Review summary

We loved exploring this new ship. This was the first time that we had sailed Holland. We had a problem with our drink package and didn’t get it resolved till the last night.

We had an assist, so it did not take long at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food in the Lido Market was wonderful. We love the different choices that we could make.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The pools and hot tubs stayed full of kids so we didn’t get to use them

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The Step One shows were awesome. The music at BB Kings and the Rolling Stone Rock Room is not to be missed.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We had great service from John and Sara in Guest Services. Our stewards, Javy and Asis, were like ninjas. We hardly ever saw them. They kept our room looking spotless.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is brand new. It was the third sailing. The crew is always cleaning. The ship is very easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had an accessible cabin, so it had plenty of room. The beds are very comfortable.
