Review summary
Great ship, great cruise. St.Petersburg, Talinn and Helsinki were skipped due to Russian/Ukraine war. German ports not value adding. Great crew !Embarkation
Quick and easy in Amsterdam. Only 1100 guests on this sailing, so plenty of space and attention on this cruise from HAL employees....
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Specialty restaurants serve wunderfull food ! Canaletto and Pinnacle great as always ! Lido restaurant buffet has enough choice.
Onboard Activities
Lot's to do if you didn't go ashore or on a sea day. Daily program on the navigator app and on paper delivered to your room...
Entertainment
BB Kings blues club and the Rock and Roll stage were our favourites. Great performance from both bands ! Every evening was a party.
Service and Staff
Great staff ! Joy & Nanang deserve special attention, wunderfull and superfriendly waiters in the Lido restaurant ! Also the crew at the New York Pizza are great and make the experience complete !
Ship Quality
Brand new ship, well cleaned and beautifall art in the gangways.
Cabin / Stateroom
Clean cabin, unrestricted view, nice balcony with 2 relax chairs and small table, heating/cooling control in room, refrigerator, small safe, enough closet space for clothing, suitcases will fit under bed. Perfect !
Ports of call
Visby is a small surprise ! Easy to walk to the old town from port, only 1 km. Pretty little old town, beautiful small streets, almost no cars. A walking tour on your own is easy to do, the old city walls make it cozy. Lots of small shops, shops open after 10am...nice botanic garden, some old churches and some churches not in a visitable condition. Only coffee restaurant we could find was closeby the port. We enjoyed Visby !

If you need bag assistence you have to wait for your call, if you don't need assistance and you can handle your bags yourself you can go off ship anytime you like. Easy embarkation process.
