ichmael Posted September 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Ok, I'm having a bit of fun with the post title which is very similar to another currently active thread -- but the title is true: HAL was my first cruise, my last cruise, and will be my next cruise with the Nov 6th sailing of the Rotterdam. I always have a great time on a HAL cruise and HAL is definitely my preferred cruise line. I'm counting the days until we set sail, until my next two-for-one happy hour, until my next stroll around the promenade deck, until my next blissed-out relaxed sea day.

jschm27 Posted September 17, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2011 By the number of posts you've made, it appears that you are new to CC. But based on what you say, it sounds like you've been here before. That being said, Welcome to CC! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted September 17, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2011 WOW, 11 years as a member before your first post! How could you not want to say something or ask something in all that time? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichmael Posted September 17, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thank you for the welcome John. Although perhaps I should be welcoming you as you've only been a member since 2008 :) In any event, to swing back to positive HAL nuggets: For my fellow Gibson drinkers -- many cruise lines don't bother stock cocktail onions, but this is never an issue on HAL!

malibu2 Posted September 17, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Our favorite line also, been on another but Hal is our cruise of choice. I am a CC'er from long ago but I am a gleaner. I just go thru the threads and get most of my answers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 17, 2011 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Welcome to finally posting on Cruise Critic. You really should talk about your cruises and the various ships you have sailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramcruiser Posted September 17, 2011 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Sometimes we get bogged down on complaining on these threads. Time to have some fun and enjoy the world of cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninkb Posted September 17, 2011 #9 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We've loved every HAL cruise we've taken and are always sorry to leave the ship. Not so with another cruise line . . . couldn't wait to get off and have said never again to them. It's so reassuring that we can continue to book with HAL and be assured of the quality we've had in the past. I'd be on one of their ships EVERYDAY if I lived in my dream world. Thanks to everyone on staff at HAL for making the cruise so enjoyable. And thanks, Ichmael for starting this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCH Posted September 17, 2011 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2011 To Ishmael, I posted once a long time ago on CC. I made a suggestion that I intended to be in jest, but was taken seriously and was flamed. I've since been careful, posting and responding to posts. Now, 95% of my time on cc is reading all the fine questions and answers. I've found HAL three cruises ago and go on my fourth Oct 4th. I love HAL and will be a HAL cheerleader face to face.
