Koningsdam Mexican Riviera Cruises in December

[mcrcruiser]

Wow we did not think that the ship would have many children but how wrong we could be , On our 2 cruises there had to be close to 500 children on each cruise .not that they were unruly but ,not a common  occurance on a HAL ship 

 

 What was some what bothersome for many was the long back up lines for the main fining room for  breakfast & dinners  .We had any time dining ,so no problem getting seated . One night we waited 2 hours to finish dinner & that is even asking for help  .We noticed 2 higher up officers watching the movements on the dining room .There were obvious problems

 

 We learned that on our next Koningsdam  cruise ..it is Hawaii 18 nights we upgraded to Club Orange 😄to miss the main dining room   problems should they reoccur 

 

 Our B2B cruises were wonderful as always with HAL ,We enjoyed music walk a lot ,went onlt twice to the main theatre  on 12 days at sea . Once was the history of HSAL which was very interesting & very well done & the other we watched the Mareachi players , singers  & dancers .All very well done 

 

 Our Dun Slot Pull was a success in that we all more than doubled our money😁

Same issues with overcrowding and lots of kids on November 18 Mexico out of San Diego.  One evening it took 45 minutes to get into the dining room for dinner…after that I lined up half hour before opening to get in.  Afternoons on sea days both pools were packed with kids.  Evening movies by the pool were disrupted by kids and noise from the pool.  
Note to self:  check school calendar and don’t book during school breaks.

That is what I said to check the calendar & never again book during school breaks .

 

 We both had the experience once & that is enough  😁
