Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to our upcoming cruise on NS. It will be our first on a Pinnacle class ship so I enjoy reading about others' experiences.

How long were you in port? It seems like you had a very full day!

So now the food isn't just bad, it's evil!😁 I know my husband is looking forward this steak on our upcoming cruise. Thanks for tips on how to order it.

I have read about them on other cruise lines but haven't heard much about them on HAL ships.

Thanks again for sharing your visit to the Falkland Islands. I really enjoyed it!

What a fun way to spend time with your friends! I hope you have a great time!

Looks like he's off on some very important penguin business!

It is sad to see. I get that most lines are having to deal with these types of issues but it's hard to watch something change from what you've enjoyed in the past.

Cutbacks continue on other lines also. https://www.wsj.com/articles/this-cruise-line-cant-turn-you-down-5672d9c9?st=8lftwmq9lfob4ai&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

Great information, thank you!

Yes it was nice. My husband and I could go out and ejoy the balcony while lazy boy was still sleeping

Our favorite type of cabin! Our grandson joined us a few years back on a cruise and this cabin worked well for us. here's a photo of the bed made up for the evening. There was still plenty of room to walk past it in the night.

People saying that midnight is late enough for them is not the same as people wanting the ship to be a monastery. I think that judgement goes both ways perhaps?

Thanks for taking the time to do a review, I appreciate it. I'm glad you found most things enjoyable!

There are several "Live" threads where they show a paper copy.

And the bus will probably take about 45 mins so depending on the tour time it might not be an option for that boat tour.

That's all true of course but they do offer shuttle almost everywhere else in these situations. The problem will be lack of buses to charter in that area. What I hope happens is that HAL arranges for all of the ship excursions to begin at Somaneset. They already had the vehicles booked so I wouldn't think it would be that hard to change the pick up spot. Those with private excursions could also arrange with their tour providers for a Somaneset pick up (probably higher cost). Then it's a matter of finding shuttle arrangements for those not on any type of excursions. Not easy if there are other ships in Stavanger that day. Not a great situation for sure.

I would be surprised if there wasn't a shuttle set up to take passengers into Stavanger.

Thanks so much for sharing this. We were to visit here and had the helicopter booked but unfortunately we weren't able to go. It's still on the list though!

Not sure how it works for by the bag but with the unlimited laundry we used separate bags for light and dark items.

Those sailing in Europe have been at $30 for quite some time. Years maybe? Price is per cabin

I hope you have a wonderful time!

It is fun to find a cute place for lunch while in port and it's much easier on the budget than doing dinners out!

Yes, when I enlarge the photo I see that, but there's no need to be rude.

I believe the upcharge items for dinner are the same in CO as in the MDR.
