ranles Posted June 3, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Tried to do this as a trip report but told it was more appropriate as a post, by cruies critic. This is my trip report posted on flyertalk. As more people can benefir from the details of our cruise here, I post this link. 20 days on the Noordam was preceeded by a 5 day precruise package thru HAL in Rome. both East and West Med http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=828378 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhea58 Posted June 3, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Read your report & curious to know why you booked all of your tous thru HAL which as you pointed out, were more expensive. Also who was the Cruise Director? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranles Posted June 3, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted June 3, 2008 At the time, I thought it would be best (months before the cruise). Lots of foreign countries and languages. The cruise director was Adam, I believe he was a bit new, but I do not know that as a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Island Lady Posted June 3, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Can't wait to read your review, as I leave for Rome on Friday! You probably did the right thing in booking your shore excursions through HAL, when you did. The HAL pricing has gone up. I don't blame you for being careful. We have booked two excursions through HAL and two with recommended private drivers. The rest, we plan to do on our own and I can tell you that I am a little nervous about that decision.
