Review summary

The weather, the relaxing atmosphere were very nice.

I really believe something needs to be done with the initial safety drill. It seems like people who arrive on time are penalized while waiting for people who are late or don't arrive at all. I am glad to have the drill, but there must be a more efficient way to manage it.

With so many people using the buffet in the Lido, it was often difficult to find tables.

Overall I appreciate the excellent personnel on Holland America. The two shore excursions we took were very good.
