We have enjoyed traveling on HAL ships for many years. Among the many pleasures was the library, the daily NYTimes synopsis of news and sports, etc. After being away for a couple of years, we recently sailed on the Oosterdam from San Diego down to Mexico and back. We were amazed that there was no longer a library onboard, no NYTimes printout, etc. The entire floor, which housed the library books, the computers, etc. had been reconfigured with technology. There were a few reference books available and that was it. Is this the case onboard all the HAL ships?
Where have the libraries gone?
in Holland America Line
