A few people complained the first few days about no enforcement…we asked that they make the announcement in Dutch also and have security go around the theatre before the show starts….they refused to do anything. Passengers go into any venue…to play games or read, and as soon as they do, they remove their masks….no drinking or eating involved. we are not happy about their response and don’t think we will be sailing HAL again in the near future. again, they changed the rules for a reason…high covid counts? They should not have given us the mask announcement when boarding if they were not going to enforce it.

On Rotterdam now and both the 4th and 5th decks between the mid and aft elevators are isolation. We are aft and can only access our cabin from the aft elevator or else we need to go down to 3, walk aft, and then go up to 4. no announcements of any kind about covid cases onboard. we were told upon embarking that masks were now mandatory indoors….no one is enforcing it, except maybe in the Lido….this was their change in policy for our cruise, for apparently a high case load, but they don’t enforce…then why give a change in policy for our cruise?

The issue is that when boarding the Rotterdam, we were told that we had to mask up indoors, if not eating or drinking…..so they should enforce their new rule on this ship.

It was HAL’s decision to tell us to mask up this trip….must have been for a legitimate reason, so enforce it, otherwise don’t give us a policy change upon boarding.

We are not happy that HAL implemented a mask mandate for indoors but then says they won’t do anything extra to enforce it. They are the ones who changed their policy for this cruise, apparently because of high covid numbers, so they should follow thru and enforce it. Very disappointed with them.

We are on the Rotterdam now. Masks are required indoors but no one is enforcing it. There have been several complaints made with no response. There are covid cabins on both deck 4 and deck 5. We can only use the aft elevators to get to our cabin on 4.

Many passengers need to be negative to get home….if you are from a European country you don’t need one..it’s easy to say that masking is not necessary if you don’t have to worry about flying home.

Thank you

Can anyone tell me how far the Avis car rental is from the port…address is Nedre Strandgt 50. is it walkable? Should we see if we can get a taxi? thanks….

Thank you…..we will be getting off as early as allowed…

Arriving at the Amsterdam port on a Sunday….are taxis readily available and waiting? thank you!

No testing and no masks…..

Each one has to do it separately…you can do each one at the same time on different devices…

Does HAL accept a letter of recovery to board a ship in Europe?
