HAL Rotterdam visit in Liverpool

Su Dillon on 12 August 2024
Visiting a cruise ship in Port is always rather cool, but nothing better than being up North in Liverpool Monday this week I had a look around ROTTERDAM – a stunning ship from Holland America Line (HAL) With a stunning lunch on board too it was simply divine Holds just over 2600 passengers when every cabin is full So lots of space on board which felt really wonderful HAL would appeal to adventurers , Foodies and music lovers galore We had to chance to look around the ship and time to explore From Rolling stones rock bar, a piano lounge and music from the Deep South USA You’d certainly not be board of what to do on board I really must say Renowned for their amazing service , operating for over 150 years An array of bars on board from Whiskey jar to Cocktails for all to say cheers Alaska being just one of their special areas, down the west coast From Seattle and Vancouver , spending longer in port than most If you want to visit explore the Yokon or the gold of Dawson City Be in awe of the wildlife or the scenery which is amazing and pretty No buses needed here as the ships get you right into the port Glacier ice in your cocktails or eat a salmon you have just caught! With Holland America line their special add on - you really can HAVE IT ALL Special Dining , Shore excursions , Wifi, Tips and Drinks up to $11 on any pub crawl! A choice of beautiful staterooms from Inside to balcony or suite The wonderful crew service on board is what makes it complete Lovely vibe on board , casino/shops and show lounge there really is so much Holland café on board too – with a some hints to heritage of the Dutch Beautiful area with hot tubs, a bar and a beautiful pool Retractable roof so when in Alaska , it’s covered over if it’s too cool 2025/6 special sailings to see the Solar eclipse or the Norther lights Or choose many other areas of the world and all their delights Here’s a few little snapshots of my wonderful day on Rotterdam. I know being a TC and experiencing these days , how lucky I am !
