Hi Sue,
The main problem with HAL, the times we sailed on them - they didn't
really have much in the way of shipboard activities. It was, we are a
ship, find your own entertainment type of thing. I also wasn't really
impressed with their service.
Now, at the time we sailed on HAL Carnival Corp was in the process of
buying the line. So, it might have been a combination of things that
made Kristi and I not impressed with them.
The last few cruises we have been on have been on RCI and they have
been really good. We would like to see Glacier Bay when we go to
Alaska again, and RCI doesn't do Glacier Bay.
The recent reviews of NCL have not been very ... good. I am not sure I
want to deal with the open seating at dinner. Also, after the GGC a
few years back where nobody was really happy with NCL, I am not really
sure I want to go back on NCL.
Princess was okay when were were on the LCGC, but not anything to write
home about.
I guess I have been on two many cruises that nothing is really
impressing me anymore. I like the cruises, I just want something to
really impress me like the first cruise did years ago!
