This ship was about to undergo a complete remodel when we were on board. We thought that everything was very tastefully decorated already. The staff made sure we felt very welcomed. The room was always well tended to. We will always return to Holland America.

We had no complaints aboard this ship. The embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. The staff, as usual with Holland America, was lovely. They treated us all like princesses.

Cruise tips
We enjoyed ourselves in Buenos Aires. I suggest you take a couple of days prior to your cruise to get situated and discover what BA is really like. We got to town two days before our cruise and had parts of 3 days to tour. We took a beer tour we discovered through the Airbnb website. It was fantastic. 4 breweries over the course of an evening...not to missed. The beer scene in BA is pretty high quality, so if you are a beer connoisseur, check it out! The day we set sail, we took a walking tour through all of the smaller boroughs that are closest to the port. We talked to locals, got some of the coolest first hand information. I just love the vibe of this city. The people are friendly and warm. I could live here if I had to!
This is a FABULOUS glacier to cruise by. Our ship got us relatively close to this glacier and we were able to watch it calve. We could hear and feel the glacier breaking apart. It was amazing!
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
The beach here is amazing! There are tons of chairs out by the beach. We took the snorkeling excursion. The guides were super friendly and good at instruction. The waters were crystal clear and the fish were EVERYWHERE! When we got back to shore, we headed to lunch (provided by HAL). The food was plentiful and tasty!
