Creator's Key Takeaways

This is awesome. If you ever get a chance to get on a cruise, this is one of the cruises you want to get on.

Holland American does an excellent job in regards to most of their entertainment.

This cruise is not too old. This cruise hit me right in the sweet spot of 55 plus.

This is the best cruise for seniors that I've been on. This is great for black couples looking to cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you are looking for a turnup cruise, this may not be for you.
Enjoy life, enjoy your family, and sit back to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
