dmcfad2 - I agree with you. In spite of many changes, I still love HAL.
I have been on other cruise lines and I think HAL has the best crew.
My stepfather and I were on Niew Statendam in August for 24 days.
Only problem was at cruise terminal on embarkation day. That may
have been Port Authority's fault. Once we got on board, everything
was great. We loved the food and service and itinerary. We look
forward to sailing with HAL again. I'm glad you had a great cruise.
