Creator's Key Takeaways

Is Holland American good for black couples? The answer to that particular question is yes.

There's no better band on the sea than BB King. They are the best entertainment I have experienced since I started cruising.

The food is hit and miss. Food wasn't great. It wasn't bad.

We cruise Holland American again. I would say yes, just because of the experience that we had.
