For Children
Club HAL: Junior passengers are divided into three age-appropriate groups: 3–8, 9–12, and teens. Programming is based on the number of children booked on any given sailing, and children’s counsellors are provided accordingly. HAL’s children’s programs are not as extensive as those of Carnival Cruise Lines, for example, although they are improving with the latest ships.
Best ships for children: Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Oosterdam, Westerdam, Zaandam, Zuiderdam, but not: Amsterdam, Maasdam, Prinsendam, Rotterdam, Ryndam, Statendam, Veendam.
