Should've done better research. HAL caters to older people. If you were looking for more of a party atmosphere you should've gone with Carnival.

It’s always best to do research when choosing a cruise or any vacation. Holland America is not known for their entertainment or onboard activities and it’s not a cruise line for people that want nightlife and a party atmosphere.

Another bot review....Trolls are everywhere now. This person probably has never even been on a cruise before.
