I admit it (as some have mailed me asking...) I work for Holland America Line (HAL) as a Deck Officer.
Although we are all part of the same organisation, Carnival Corp, I have to admit, those of us that work on HAL ships often 'look down' on our Carnival Cruises collegues as our...erm.. poorer cousins.
But the thing is, other than lending some much needed spare navigation equipment to a Carnival vessel one day, ive never actually been around their ships.
For those that have sailed with both Companies a question - we in HAL think we provide a more professional, initmate if not exclusive service than Carnival, but the thing is, do we have a right to think that? Are we any different/better?, or have we too been sucked into the mass market, cost saving, few frills cruising that has made Carnival so popular with the masses?
