YouTube Video Description

We’ve taken more than a half-dozen cruises in the past year alone, sailing with all different types of cruise lines: from mainstream resort mega-ships to ultra-luxury small ships. Yet, there’s one line that we keep coming back to: Holland America Line. Their ships, their crew, the food, the entertainment, the value... there’s a lot to love about Holland America. So whether you’ve never sailed with Holland America before or you’re one of their 5-Star Mariners, in this video let us share with you 5 of the reasons why we personally love Holland America, and why we think you should too. If you want to see more about Holland America, watch these videos next: HAL Nieuw Amsterdam ship tour: https://youtu.be/S01zU8dDypk HAL Nieuw Amsterdam cabin tour: https://youtu.be/jKE5LYn-r4A.

And please subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks for helping our channel out! Also, shortly after we released this video, Holland America announced a number of changes to their onboard experience, especially their entertainment. We created this blog post to reflect on those changes (which we personally don't view as entirely positive). We certainly encourage you to read that blog post after watching this video: www.callingallports.com/blog/holland-america-update ##### Please SUBSCRIBE to Calling All Ports: https://www.youtube.com/@UCKZ2GccB3ePBpTPUzZgWfyA Follow us on INSTAGRAM: @callingallports | https://www.instagram.com/callingallports/ Follow us on TWITTER: @ports_all | https://twitter.com/ports_all Follow us on TIKTOK: @callingallports | https://www.tiktok.com/@callingallports?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Check out in-depth blog posts and more on our WEBSITE: https://www.callingallports.com/ ##### Music from Blue Dot:
