Creator's Key Takeaways

I went on the Holland America Uram with my mom. Um, we did a four-night cruise from Fort Lauderdale to supposedly, I forgot this happened. We'll get into that. Nassau and Half Moon Key, their private island.

Overall, Hall in America, it was not as stuffy as I thought it was. It was still very chill, calm, luxurious, just very relaxing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're going on Holland America and want to bring your own wine, they're going to charge you for it.
If you're willing to risk it, the closer it gets, they'll drop the upgrade price if they still have the rooms.
Beware of Half Moon Key in November due to weather; it's a tender port and can be cancelled.
