I don't think HAL was prepared for a sold out ship, we also heard that some of the crew was transferred from the Eurodam. We sailed on the Caribbean Princess in November and again in December, both times the ship was at 50% capacity and both cruises were great with outstanding service. BTW I couldn't open up your review. Hi, MISTER 67, When I click on my review, I get a small popup in the upper left corner of my desktop saying "Downloading" then "open file".

I took a reasonable upsell for one in November. I took a pass on one in March. There is very little difference in the balcony and vistas. We felt ripped off by our “upgrade” to a vista suite. As a quad it was barely functional. I think the stubby wall between the couch and the bed is the only difference from the regular veranda. The shower was nice though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a way bigger balcony in my balcony room too! Live and learn I guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeh10641 Posted April 10, 2022 #55 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Well, that is it. I am out of suggestions. However, I did post the review on Cruise Critic under the ship review section. It was around review number 10, JEH10641. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a vista suite for FOUR of us. Two adults, two teenage boys. I felt like I was in a submarine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say it was tight is an understatement! On day 2 I told the room stewards not to pull out the sofa bed. I just did it when everyone was going to bed and after everyone had used the bathroom! You take you life (and shins) in your own hands trying to navigate to the bathroom with the sofa bed out. Then the drop down bed made the queen bed very claustrophobic - I could not sleep underneath it so I slept in one direction and my husband the other. We were like the grandparents on Willy Wonka. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Roz Posted April 11, 2022 Author #60 Share Posted April 11, 2022 @kentuckycruiser, the cabins on these new ships are definitely not made for 3rd and 4th passengers. At least you had a sense of humor about it. How was your cruise otherwise? Welcome back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
