Creator's Key Takeaways

this was my first visit to any Holland America Line ship

the atrium and this is probably the most modern atrium that I have come across

I was really impressed with the leader pool on bought new statin dam because it is a cover over pour

the food that we had in this diamond was absolutely gorgeous as well

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit the Lido pool for covered swimming in inclement weather
Try the Pinnacle Grill for steak or seafood
