Oh my gosh yes I am missing cruising. I had my first transatlantic cruise planned for October out of Southampton but it was cancelled. The first part of my trip was going to be visiting my parents in Beverly, East Yorkshire but it's all had to be cancelled sadly. So, I've re-scheduled to do a transatlantic next year on HAL's newest ship Rotterdam out of Amsterdam. Hopefully, cruising resumes! I will visit my parents and then take a ferry on DFDS King Seaways to Amsterdam and then get on the Rotterdam, super stoked!

I enjoyed reading your review. I'm hoping to sail on the Escape in October for a transatlantic voyage.

I am in my early 40's and I love HAL because their ships do not have a party crowd and provide the relaxing atmosphere that I seek. I have gone on 5 HAL cruises (Westerdam, Nieuw Amsterdam and Nieuw Statendam) and my experience has always been consistently good. These are some of my favourite things:- Room service breakfast!

Its pan asian fusion and my fav
