Review summary
Ship was immaculately clean both inside and out. Service was excellent. A real plus was very low key up-selling for drinks, specialty dining, etc., as opposed to most cruise lines. Main dining room food was excellent with a variety of choices. Pinnacle Grill specialty restaurant is a very elegant affair. We enjoyed 3 excellent programs that the ship offered. Adagio their classical music program in the evening, the BB Kind Jazz group, was just first rate and exciting, the America's Test Kitchen program was fun and informative. The ship has so many intimate spaces, it makes the ship so very comfortable. Also, a real plus, they are not blasting loud music all over the place, and if music is playing it is soft, almost muted. Service throughout the ship is excellent and prices for drinks and specialty coffees were very reasonable. It was our first HollandAmerica cruise and we signed up for future cruise while on board.
