Creator's Key Takeaways

We just love these dam ships!! The Pinnacle Class ships on Holland America Line are quickly becoming some of our favorites!

The ships are beautiful, they are modern with really cool art pieces everywhere and have the best live music at sea!!

I think that is brilliant also on this pool deck you've got Dive In burgers really good burgers hot dogs and fries

that was one of the best things I haven't eaten in a long time I thoroughly enjoyed that that curry sauce that was the most creamy delicious

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Come up to Deck 9 for a quieter vibe if you want to avoid crowds but still enjoy the music and view.
βœ“Buy cameras on the ship to avoid sales tax.
