Review summary

We took our first cruise on Holland America and will be going back to Royal Caribbean or Norwegian. Ships are nicer, better entertainment and much more staff and dining options.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Getting off was very well organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Was not what we have experienced on our other cruises with Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. Lines were long and seating in buffet was difficult to find. Not enough servers and lines at ever station - food was also not hot as expected.

Lido Market

2 out of 5

Did not like long lines or quality of food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The pools and hot tubs were nice but limited chairs on sea days

Entertainment

3 out of 5

What they had was OK. Did like the dueling pianos.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room stewards were good Not enough waiters and had to find them to clear off tables as Lido cafe was full many times we were there

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was very nice. We had a large balcony room and bathroom was larger than most

Ship tip

This was an older crowd and smaller ship. With the rough waters we encountered a larger ship would have been better. If you are young and have a family that would like to meet others your age take a different cruise line. This ones appears to cater to an older crowd - over 65
