Review summary

Very good overall and would recommend Holland America. On board service is excellent. Food is good and tasty. Highly recommend Tamarind restaurant. Steak at Lido and Pinnacle Grill just ok and can be skipped (Think Ponderosa/Sizzler/Golden Corral). Ship and cruise line aimed towards adults/seniors and not geared for children. Range of on-board activities adequate but could be more varied. Major con is poor Wi-Fi.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Good, but could have been better. Ground personnel at the port little bossy.
