NOVEMBER
PROS
Wonderful service staff is great even though staffing reductions are evident. They still treat us like welcome guests in their home. Embarkation and disembarkation were very efficient and speedy.CONS
Reduced service staff in all areas. No live music at cocktail hour, no hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, turndown is optional, numerous uncharges in the Main Dining Room and even alternative dining venues. Overall decor is not typical HAL. The MDR is poorly done, curved sections look like a fish ribcage, the light fixtures look like a poor Chihuly takeoff. Bronze medallion recipients no longer invited to Medallion presentation gathering.RECOMMENDED
YesThis was our tenth sailing with HAL and third on a Rotterdam (current & 2 on VR-O). It was very noticeable that HAL has made numerous cutbacks while adding surcharges in all dining venues. There was no Lincoln Center ever presented even though in its listed as a venue. Before we ever boarded the ship, we had three port changes due to "operational" issues. We would not have booked the cruise with the revised ports. While on board, we had another port change that was out of the control of HAL but dictated by Panama due to demonstrations in Colon. Safety was HAL's priority!!! HAL's Mariner program has two sections, stars that you get by spending more and moves you up the star level. The there is a Medallion program that is dedicated to ACTUAL sailing days not money spent. HAL decided that Bronze medallion recipients were no long worthy to be invited to the Medallion presentation. The bronze medallions are now delivered to your room, put on your bed or handed to you by your room steward. What a slap in the face. Medallions were returned to guest services since they don't mean anything. Our stateroom had lots of storage and comfortable. Great shower.
