@The-Inside-Cabin we did Kariega on the 23 World Cruise. It was magnificent ! Thanks for bringing back such wonderful memories 🦒🐘🦓🦏

@The-Inside-Cabin thanks Pete for your excellent reporting of Gus’s Q&A.

Wishing you all the best in your recovery Diane. Hope to meet you & John on the 25 World Cruise ❤️

@Scrapnana so glad to hear you are going to be cruising again. God bless you ❤️🙏🏼

Sad we won’t be joining you on the 24’ WC but looking forward to coming along virtually. Interested to see how it differs from our WC 23’ experience. Happy Cruising Pete and Judy 🥳

@kazu Thank you for the update on Scrapnana 🫶🏻

Just wondering how Scrapnana is doing ? Haven’t heard anything from her since January? Hope she is doing well and back to cruising 🙏🏼🚢

I’m booked too from NY … can’t wait 😊

Thanks for your compliment. We are traveling in an oceanview room so we will not get to experience the Grill amenities. Just glad and thankful to be able to go on this voyage.

I appreciate your perspective 🥰

Glad to hear this, we will be on her in February. Anything in particular a must see or a must do ?

@ceilidh1 Is the menu that you show from the Britannia Restaurant ?

@NE John I am looking forward to my first TA one the QM2😊

@NE John The crew was fabulous ! I am a 4 star Mariner so I have a lot of HAL experience. Food was mediocre at best. Lots of repetition. Portions very very small. The main stage was dark once a week. 2-3 times a week they played B rate movies no one had ever heard of. They had a man showing you his yo-yo skills as a main show. HAL Singers and dancers had 15 shows for a 128 day cruise. No port talks except for the Cruise Director telling you of a few HAL sponsored places. No lecturers speaking to any of the places we were to experience. Virtually nothing to do during the day except Arts & Crafts on sea days that were only available to the first 200 people to sign up. And, this was set up as 2 groups so was was really every other sea day. No special set up in dining room for theme nights. (The excuse was that all the decorations were left on the Amsterdam when sold & there was no place to store them on the Zuiderdam) There was nothing GRAND about this Grand World Voyage.

Doing the 25’ World Cruise on the Queen Anne and then the QM2 transatlantic back to NY. Was very disappointed in the HAL 23’ World Cruise.
