Is a Holland America Cruise for You? | Our Top 6 Things We Liked | 3 Things We'd Change

Editorial Summary

The creators share their experiences after completing twenty-eight consecutive days of cruising on three different Holland America ships. They highlight several positive aspects of the line, including the classy and upscale decor that avoids a theme park atmosphere. The pool environments are described as relaxing and high quality, featuring real plants and a convenient towel system. In the cabins, they appreciated extra touches like in-room umbrellas, dry bars, and on-demand movies. The quality of the musicians and the high standard of food, both in dining rooms and specialty venues, were noted as major strengths. Additionally, they found the cruise line to be a great value for the price. However, they noted three areas for improvement. They experienced inconsistency regarding vegetarian menu availability and staff communication across different ships. They found the main theater shows to be underwhelming compared to the large production shows found on other lines. Finally, they noted that the ship layout caused music from different venues to bleed together, which limited simultaneous entertainment options. Despite these critiques, the creators conclude that the service is exceptional and would recommend the line to those seeking a classic cruising experience.
