Hi Joan,
Thanks for your comment. I’m convinced to arrive a day early if I have more than a 3-hour drive to a port. You just never know when an interstate is slowed or a segment shutdown. From other comments I’ve received, the HAL libraries were an important fixture. Libraries on ships are slowly becoming a thing of the past, especially with e-readers so common now.

Just off the Zuiderdam, and thinking back to the Konigsdam. No library on the z as well! What a mistake HAL. Missed the NY deli and close location of entertainment venues. Sherry, sympathize with your harrowing trip to Get to the port. We came.two days early this time and it was.lovely to be well rested. We left early the morning after Thanksgiving-that was awful but avoided a lot of post Thanksgiving struggle flying.

No library is a deal breaker. Have sailed k. Twice. One week Carib and 30 day transatlantic and med. Told both times library is coming. Now I don’t believe them. The fact that I won’t sail k again because of the lack of a library makes no difference to HAL, but it is the only thing I can do beyond the complaining, which I have done. Wake up HAL.

Hi Nancy,
Good choice with Koningsdam! Be sure to go to the BBC Earth presentation in the main theatre…it’s fabulous. About the roll call on HAL FaceBook page – it seems to be working fine now. No one has started an event yet or checked in, so maybe that’s why you didn’t see any names on it? You can also try Cruise Critic’s Roll Call, too. Have a wonderful cruise! Happy Travels!
