5 Good/Nice/Positive Things about HAL

[Mharvey66]

Funny story about the Wang Wangs! Upon sailaway from Tampa, I ordered my usual Wang Wang. The bartender was in shock...wondering how I knew about the Wang Wang. Told him someone who sailed with us on the Noordam "Good Nuts" cruise clued me in (thanks, Richard! ;) )

 

What I did not realize is that the bar crew from the Philipines introduced the Wang Wang to HAL...a drink they claim belongs to them!

 

Apparently it is not often ordered on the Ryndam...each time I did, I was met with a huge smile from the bar crew!

 

What is a Wang Wang ??
