After booking this cruise almost 12 months ago we were allocated a cabin 10 days prior to its sailing. The booking in Rotterdam was very slow there were not enough personnel booking passengers in and this created long delays.
We booked an o/s cabin on main deck and all was fine the cabin size was good but from the beginning we had problems with the a/c controls when the weather was getting warmer the cabin got so hot that you woke up sweating and the a/c was as low as you could set it. we were told there was nothing they could do about this as it was an old ship mind you in some of the public areas you needed a jumper as it was so cold.
HAL has really slipped to a 3 star line the food was average to say the least we send many dishes back as it was cold or the taste was terrible like under cooked liver good to make you sick. but we never saw the head chef we were told he was not available as there were to many complains/
