andyandsue Posted July 7, 2012 #51 Share Posted July 7, 2012 In May, we were told that it was no longer working. Oh that is a huge bummer. Why doesn't HAL fix up the items that are sub-par on this ship? This confuses me, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyandsue Posted July 7, 2012 #52 Share Posted July 7, 2012 The Veendam and HAL are definitely not geared for kids ... but we knew that when we booked ... and we all had a great time anyway! That is what we are prepared for as well. The 4 days in Hamilton and this being the last season to be able to do so are what brought us to HAL with the kids. We figure how bad can it be for the kids one day at sea each way? Once we are in Bermuda the last thing we are going to do is stay on the ship anyway...

I suspect there may have been complaints from "HAL regulars" about the big screen TV. That was one of the things folks didn't like when they did the re-fit. If it were actually broken, I'm sure it would have been fixed by now. No concrete evidence of this...just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No concrete evidence of this...just sayin' It wasn't working on our sailing either ... but I'm not sure if it would have made a difference to us ... as we didn't really spend a lot of time there. Maybe if it were working ... we might have ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if it were working ... we might have ;) Quite honestly, I was happy that it was out of commission on our cruise. Our 1st cruise was on Caribbean Princess and the "MUTS" was a huge turn off for us. I think the big screen TV under the stars is a great concept for some cruise lines...but it's not "typically HAL".
