Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

loved the cabin but wished there was a plug near the bed for my husbands CPAP machine. The steward nicely brought an extension cord and wired the room for us

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

It would have been easier if Holland American offered Covid tests prior to disembarkation so we didn't have to rush to airport for them
