Creator's Key Takeaways

We're going to tell you what's included, what's not included, and more importantly, was it worth it for our experience.

I am really impressed with this Holland America cabin. It's beautiful.

The Wi-Fi signal and infrastructure has to be amazing. But, we can see it from here instead of walking the other hour just because we are a little bit scared of time.

The suite is just worth it for these cupies.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a balcony or ocean view cabin for scenic fjord cruising.
Check Holland America's cruise planner before sailing for Wi-Fi discounts.
Do DIY shore excursions in Norway to save money.
Download the ship's app for onboard information and bill tracking.
