch cafe was great & best beers on board/desserts and pea soup/ham/cheese sandwiches
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Took stretch classes (were kind of sporadically given); signed up for thermolasso spa which was worth $309 for two; used gym rowing machine every day; played pickleball with 12 others but only had one net (other one was broken & we complained but to no avail). Glad they have pickleball in the basketball/sports court.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Stage shows for dancing (One Step) were exceptional and group singers were very good. BB King All Stars were usual great. Rock & Roll group was rockin.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All staff were great - room stewards, dining room, specialty restaurants, bars, spa, gym were all very professional and efficient. That's why we sail HAL consistently.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Excellent as usual. Ships design is our favorite. Lounge area above main deck pool is the best for free of any cruise line.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
4101 was located in a great location on the ship (central), but tender boat hosting arms blocked most of the view.
Aruba is another favorite. It was Sunday so many things weren’t open.
Still good shopping & both casinos paid well.
Get free $15 coupons when getting off ship. Easy to redeem.
