Review summary

It was a wonderful trans pacific crossing, very calm seas & nice weather....BUT

the food was the worst I have had on Holland America. You would think the with the ship leaving from Japan, good food items would be loaded. The only "good" items were the eggs.....wonderful golden yellow yolk color. The rest of the food was just bland, except that somehow they managed to put cilantro into almost everything. Every meal 2 or 3 items had it in it & also coconut milk. The food was just bland, nothing stood out & the deserts were awful, they all tasted like they were made from a package with "just add water".Imagine 16 days with less than desirable food.

Service on board was A+, as usual. Cabin service top notch, ship is easy to get around.The shows at night we hit or miss. The dancers were great, but the singers were off key & out of tune.
