Review summary

This was our first time on Holland America and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was fabulous and better than on most other ships we have been on. We like the mid ship better than the larger ships as much less people (2000 vs. 5000) and the crew to passenger ratio is 2:1. Great time and we would definitely go back on HA.

Embarkation

Smooth and efficient. We did have priority boarding due to being in the Neptune Suite
