Review summary

Overall fun good cruise. Holland has gone way down in food. Its little things, cheap, fatty beef, no cheese served for pasta dishes, no extra sauce offered with sauce dishes. Endless up sales. Beverage are pricy. Internet was good.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
San Diego was a disaster, standing lines on the street for 45 minutes despite reporting at assigned time. No seats for elderly or protection from weather.
