Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted June 15, 2020 Author #579 Share Posted June 15, 2020 We really loved our breakfasts at the Pinnacle Grill , in fact it was one of the major reasons that we booked Neptune Suites . It's quite ambiance and elegant decor reminds us of how good cruising can be . Service has always been very good to excellent and it has a variety of seating options small , medium and large .

We like 3 cruise lines the best which are Princess , HAL and Celebrity . Among each line there are a couple of ships that stand out for us . The itinerary is usually the main factor with cabin choice being a close second for us . Our favorite cruise was on our least favorite HAL ship (The Zaandam ) . The reason that we picked that ship over the Coral was a 22 day cruise instead of the 16 day one on the Coral . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbinMich Posted June 19, 2020 #589 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Our last cruise was an EB TA on the Zuiderman back in April 2017, before my DH's health started to decline that Sept. I loved the ship and the slots were particularly kind to me <g>. Loved the Explorations fwd on Deck 10 with wraparound windows and the Promenade Deck. One cool experience we had as our first cruise as Elite was a cocktail party on the usually inaccessible outside fwd on Deck 3. It's in front of the theater, I think. We were sailing down the river from Amsterdam, weather was wonderful, and the champagne flowed <g>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
