We have not had a positive experience on Norwegian and have not had a negative experience on 75 cruising days on HAL. We might try Norwegian again just to confirm we don’t care for the company but haven’t been able to bring ourselves to do it.
As you can see I made this video almost three years ago and pre-pandemic. I really found that the experiences were equivalent with HAL maybe edging ahead for me but I am part of that slightly older demographic. I did a Princess cruise this year and it was good but only at 50% capacity and that made it uncrowded and relaxed.
You have a very quiet voice, and it's not mike'd up. Even with my volume cranked up, I had some difficulty in hearing some of your discourse. Then your included videos of evening performances were very loud, and I had to crank down my volume. Then you were speaking again, and I had to crank my volume up again.
The "main" entertainment on HAL remindes me of the side shows on Carnival. I was very impressed with Carnival's Broadway type shows. HAL looks depressing...
Excellent video! Thank you. Have been on several Holland America cruises thought I would try to Norwegian just to see what the difference are. And I haven't been on a Norwegian cruise yet coming up but everything you said about Holland is correct keep up the good work
For 2021 choices are limited and happen to be NCL vs HAL. Helpful indeed. Thanks. I travel solo most of the time, so at the end the decision factor tend to be itinerary and time of the year traveling. PS Try HAL new ships, still the same but bigger and even more elegant than the old ones.
Thanks for your comment. Glad you found this helpful. I am booked on a Norwegian cruise from Rome to Dubai in February. The 50% solo discount and some added onboard spending money (and the interesting itinerary) sold me on this one. Will see how this goes. Enjoy cruising.
Hi John, I stumbled across your Channel which caught my eye as my wife and I are taking our first cruise this coming January on Holland America’s Eurodam throughout Caribbean and Panama Canal. I found your video to be interesting and informative. It sounds like we should have a nice time on the Eurodam. Best of luck to you as you continue to grow your Channel. FYI. I will subscribe after finishing this message...Ed
I cruised on the Eurodam before, I think you will enjoy it, I advise you buy the spa package just for use of the thermal Spa. Nice ship extremely great crew
Hello friend, Nice channel,keep uploading more videos. I have subscribed your channel. Hope you will subscribe to mine as well. Together we grow in you Tube. Thanks
They are video collections of photos so they are, in fact, movies. My iPad automatically makes "Memories" videos of my photos and organizes them into either geographic or dates.
