Review summary

I would not cruise on this ship again. Very old. No entertainment and everything closed early. Not very friendly staff. The ports were great. Our room steward was great. The food in the buffet was just not very good. Out of all the ships we’ve been on this has been the worst. First time on HollandAmericaLine.

Our room steward was very good. We’ve been on many cruises and I have to say this was the most unfriendly staff we’ve had.
