HAL pulling away at 4 pm. We should be the last one out of 8 ships to leave after 5 pm

 

 

Am I the only one who thinks that looks like a container/cargo ship instead of a cruise ship???

From lifeboats up it looks like a cruise ship, but they could have came up with a better color paint to paint the hull.

Don't all HAL ships have a black hull?

We were on one HAL cruise before a awhile ago, but don't remember the hull being that dark.

Found a good blogger on Youtube that is on the World Cruise.

 

You will want to follow these people, they are making very good video's on what they are doing on each port.  They know how to enjoy each port for sure. I for one will be following them.

You should find this really confusing then. I found this cruise line on instagram the other day. It’s a freighter and a cruise ship.

Read a review of this cruise in the travel section of our weekend papers, just recently.  Added it my list of “one day” travels.

Ours was Eurodam, but was a long time ago. Have not seen a HAL ship since.

Pre-Covid our hull was dark blue

I am beginning to hate watching the Buffalo Bills games with my wife , after following the Bills her entire life she is very pessimistic and sure they will lose , luckily she was wrong tonight, I am always a optimist thinking my Yankees will win the World Series every year, we’ll at least I have won more than a dozen in my lifetime 😁

She seems like some of my old school NY Ranger fan buddies.  They expect the team to go undefeated the whole season & as soon as they lose a game, they act like the season is over & the team should be traded away.  Or any come from behind victory is because they got lucky but the season is over.   You get the idea.  Not only is the glass empty but the bottom is cracked so it'll never ever get to half full.

Have you heard of a baseball team on the west coast called LA?

Our only cruise on HA was eurodam when brand new.  Took a 3 nighter to nowhere.  We call them battleships.  Although, from reading recent reviews the interiors of the newer ships look much nicer 

actually considering HA to Alaska

The good doctor owes me an apology!!!!  I was not sure of my memory, and I had to visit the HAL forum to validate my own lying eyes.  According to the resident scholars in that forum, one JHannah and a RevNeal, I am now 100% that it is indeed a deep navy blue that looks black on the water with a white superstructure.  

 

I still have scars from that forum!🤣😇

O and by the way it was the Rotterdam VI.  I think there may be a Rotterdam VII now.  The VI was launched in 1997.
