I think you are right!

Well here I am.... a long time HA passenger by choice and have NEVER rec'd an offer for a free cabin. I recently remarried after the loss of my DH and this was his first HA cruise. He got an email two weeks ago for a free inside stateroom if he were to book by a certain date. REALLY?? we figured it had to be because money was spent in the jewelry store. (that's a whole different post) Anyway, I called my travel agent and she informed me that she would not make any money by doing this booking for us. OK, sorry.

Yes! If you need a small night light, bring a small tea candle that has a battery. NO real candles!

Dress code for evening on Nieuw Amsterdam
hal lover replied to rabbit72's topic in Holland America Line
So true! A disappointment that HAL has gone to allowing some of what you see now. My recent cruise there was a man who thought the robe was fine to wear whenever and wherever he wished. Some in bathing suits in the Lido (no cover at all). One came to the dance lessons in a swimsuit. I try to live and let live but really? HAL used to be a step above but now allows anything to fill a stateroom. The class of the HAL has truly changed and not for the better. -

MS Rotterdam Caribbean cruise
hal lover replied to cruising oceangal's topic in Holland America Line
I SO agree with you! Live dangerously! Must everything be planned? JMHO. -
Yes Sparks, I noticed that as well. They have a lot of work to do but cleaning should not be shotty at best.

Dear husband and I disembarked the Rotterdam on Wednesday. He had been sick a few days and we figured it was his COPD acting up and that I was fine. Well.... driving home from FL to NC we had to go to the emergency room. A day later, still on our way home, he gets the call that he has tested positive. Oh NO! Next day I get a sore throat and cough. Have tested positive myself this morning! I am not writing this to say that it is or was anyone thing on the Rotterdam that brought it on but I want my fellow HAL lovers to know that Covid is STILL very much alive and I hope that you all will consider wearing your masks! The trip itself was good except for in room dining. I won't go into that issue except to say that you should look at your order before you tip the room service person. Three times they got away with very bad food. (our fault for not checking). Also, the smell of cigarette smoke was so apparent in the lido, not to mention the casino area. I was shopping in one of the stores and it was so strong! HAL needs to restrict the indoor smoking. Rotterdam is a beautiful ship! The best yet, in my opinion.

My DH uses a CPAP machine. How does this work on HA? They are allowed, right? Thanks!
