Review summary

21 day cruise consisting of an older population. Very informative presentations by the cruise and travel director, Valerie. Nice to be back on the sea.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Really fast at Seattle Pier 91. I was early for my embarkation time slot but they weren’t concerned.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was great but the selections were less than pre-COVID and repetitive.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There plenty of things to do and many informative presentations.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Wonderful performances by the dance group. Other shows were entertaining and age appropriate (over 60).

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Roomy for one, no couch.

Thanks for sharing important info about the overall vibe of the cruise. Sounds like it's core audience is for an older crowd. I haven't tried Holland, is that the case with all of their ships?
