HAL``Best Overall Cruise Value'' 2006

[mariner]

I'm surprised no one has posted the World Ocean & Cruise ranking sooner.

While I'll quibble with the methodology (it should say most WOCS members sail HAL ergo), the reaons cited are interesting.

The crew, the ships, the $OE and dinner menus were cited, along with the extras _ hot hor d's, ice cream, chilled beer glasses and later lunch hours in port.

Carnival was second.

Princess was 10th.

Thanks, Mariner: I'd like to read the report. Is there a link you can post?

Thank you for posting the report.

It's interesting thaty some of the areas you mentioned as some of the common areas that as lot of posters criticize.

We just got off the Volendam (Dec 13) and saw no flowers that looked like artificial flowers. Ruth and I did have better things to do with our time than go around and inspect and touch every flower leaf on the ship......
