YouTube Video Description

#HollandAmericaLine #Cruise If you're planning to cruise with Holland America Line, here's 20 things that you NEED to remember to do whilst on your cruise! The best part? Most of them are FREE, so won't cost you a cent! Before this cruise, I had no idea what to expect from a cruise with Holland America, and so I thought putting this video together may help others in a similar position to what I was. It's safe to say I was really impressed with my experience on HAL, and I'm hoping that sharing my tips and advice here can help you enjoy your trip to the full too! These tips apply specifically to my experience here on Rotterdam, which is the newest Pinnacle Class ship in the Holland America fleet, but it's important to note that these tips will also benefit you if you're planning to cruise on other Holland America ships: Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Nieuw Statendam, Noordam, Oosterdam, Volendam, Westerdam, Zaandam or Zuiderdam! If you'd like to see more of Rotterdam, the newest ship in the fleet at the point of recording this video, then click the link below to check out my full ship tour!
