We loved dining in the main dining room. It is great to be waited on which we do not experience much at home. The waiters were lots of fun and even say to us on our anniversary! This made it very special. The food was excellent and the waiters were very attentive and fun to get to know.

We chose as you please dining which worked out very well. There was sometimes a line for The main restaurant, but the alternatives, such as the Lido Cafe and Thai and Italian were very good. Also there are tables for two people, which sometimes was nice if you just wanted a quiet evening together

If possible book a larger cabin. But overall the cruise was magnificent!

Got on in Venice. To board the ship there were no signs to direct us to the ship. When we found out where to go by other cruisers, we had to walk a long distance with luggage to check in and board. Was very, very dissappointed with the cruise line in this regard.

as you wish dining was always a wait if you wanted a smaller table

DO NOT TAKE A CABIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHIP. THEY SHAKE ALNOST ALL THE TIMA

DO NOT TAKE CABIN 6072 OR NEAR IT. IT SHAKES ALL THE TIME

Don't be late for sit down lunch or breakfast-showed up at 9 for breakfast and they would not seat us as they said open till 9-also had same at coffee bar but they were closing 15 minutes early BB KIng Blues room fills fast

If you want to relax with a majority of seniors, this is the right cruise.

Avoid this ship if you can. Guests are always nice. If not happy with anything go to main office. They will listen to you. Don't expect pampering on this ship. Very cold atmosphere. But enjoy the weather and places you want to visit.

Skip the western leg. And don't do like we did and settle for poor service in the Lido deck.

Bring snacks.

We loved the cabana club, it is a little bit pricey but we really enjoyed it. We highly recommend it for those who want privacy but still want the view.

Either get an inside cabin or a verandah for twice the dough. If you get a guarantee ocean view it has a great chance of not being a view cabin at all.

As You Wish Dining is the way to go if you enjoy meeting other people.

Ship needs work - (we were extremely disappointed with the vibration issues on the ship). If it had not been for this would have been a remarkable trip. The people were nice and hospitality good. We are very apprehensive on rebooking with Holland America and never experienced problems like this.

we did sit with other people at dinner and met some very nice and interesting people.
