This has been our most enjoyable cruise. More so because of the ship than anything else.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation went as well as could be expected with the large number of passengers
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The dining room meals were some of the best we have ever had.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We don’t generally use a lot of the activities, but did enjoy a few rousing games of ping pong. We loved the promenade deck where we could walk around the entire ship.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The stage shows were excellent. We particularly enjoyed The production of Humanity.
Children's Programs
We did not have children with us.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
We were happy to be back on board the Holland America line as we find the staff to be friendlier and more attentive than other cruise lines.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship still had that new car smell when we boarded. The entire ship was impeccable. Love the design & the art work.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our verandah suite couldn’t have been better. Nice sized shower. The bed was so comfortable. Lots of plugs. A beautiful large screen TV
Ship tip
Diet weeks before you embark. Bring a sweater as there are a lot of cold spots on the ship.
We arrived in Fort Lauderdale just in time to take an expensive cab ride to Port Everglades. The trip took over an hour due to the stop & go traffic. We did not have time to explore Fort Lauderdale.
