Review summary

After having cruised for over 10 times on various Lines including 4 with Holland over the last 20 years we found this a very disappointing trip. Too many extras not included in the base price and too expensive to the point of feeling price gauged. Guest Services was a horrible experience in trying to correct a number charges applied to our account that were invalid. It took multiple visits and phone calls impacting our valuable vacation time and causing mental stress.
