Review summary

The HAL service is getting less and less by mouse bites. Very little steps, small changes but less and less. Example. The used to be a steward during breakfast with a large plate of pastries. Good while waiting for your breakfast. Gone. Rudi's Sel du Mer. A fish restaurant, high extra payment. Very little fish. Much more meat. Should be called Surf & Turf. Still the HAL is great but within a few years, it will be a typical USA cash machine, like the others. The picture shows the memories through the years. The last name giving, the Ms. Rotterdam, just a small tile. The name giving party compared to the Ms. Koningsdam: Nothing! Less is more!

The Norwegian harbors are OK for a short trip. The cruise is more important as the harbors.
