Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food on deck same as in dining room. Not the quality of food I expect from Holland

I did not participate on the activities presented. When I went to the fitness center all machines were occupied.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Magician was funnier than comedian. Orchestra played for a film. (2 night)

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
nothing special but very adequate.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
painting was being completed on deck first night out. Canvas was stained on Lido deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Everything was great except the whirlpool tub/shower. Because of the whirlpool tub, was very difficult to get in (height). Tub depth was great but wasn't wide or long enough for me to fit and the whirlpool work.

Ship tip

Lower expectations of Holland cruises

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida Did not visit port

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
No excursion just went down town & walked around

Santo Tomas De Castilla, Guatemala

3 out of 5
Was on a excursion to see port. Is a very poor country.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
I booked Roatan VIP Free Style Private Tour which isn't offered by Holland. Had a private guide drive us around the island to see sites Alan was great. Felt we received a good understanding of the island

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Shops and entertainment at the port center is excellent. Went on a tour of some Maya ruins which was great. Only 16 people of this tour thru Native Choice Office.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
quick and problem free
