Review summary

Snooze cruise, rude 80+ year old people. We are 50 and we’re the young ones. Food exceeded any expectations. Entertainment sucked.

Everyday they had a drinking class or culinary. Very slooooow paced.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

This was a blue hair cruise. We have sailed Carnival Magic where it was lively and fun. Entertainment was very limited to a couple hours in the evening mostly classical and snooze fest. No DJ’s, clubs, dancing, 2 comedy shows for the whole week. Entertain yourself by watching the ocean.

Ship tip

Get a balcony, some rum runners to pack spirits onboard. You will be nickel and dimed for everything! Your food experience will be awesome!!!! Entrainment, glamour, shops, entertainment is very lacking. Plan on relaxing and Not partying

Sounds like they didn't research very well or they would have found out before booking that Holland cruises are more refined. Holland is not a party barge.
