This was our third time on the Zuiderdam (Z) (Aug., 04, Aug., 05 previously)and fourth time on a vista Class ship (Oosterdam, August 2006 to Alaska). Seven total HA cruises and 17 overall cruises. I have written other reviews and the one I wrote about the Oosterdam indicated an itinerary of activities that we were not as happy with as I had experienced in the past HA sailings. I think a negative trend is happening with HA.
This trip on The Z was not only the worst HA cruise I have been on but the worst vacation I could of imagined. When the best part of a cruise was disembarkation, you know it was downright terrible.
How far has the Z fallen? Our trip on the Z in 2004 was the best cruise we ever been on. Best to worse in 3 years.
