Review summary

Great itinerary I newly refurbished Westerdam from Civitavecchia to Venice via Malta, Corfu, and the Dalmatian coast including Kotor, Dubrovnik, Korcula, Split, and Koper. All beautiful, Korcula a favorite destination and Kotor an unforgettable arrival and departure experience. Service outstanding, food exceptionally good on the Westerdam. Personally not thrilled with the recent refurbishment of the Crow’s Nest, where an acceptably serious library is sacrificed for a rather slick but less reliable, excessively visual and rather superficial online exploration experience. I wish HAL would retreat from this initiative but others may like it for a while until they realize how inferior it is to a library with books.

Thanks for the review. We’re concerned about the changes to the Crows Nest as well. I think they’ve made these changes on a lot of ships. We’ll see how it turned out on the Koningsdam in Feb. I don’t think we’ll like it either. 😟but I’m sure all the things we love about HAL will outweigh the Crows Nest/library changes. 🍸

I won't cruise on a ship with no library. I was on a 49 day cruise on the Veendam. After a few weeks the choices at the library were quite limited. I do have a kindle and suggested that they offer e-book rentals similar to what my library offers .
