Review summary

As a 1st time cruise it was great. We were looking to see if we could even go on a cruise w/out being seasick. We were also trying to get an impression of places for retirement possibilities, or places we might like to return to for longer visits. We chose Holland mostly because of the smoking policy and the timeframe of the cruise worked for us. We didn't do any excursions other than where our feet could take us from the ports. I would do some things differently next time. There are plenty of other islands to check out and this still seems like the best value to see many places in 1 trip.

Aft cabin at the stern. Loved the location. Watching and hearing the wake was relaxing as watching a fire in the fireplace. The verandah was longer than the port or starboard cabins also. The room was nice and had enough storage and hangers. The bed and pillows were fine. Not the best location if you get queasy easily.
