I’ll admit it… I was completely wrong about Holland America Line. 😱 After cruising more than 40 times, I’d never given HAL a chance - I thought it wasn’t “my style.” But I finally booked my first Holland America cruise… and let’s just say, I wasn’t expecting THIS! In this video, I share the biggest surprises, and why I now understand what makes Holland America so special. From the food and entertainment to the atmosphere onboard, this cruise completely changed how I see the brand. If you’ve ever wondered whether Holland America is worth it - or if you’ve been avoiding it like I did —-you need to watch this before you book your next cruise. #HollandAmerica 📍 Cruise Line: Holland America Line 🛳 Ship: Nieuw Statendam 🌍 Itinerary: Netherlands - Norway - Iceland Ad disclaimer - I was invited onboard as a guest of the cruise line.
