First, let me sail that we had a wonderful time. Brazil and the Amazon was amazing. The ports were great. As always the crew was also terrific. We were just shocked by the myriad problems the ship itself had. There were numerous leaks, not from the rain, but from within the ship. We often saw large fans set up and buckets to catch water. Several guests had to be moved because of the water in their cabins. Secondly, we heard from numerous people and in the open forums with the crew about the lack of adequate air conditioning. Cabins, especially on the upper decks, were given fans to cool off their rooms. Although we always had some AC, our cabin was never really cool. I also had difficulty getting y special diet in the Main Dining room. One night, I was given food that made me ill. I hope that if this ship is going to continue to sail that it can be brought up to HAL's usual standards. Now we're scheduled for another cruise on the Maasdam in 2017, and we are seriously reconsidering.
