OK for a cruise. Not much variety. But, there was an outstanding string quartet in one of the lounges.

Especially the dining staff. They even put on a show for us in the theater!

Pros: Great views of glaciers and friendly dining and room staff.

Cons: They were a little pushy with their products -- tours and drinks. We did not take any of the Holland American tours, but were able to do lots when we got off the trip with local guides.
