Creator's Key Takeaways

I have to tell you, I wasn't all that impressed. I mean, I have no regrets going on the island, but I don't know.

I find that being able to give feedback as you go, I have found that Holland America is actually very responsive.

It was our first time that we were able to use our phone without having to pay extra.

I would say it's been a very good cruise. It was been a little bit of an educational experience for me because the Holland America experience is different, a little more upscale.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If there's a kids area, just stay away to avoid grief.
Ask how far your dining room is from the kitchen to gauge food consistency.
Bring a second phone to avoid battery issues while ashore.
