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
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 but it has your standard entertainment
overall we would say we put this in the middle in terms of bar the quality of the cocktails better than average
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Try the oxtail from the buffet if you're from the Caribbean or enjoy Caribbean food
✓Attend the enrichment talks for free in-depth information about the ship and destinations
✓Tell bartenders your drink preferences to tailor cocktails to your taste

Ship size and layout — The ship is small but walkable; get used to the square layout and elevator access on certain decks
Demographic and age crowd — Pleasantly surprised by younger crowd on shorter sailing; family-friendly environment
Entertainment song selection — Music may be dated for younger crowd; attend enrichment talks for engaging content
