Review summary

VERY, VERY WINDY in the Caribbean this Year due to GLOBAL WARMING...many many people seasick and 1/2 passengers ended up with major head colds.  HAL Excursions were a HUGE Disappointment, double price of Independents at the ports, besides the tour guide(s)..(Cartagena) Unable to be Understood due to heavy accent!  Thus when Independent Tour Guides used MUCH BETTER RESULTS and Very Interesting Sights & History NOT Offered on HAL Tours!   High Class Pinnacle Restaurant on the Zuiderdam Big Disappointment for last night's Family Meal.  Sports Deck Equipment very used and worn out..shuffleboard court unplayable due to abrasive deck, ship's staff not helpful in remedy of sports...Entertainment selections @ 50% ..1/2 good, other 1/2 below average.
