Creator's Key Takeaways

I wish I would have known that beforehand because we did purchase the package for Corey so that he could use the sauna throughout the week and that really wasn't needed because we could just do it for free.

We when we booked this cabin an interior was the only option that was available. So, we booked it and within the the week before we set sale, we got an offer from an interior to an ocean view and then we got another offer from an ocean view to a balcony.

We love on Holland America ships that you do not have to reserve your seats for shows.

Holland America includes robes in every single cabin.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check for Club Orange availability when booking your cabin for priority access and included room service.
Use the mobile app to order ahead for Dive in Burger and view dining room menus.
Check your email for cabin upgrade offers as your cruise departure approaches.
Pack something orange for the orange party held on every cruise.
