Like many other posters on here, I wanted to add my thanks for your really interesting and straightforward posts, VMax. I always look forward to reading your updates.
Me, my husband and my son are excited to be embarking in Rotterdam on 5 May.
HAL is very much our preferred line (5 Star mariners) and we are trying desperately to stick with them through what we feel (hope?!) is a transitional period of entertainment and guest experience. Lincoln Centre was a real loss for us, but we remain hopeful this will be replaced with some other classical music onboard. Have you enjoyed the evening shows? Step One was of a very high standard but for us, some updates were (over)due to keep things fresh.
It was a real shame to read that the embarkation was a bit clunky. We are flying to Schipol on Saturday afternoon and then catching the HAL transfer to Rotterdam on Sunday morning. Here's hoping things go more smoothly this time around.
Thanks also for the umbrella tip - now packed!
Enjoy your last days onboard, and safe travel home.
