Returned from our 7-day Western Caribbean on the Eurodam. This is an annual brothers/wives trip (8 total) and was our first cruise on HAL since a 2011 Nieuw Amsterdam cruise. The past several years we have cruised almost exclusively on Celebrity. So, just wanted to give some random thoughts on the cruise without hopefully going into excruciating detail.
EMBARKATION
With 7 ships leaving FLL we wanted to get an early start and arrived at 10:20 at the port. Doors were opened and we breezed thru security and check-in. Boarded about 11:45 and were able to go to the cabin. This is one thing I really love about HAL since on X you wait until after 1:00 to get in to the cabin. Now, let's start taking advantage of that Explore 4 Drink package.
Nice way to see the island
What a waste of time this port is, and I hate to say that as my wife and I spent our honeymoon on MoBay. Did not even get off the ship as we received warning from HAL about possible violence due to upcoming elections. And there is nothing at the port worth getting off for.
