Entertainment

5 out of 5

The entertainment and variety of shows was fantastic. We loved the timing of shows also, that allowed us to go to an event on the main stage and then also listen to music in the Lincoln Center Stage.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Holland America was great when our luggage did not make it to the ship due to problems at Alaska Airlines. They provided toiletries, clothes, and free laundry service as well as serving to expedite connections with Alaska Airlines so that our bags were delivered as early as possible to the ship on our arrival in Cabo.

Take the marina and distillery tour to Dona Engracias. Lots of fun and tequila!! We also loved the evening excursion to Las Coletas with dinner and show. This was a fantastic experience.
