Rare rafinmd Posted December 21, 2016 #76 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have started on the comparison that I alluded to here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2433753 Pcruzer, you ask if there are things HAL does better than Crystal. I think that's a largely subjective question depending on a person's tastes and desires; there are some things that HAL does better from my point of view, but I'll save them for my final installment.

cruisun Posted December 21, 2016 #77 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I have found all the boards on CC to be very helpful when you are researching. Very helpful. :) Now, if you happen to express some disenchantment with a cruise line justified or not, the cheerleaders abound (including this board) and you are often chastised :). I discovered that the hard way on a live thread when I was dumb enough to report Noro observations. C'est la vie, As was wisely pointed out anyone can have a bad cruise on any cruise line ;) Especially that anyone can have a bad experience on any line....and that two sailings on the same ship just a week or so apart can vary greatly. I've noticed differences sometimes even on a b2b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammiedawg Posted December 21, 2016 #78 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Quick note to those worried Berlitz scores never change or are biased by commercial ads. Never fear, there is room for scores to drop some more. Prinsendam 2017 score 1376 maasdam 1239 Veendam 1234 The two ships that hit our sweet spot for almost everything were unchanged at 1677 and 1679. Didn't have time to look at Crystal scores as I had two minutes after picking up some last minute kid gifts. I read the book every single year and will do so in a few months. I didn't see any ads, I don't remember seeing them in past years. I believe the book has a thirty plus year track record. I have no idea on whether Prinsendam has a golf simulator but my thought is they were credited with something they did not have which inflated the score a little.

iancal Posted December 21, 2016 #79 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Is there a relationship between the Berlitz scores and the ships that HAL has been trying to dump for the past few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
