Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Pinnacle Grill was excellent, as always. The rest of the food was good, but nothing great.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Fitness center well stocked. Pools ok. Pickleball good.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Entertainment on Holland is slipping into mediocrity.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As always, the staff was great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
No issues

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
No issues there either. 'Obstructed' view was barely obstructed, so that was nice.

Ship tip

Royal Dutch Cafe. Everything is better from there :)

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
City beach isn't bad at all. $20-30 for chairs and an umbrella for the entire day. (Stay toward the port side of the beach)

Castries, St. Lucia

2 out of 5

Soufriere, St. Lucia

Great itinerary. All cruise lines are cutting back, so I’m not sure you will find much better on other lines.
