Review summary

This was a nostalgia cruise for many people given the fact that HA has had this ship for 17 years and will retire it in 7/1/19. It was a small ship with a great layout felt larger than it was. This was her last trans-Atlantic crossing and there were many Mariners, ( HA award program), about 90% of the passengers. There were hundreds with top 4 & 5 star ratings, 16 5 Star platinum ratings, ( sailed with HA 700 days or more). HA is the right fit for many discriminating cruisers.

This is Holland America smallest ship with less than 900 passengers.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a Ocean View cabin, top of line in the catagory. It had a walk in closet more storage space than one person needs. HA does give single discounts to bookings at this level and below. Anything above is a 100% single supplement.

Ship tip

Forget about a booking as it is already sold to a German company and will be turned over to them on July 1, 2019
