I have cruised 33 times. This holiday cruise on Westerdam was my first on HAL. I enjoyed the cruise, but I found nothing compelling about a return to HAL except the internet was the best ever. Having the Navigator App was also a plus. The entertainment was the worst except for the band in Rolling Stone. The problem there is on 2 nights you will hear all their material that doesn't even include Rolling Stone songs. The Lido was chaotic and food below average. Hamburgers at the Dive In were poor. Fortunately the only bad meal in the dining room was the Lasagna. Excursions also did not meet expectations. For as many sea days as we encountered there should have been duplicate bridge with a bridge director.
