Review summary

Not sure I would spend the money to cruise on Holland America again. Having traveled on the Disney Cruise Lines over a dozen times, some without our kids, I would have expected a similar high end experience with Holland. Unfortunately that was not the case.

The main food was so poor in quality we were forced to book and pay additional money just to get a meal worthy of this level of cruise line.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

2 out of 5
No excursions. Just enjoyed the beach.

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Very small island but the people went out of their way to personally thank us for coming to visit. Radio Beach was really nice. There’s a small straw market to which the vendors could not have been nicer. Unlike most island stops no “hair braid lady” people shouting and harassing you. $60 for a golf cart rental and u r off and running. Joe’s Conch Shake is tops.

Disembarkation

Ft Lauderdale port authority did a great job.
