Review summary

Crew was great, which is why it got a 1... but with TWO on board fires that last two days of our cruise I would think twice before boarding this vessel. One was an electrical short which caused a micro Eti catch fire then last night the incinerator caught fire. Not great hearing two emergency alarms on one cruise. This is my fifth cruise and the first time on holland America and the first time with issues. Not impressed. Won't be using them again.

They lied to you they were two actual fires. The captain even came on the speaker with the second fire to tell us what happened with the incinerator fire.

I called HAL today and the representative said there had not been any fires reported. Could there have been 2 fire DRILLS?

We had a wonderful time on this ship in June. Must have been very frightening for you.

Our first and last cruise was with them on the same ship. Terrible. No entertainment, food was bland. Never again!
