I like to tip everyone, but this was a tough one, since everyone in there seemed to wait on us at some point. What I did was ask the manager for a complete list of all the employees in there and gave them all special recognition in the end, on the survey. There was never going to be enough money in my pocket to do them justice, so that's how I handled it.

Tenerife is a big place. Generally you can avoid these things; we did in Barcelona.

Happiness shall surely follow you. Bon voyage! What a fun itinerary!

The food is good. One time I had the vegetarian Indonesian selection and it was awesome. We don't always go, but I generally don't like to miss it.

Such a nice trip! The Canary Islands are interesting, and very different from most destinations. We learned alot while visiting them......hoping you have a fabulous cruise!

Haha! Great fun if it was a mix!!!

No matter what; drinking alot and playing bingo is always fun! Fun crowd, I am sure

I always thought it was strange that they leave key cards outside your stateroom door. First of all, that is your key card for drinks and other very important things that matter. Casino isn't open but you could charge a boatload of drinks on that card. Never mind, just thinking of mischief and mayhem.

Once, someone from the President's club asked us to join them for an event. The wine was flowing. Not much more needs to be said, lol!

On the positive side, I think the shorter wait time at the bars is a real plus.

I've seen plenty of people wear running shoes in the dining room on HAL. I think it has something to do with balance when the ship is rolling. Just my opinion. I don't think anyone on this good earth thinks that running shoes are that attractive, so I doubt it's a rebellion against fashion rules.

It's really very hard for me to imagine a nasty experience on K and Statendam. Sorry, but that seems like a bit of a stretch. It's nice you like the smaller ships, but the Pinnacle ships have their strong points, as well.

Enjoying this review. Thank you.!

I really love sea days and I generally wander around aimlessly. That's a fun thing for me. I never get bored as long as I have enough reading material. The cooking shows in the past were wonderful, but that's the past.

Don't worry. You still have a nice stateroom, after all.
