Review summary

I've done over 17 princess cruises and decided to try Holland for the 2nd time. Wasn't impressed with the 1st cruise. But, I will have to say Holland America has redeemed themselves! Best cruise every taken. From the dining experience, food, entertainment and staff they are now my #1 cruise line! Have already booked my 3rd cruise with them.
