Creator's Key Takeaways

we are currently selling on Holland America's year Dam and we just wanted to give our initial thoughts so far for the ship

this is our first Holland America cruise so we had no idea what to expect so we just boarded and with an open mind

the food on this ship for it yeah amazing yeah I don't think I've been let down in any way shape or form um on this ship

the entertainment is different than what I was expecting in a good way and a bad way in certain certain aspects
