Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Food was excellent as usual for every holland america cruise we've been on.
Onboard Activities
Not much going on, but based on the average age of passengers I guess this was the best they could do.
Entertainment
Comedians and music were good, but stage productions have gone downhill compared to other cruise lines

Ports of call
Typical Mexican port with high pressure sales every 5 feet. Actually felt harassed by venders and even when you tell them no, they still persued you. I had booked an independent boat tour which was wonderful.
Not quite as aggressive venders, but still very much there. I booked an outside excursion at a much reduced price compared to the cruise line. Tour guide had a masters in history and was wonderful.
Again, typical Mexico stop. After 3 like this, we have decided to not do anymore Mexican tours and cruises. I just do not like being badgered with every step.
Disembarkation
Organized and efficient
