We love HAL and feel that the entertainment is excellent but highly repetitive. We have gone on 5 HAL cruises and seen the exact same Step One Dancer acts every single voyage. We will try another cruise line.
Rotterdam Cruise Review to Caribbean - Southern
Review summary
We have taken our last 5 cruises with HAL, but the same dance troupe with exact performances and the lack of the string quartet at the Lincoln Center makes us want to go back to Royal Caribbean for next year. The comedian Cisco Duran was not very good in our opinion. The comedian Tom McTigue was good.Embarkation
