Creator's Key Takeaways

I was surprised at the strength of negative views that came back so I decided that I should explore the three biggest and consistent criticisms

holland america is definitely a classic and traditional cruise line they don't have resort ships with water parks rock climbing walls ice rinks and video game arcades

the music walk this is a big innovation and this has changed the on-board experience a lot

the quality of food is improved but how and why well i discovered with a bit of investigation that they'd formed a seven-person culinary council
