Review summary
Very good itinerary. Lower staterooms needs to be brought up to date, for the $$ you spend for them. Better training for room stewards and wait staff and folks incharge of the muster stations.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Beginning muster drill was a joke. Our section would have gone down with the ship. Who ever was incharge of our station didn't know what to do.
Ship experiences

Good tasty dining room food. Tasty desserts. Lido buffet was good be not alot of variety, Lots of lamb. Pinnacle Grill was excellent.

3 out of 5
Not many offered and when they did a couple activities overlapped. Cruise director morning chat was interesting, and their guest speaker was very good (Mr. Buzzard). Only group activities we participated in was trivia.

Very old couch, worn out rug. Old 50's/60's blond venee on dresser and closet. Closet doors did not evenly match.
Ship tip
Check with Holland American to see if they have updated oceanview and veranda rooms.
Did New England on the Maasdam last year. Food was not very good and service was even worse. Very poor communication tv Chanel for activities and information was not working. Ship needs to be updated and the crew needs to be trained.
