Creator's Key Takeaways

I had a really hard time finding fault with this cabin we were very surprised to find a bathtub and a cabin that was not as sweet

I was pleasantly surprised at the number of casual dining options so outside by the pool area you have the dive in Burger which I think is phenomenal

I was so impressed with the quality of food in the dining room I loved the Asian menus I love that they brought in the influences from the places we were sailing

the crew was phenomenal they were friendly they were kind they were attentive it was the best buffet service we've ever had

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you want a younger, more active clientele on Holland America, consider sailings that start outside the United States.
If you have four people, the cabin would be very tight; consider storage and bed configuration.
