Review summary

The entertainment staff was excellent.  I enjoyed the games and contests.

Food was too salty and garlicky for my tastes causing swollen ankles and bloating.

This was the last Westerdam cruise before drydocking, and the repairs started several days before the cruise was over.  Certain areas became unavailable and chairs were pulled in two days before the cruise ended.

The entire staff of servers and cabin attendants was wonderful, as were the front desk employees.

The itinerary was lovely and the two excursions I took through HAL were fine.

Don't like HAL bathtubs. They are difficult for short, elderly people to navigate. Many shelves and racks were too high for me to use comfortably, but that's because of my height.

I wish that they wouldn't over salt food on cruise ships or in restaurants.
