Creator's Key Takeaways

I would say the food on here tonight is better than I saw in the main dining room on Carnival Panorama and Carnival Horizon put together

I'm quite impressed with what doing here for the price now entertainment wise tonight entertainment was pretty good

I loved Holland America I'm really enjoying this so far so hopefully that continues

Creator's Tips & Advice

Enter the cruise with an open mind and the right attitude to enjoy it
Check luggage restrictions and weight limits before boarding to avoid extra charges
Use the daily schedule leaflet to plan your activities on board

#Cruise #MargaritavilleAtSea Join me as I take a cruise on America's worst-rated cruise line from Florida, as I head out to see for 48 hours to sample everything that this ship has got to offer. I'll be experiencing the food, the entertainment and all of the onboard facilities, to understand if this cruise line's poor reputation is justified. I'll be exploring the open decks, the two swimming pools, the onboard casino, the theater and so much more, and I'll be offering you my honest, unfiltered review.
