Review summary

A nice, relaxing cruise. It was a definitely an older crowd. We're in our 30s and we felt like some of the youngest people on the ship. So don't plan on partying all night on the cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very smooth

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was excellent. I'd only recommend buying one of the drink plans if you plan on drinking A LOT. The drink prices were comparable to any restaurant. So only buy the drink plan if you plan on drinking at least 7 or 8 drinks a day.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The activities are geared more toward an older crowd.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The magician was amazing!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Excellent service throughout the cruise.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was very clean and well maintained, but did feel a little dated even though the ship isn't terribly old.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was small but nice. Having the window is really nice. It's worth the extra money.

Ship tip

Don't buy the drink plan unless you plan on drinking at least 7 or 8 drinks per day, every day.

Surprisingly Holland is slowly starting to be more diverse. I believe all night activities end around 12 Am or 1Am which is pretty late although there are always those people who party late into the AM’s. Anyways sounds like you guys had a fun and relaxed cruise!
