We have cruised a lot: a bunch on Celebrity, a dozen or so with Princess and Royal, 20+ on HAL and one Norwegian, the Dream (aka the nightmare).
In September 2022 we cruised on HAL Nieuw Statendam from Quebec to Boston and back and enjoyed the ship so much we booked 8 B2Bs over Christmas and New Year. We love this ship but the entertainment ie., theatre was mediocre on a good day. The "music walk" however was great from jazz to classical to the Rolling Stones. From reading the latest comments, the music is not as varied as it was a year ago. No one has better itineraries than HAL. The food is great, the service is wonderful but don't book because of the entertainment on board. The quality just varies too much.
