Review summary

The ship was well maintained.  The food was excellent. Staff was pleasant and friendly especially Han from Myanmar (Bartender at the Great Outdoors- Deck 12).  The only disappointment we had initially was being placed on deck 4 when we booked early and are returning passengers and we brought 6 additional passengers with us that were placed on more preferable cabins than what we got.  But a lesson was learned about the guaranteed rooms. They were no advantage at all, not even in price, our friends booked through online travel agents got the fares for the same price or less and they were offered dining packages when we were not.

 

Overall a good cruise, our favorite port was in Honduras.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin steward was slow in cleaning our room and placed us in two singles rather than a double bed. It took us to 1:40 in the morning to resolve that issue.

Ship tip

The great Outdoors was a great place to eat breakfast or have cocktails later, bartenders are friendly, and willing to learn how to make your favorite cocktail, I would give them 10 stars if I could.

When I did the guarantee booking route on Holland America- we got an upgrade but it was in the bow and under the Promenade- very noisy and lots of motion. Never again - it's a way to sign off the crappy rooms
