Creator's Key Takeaways

our agency loves Holland America we have a clientele that just dovetails perfectly with Holland especially on this kind of a cruise where we're not seeking beaches and and water sports

the Experience on this cruise is that the shore excursions from Holland America have sold out

my advice is to consider booking excursions in advance right through the app or online and you know make a reservation

slower paced easy going fun and history
