We were on the Koningsdam Dec 5-16 and December 21-January 6, 2024. As I reflect more I think my enjoyment was mainly because of fellow passengers. Our stewards were outstanding as well as bar service in the casino, but the bar we frequented for happy hour, unhappy employees. We did not have the drink package and were regulars there. Plus, we tipped a few bucks on almost every bar slip. It didn't make a difference. All the employees are very hard workers but I am not sure this ship is the best representation of HAL. I can not comment on the MDR as we had the majority of our meals in the Pinnacle where management and crew was outstanding. I am curious to hear the Princess passenger comments. We have cruised on Princess but it has been a while. I am guessing it has to do with lack of activities. And, don't get me started on Adult coloring, LOL.
