Creator's Key Takeaways

I am about to embark on my very first Holland America cruise and I know that there are rumors and speculations about Holland America all floating around out there

I just completed two weeks on the Holland America new Staten Dam and I believe I have some insights to those questions that I asked earlier

the complimentary food I had heard that it was really good and I have to concur it was really good

I would say that cruise was probably the most relaxing cruise I've ever been on

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the Club Orange area on Pinnacle class ships for a private dining experience

✓Arrive at the theater 45 minutes early for the best seat choice

✓Bring books, games, or hobbies to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere
