Review summary
Have cruised many times before first time on Holland. The ship being new was very nice, many intricate details. All staff were very nice and helpful. If you are under 60 or are looking for a ship with many activities. This is not the ship for you. The lido deck has absolutely nothing going on except a video that gets played over and over again of water droplets and icebergs. Never see the cruise director. He's just an announcer for the shows. The shows were just ok, maybe one step above a high school musical production. One night was just the video that you get to watch all day long on lido deck with now just a symphony playing in front of it. By 9:30-10:00pm the casino is pretty much cleared out. Many tables either a couple people playing or no one at all. Unfortunately, will be last time on a Holland ship, was just too boring for us.

Ship tip
The specialty dining rooms food was outstanding, but you pay for it extra. Be over the age of 65. If you want to just sit around and do nothing while on ship. This is the one for you
Ports of call
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic
