Review summary

Sailed in the Caribbean for seven days! This is definitely a refined and older crowd. Which has its perks! No screaming kids, everyone is in control of the alcohol and it’s relaxing and smooth sailing. No drunks or idiots. Perfect way to cruise in my opinion. The ship is beautiful, looks brand new still. Crew and stewards were amazing as always with Holland America. One thing I will say is that if your looking for slides and wake boards and party boat, then look elsewhere. Everyone is usually in their staterooms around 12 every night. On our sailing, the adult pool area was closed three times due to someone throwing up in the water. That was the only bad thing to say. Food is good enough. It’s like a classy Luby’s, Furs Buffet, or Golden Corral. Holland America overall is top notch. Classy cruise line. Will sail again and again.

I agree @jacob51288 about the perks of cruising with Holland America! We love it! Although we have found the food to be superior to other cruise lines. We particularly enjoy the Tamarind, one of their specialty restaurants, and we love the way they set up their buffet with separate international stations which minimizes the lines. And you can’t beat the hamburgers at the Dive-In! As far as people being in their cabins by midnight, I’d agree with that, except of course, for me! 🤣🤣 I’m one of the late ones usually closing down the casino or B.B. Kings blues club. Happy cruising! 🍸

Thanks for the review! We are sailing on the Niew Amsterdam in November. We are pretty much through with Carnival after several cruises with them. We are ready for more sedate crowds. To each his own I guess!
