Review summary

We love Holland America but this was a subpar cruise for them.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
The worst I have ever experienced. It took three hours or one long line after another, without proper ventilation, or access to,services.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was good. However there were two times in the main dining room where I didn’t get a plate of food. The buffets were so understaffed by the time you got through a line your food was cold. Also tartar sauce, ketchup, and other condiments were hard to find. Butter was at a ration as well.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Thermal spa was very nice.

Nice sized cabin with great amount of space.

Ship tip

Get a cabin mid ship because this class of vessel is bigger than other HAL ships.
