We are cruising with HAL for almost 10 years. And this is the first time we feel obliged to express some critique. We are in our 70s and we do expect that HAL will provide quality time for people like us . This time too many elements of good cruise were missing.

First, the usual entertainment at night, at the main stage, was extremely poor. The three shows with dancers were at high school show level. Dancers were overweight and could not jump or turn. We saw same shows last year on Rotterdam and it was a pleasure to watch. Somebody has to address entertainment on this ship.

Food : overall good quality, but many dishes were over salted. Do not know why it was done, but same was for lunch and for dinner venues. Late evening food not available, closing Lido too early. Could keep open pizza place at least.
