Review summary

This was our first cruise after the covid shutdown and everything was perfect. HAL required a vaccine and a negative covid test in order to board. Once on the ship, we were given HAL masks and 95% of the pax and 100% of the crew wore masks. We felt comfortable with HAL’s covid protocols and we never heard of anyone having problems. We’re glad that we went

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Holland America has stepped up their entertainment offerings

Ship tip

One piece advise that I’d give a new cruiser is Food is always at the back of the ship and the Entertainment is near the Front of the ship
