Creator's Key Takeaways

Holland America's New Stanton dam is their second Pinnacle class ship launched in 2018 it's one of their newest ships with a 2,666 passenger capacity and loads of amenities let's take a tour

The Atrium is smallish as bigger ships go it extends to three decks high and is a central point for guest services and some restaurants but it's too small to be a main Hub

the best feature here is its retractable roof which controls climate no matter the weather makes for one of the most comfortable pool areas out there

food quality overall was pretty good we prefer the main dining room food but this is serviceable if you don't want to take time for the fine dining ritual

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your Voyage length for laundry service charges
Book dining reservations ahead for specialty restaurants
Use the water and ice machines on the Lido deck
