Review summary

This was our 19th cruise. The first 18 cruises were on Royal Caribbean Cruise line. We thought it was about time we start bringing her horizons by trying out other cruise lines. We started with Holland America Cruise Line. We were impressed in that Holland America is more geared to our age group. We’ve already booked another cruise on Holland America a transatlantic from Rome to Fort Lauderdale.

The ride to the beach was horribly bumpy! That’s not the cruise ships fault and maybe it wasn’t even the excursion company’s fault. All I know for sure is, don’t sit in the very last seat.
