First time doing this California Coastal Cruise and we will repeat as often as possible; maybe next time Santa Barbara will be open. So happy to be back cruising after two years of Covid isolation!
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Still ramping up from Covid shut-down and boarding the same time as Disney, we had to wait in line for approximately an hour, but it was not unpleasant because we were so happy to finally be able to cruise again!

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
First time aboard this ship and we love it! Very well planned out and executed design and fittings. We will definitely book again.
Holland America never disappoints. After not cruising for over two years, it is a joy to be aboard again. The Koningsdam is gorgeous and the staff as nice as ever if that's possible. 😊
The entertainment is wonderful, especially for this music lover. Everything from stunning classical quartet to memory- stirring rock and roll!
