I personally love the Pinnacle class...all shiny and new. Dutch Cafe and all that. But, our favorite cruises were on the transatlantic in the past. Many more activities and special treatment overall. The Captains ball on the Maasdam is a fond memory. Endless lobster and shrimp and crab legs set up as a tree in the main dining room as a treat. People talk about cutbacks on this forum, and of course there are, but we've had alot of fun and continue to do so on HAL.
