I do think there is some “middle music” that most can agree on and those who don’t like it can use another pool. However, a huge screen with a drop of water is insane! Can you imagine all the photos, videos and things of the current cruise, future cruises…..Lord the photography I see from cruises is amazing and I wonder if most of the people who take pics wouldn’t love to share? If not, advertise for shore excursions. Something. I have stared at that water drop and thought how stupid I am for looking at it!

Well sometimes when people are on the downhill slide leaving a job, they don’t give a darn. 😞

We wanted to watch a movie @ the Lido on a different ship and couldn’t understand it at all so we quit trying. Maybe it is just our old ears. I wonder who/why the cruise director is. Activities should be well planned or that person should answer for it. Anyone would have to know that chocolate is a draw! Janet

So appreciate all the information. I feel we have gotten to know you. I am looking forward to next year for many reasons: you, all your suggestions, a beautiful trip. The absolute never a doubt thing we can always say is HAL has the best service and room stewards anywhere. We have had issues at times, but never saw our stewards that they weren’t smiling or pulling a joke on us! Safe travels, look forward to the updates. Janet

😖

I don’t understand, it was for you because you don’t like chocolate? I am hoping they fix some of these things before next year. Especially trivia; it is our favorite thing we do. Janet

@BermudaBound2014 I love your reports and I have to say that latest is the most negative. I do understand you still are happy enough to do it again. It never hurts to point out areas of improvement. I wish I would get tired of eating—anytime anywhere! I still can’t wait for our turn on that trip. Thanks for the information, enjoy deck 10. Janet

@BermudaBound2014 you just don’t know how much a little thing like helping that woman means; not only to her but to the people who love her. I haven’t gotten to the “frustrate/confused old lady” yet, but my mother who loves to be out among people has. Her children cherish that there are people who take a minute to ensure she is ok. Bless you.

that is what I heard from somewhere that you could get the gelato shakes included if you ordered at the Dive In or something really convoluted like that.

Actually true. I love my morning latte and after dinner specialty coffee. It does give you freedom to get what you want.

I'm a'thinkin' that 15 drinks is too many most days--19 might really give folks a view of Janet's World that won't be pretty!!!! 😃

If you have HIA what is the advantage of the $25 for drinks? anxious to hear

@BermudaBound2014 we are the demo for HAL’s age and DH LOVES Time Conway 🙃 (it wasn’t Mary Tyler Moore, it was Carol Burnette. Yep, we’re old). I wonder in Fakarava, was it easier to get off early if you were a 4*? Or was everyone in line priority? Loving the pictures. The lectures work well for DH too. I would really love to see some great evening shows on HAL, but I have to say I really haven’t. I am not a fan or Carnival, but their shows are more production quality. I’m anxious to hear what you retired from so young, lucky you.

We are just now 4* so I guess that helps. But there are lots of priority folks these days.

@canadianbear I read on whatsinport a description of the island and it sounds lovely. It is also the last stop for several days. I hope by next year they smooth that out.

When everyone has priority, no one does is exactly correct! Even a ship tour has to yield to “priority”, I know cuz we have. I hate tender ports! I will plan not to need oil so maybe stay on! Let us know if it was worth the trouble going in to port, please. Janet

@BermudaBound2014 you should be in HAL PR! I just can’t wait. Is there an up charge of any kind for the nights you have lobster? I am so psyched about lobster and escargot! I can’t wait for the snorkeling. Your pics are great. Have you spoken to SCUBA divers? Are they finding the diving out of the world or is it shallow enough that snorkeling is fine? I don’t know if we will be allowed due to age, but when we dived regularly we always wanted to go there but we couldn’t afford it. Janet

I understand @BermudaBound2014 and washy-washy! Noro is high in the US now; 12-13% in NE & West on shore here! It has been bad in our area. Take care even on planes & trains.

@BermudaBound2014 that looks great. I am glad to see it at the Lido instead of BBKing. It can be too loud and crowded there. If I were on board, I would vote heck yea. Janet

I just address the replies to the commenters so I don’t have to figure that out!

@BermudaBound2014 the photos are gorgeous! I have already cancelled one HAL tour in Kauai of the “Grand Canyon” because of reviews. I too am normally disappointed with them. Thanks for the heads-up. I love following along on your trip; I can’t wait until next year! Janet

@SonuvaBeach fabulous

@SonuvaBeach at which port are you taking these? Just gorgeous! What type of camera. The colors are great. Janet

@BermudaBound2014 I found your tour company on the roll call and I have sent them an email already to try to get it organized. It looks like exactly why we are taking this cruise! With 2 days, are you spending another day on the beach or maybe taking some hikes? Are there options for hiking the area? Janet

@BermudaBound2014 what is the port where you went to Mutu? The island names are all Greek to me, sorry! Janet
