I tried HOLLAND AMERICA Cruise Line despite the BAD REVIEWS- Here are my thoughts!

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a personal review of Holland America Line following a fourteen day repositioning cruise from Vancouver to San Diego on the Holland Europa. Having completed sixty cruises on various major lines, the creator addresses common criticisms regarding the cruise line, including its reputation for an older demographic, lack of diversity, limited activities, food quality, and ship age. The creator concludes that the experience was surprisingly positive, noting that the passenger demographic was more age-diverse than expected and that the ship lacked the high-energy amenities of lines like Royal Caribbean but offered excellent live entertainment and relaxation. Regarding food, the creator highly recommends the culinary options, specifically praising the pizza and specialty dining. While acknowledging that the line may not be the ideal fit for families with young children seeking high-energy activities, the creator suggests Holland America is an excellent choice for laidback travelers seeking a refined, mid-luxury experience. The review emphasizes that while the line may not offer the same level of diversity or high-tech features as other major carriers, the service and atmosphere are highly commendable.
