Review summary

Probably the best ship we have ever been on. The ship was new, immaculate and the crew/staff was more than accommodating. The entertainment was professional and the food wonderful. I can’t say enough about Holland America’s quality.

Ship tip

Don’t expect to share your cruise with other passengers worthy of such a wonderful experience, most were rude and inconsiderate, the bottom of the barrel of humanity.
