I don't like Trivia Competitions much but with a quiet day today I eventually joined up with Trish and her team at today's Trivia Quiz. An older American couple made up the team and after the quiz we got chatting.
They were enjoying their 30th cruise and were very experienced cruisers. He said every single cruise line has its good and bad points.
He said you just have to learn to play the game.
He said they are wary of some Cruise Line organised excursions. They are usually more expensive. He prefers to chat with the local taxi driver outside the Port gate and negotiate his own trips.
Be ready to be ripped off. The Cruise Line isn't going to make a profit out of just your fare, they want you to drink and to gamble. They want you to go on their excursions.
He had used a different Cruise Line to sail to Europe, drinks on that line were $12 each but other things were cheaper than HAL. On some lines there aren't snacks with drinks or chocolates left on your bed.
From all his experiences he said Holland America Lines (HAL) was one of the better ones that he had travelled with.
As the guy said, just play the game. Do your research and remember there will be good points and not so good points. All you have to do is play the game!
