Creator's Key Takeaways

We love the music venues on Hall in America. I think Hall in America, and Becky agrees with me, Hall in America has everybody beat on the live music scene at sea.

We love the pool with the retractable roof. You can swim in it, rain or shine, hot or cold, wherever you're at.

The one thing we really loved about the new Staten Dam was the size of the ship. Those pinnacle class ships that Holland America has are just great size ships.

The Leo buffet is just it can get really congested really easily, which is how the tra the people traffic go through there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the app to order burgers and hot dogs to avoid buffet crowds.
Book a traditional dining reservation to avoid waiting in line for dinner.
