Creator's Key Takeaways

I am staying comfortably WellMed I will say that this is my first experience on Holland America and it's a lot to take in but I'm doing okay

the burger was wow fantastic it did not have the pop or the wow factor of the Smash burger at Hudson's but pretty darn close

I find them so cringy is because it's factory art you know Factory bling all this stuff it's made in a factory

I think what they missed and I think what princess also missed is the burgers they're not charred enough they're cooked but they're not charred

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan specialty dining bookings early to avoid scheduling conflicts
Check dress code policies for dining rooms, as tank tops may not be allowed

I start my first Sea Day aboard Holland America Line's M/S Rotterdam by missing breakfast but make up for it in the dining room. Learning what makes HAL.
