Review summary

Had a great time. Thirst was our first Holland America cruise. Was very impressed! Will definitely cruise with them again! The overall itinerary was great. Could have skipped Sydney, Nova Scotia. Loved everything else. We met some wonderful people from all over. Sometimes that is the best part.

I’ve heard you need to rent a car or tour to really enjoy Sydney.

People can make or break a cruise. Glad you had a good time on your ship, and met lots of nice folks. I have to assume some of the nice folks were crewmembers as well as fellow passengers. Until your next cruise, TaTa!
