Get to know the layout of the ship before you sail. It will make it a lot easier to navigate the ship during your cruise.

Small ship. Pool and food areas could feel crowded on sea days.

Consider another cruise line if you're used to what most cruise ships offer.

Captain gave a talk which was outstanding. Pretty rare to have a Dutch sea captain with a great sense of humor. He took questions for probably 30 minutes after his talk, don't miss this if offered on your cruise.

make sure to check out the Crowd Nest for a spectacular view.

Average age 75, many wheelchairs, be prepared for that. Food is great but don't bother with the drink package. You can get water from the drink stations on the Lido deck.

Overall I think this is a cruise for older adults except that in exchange for less to do, I want better food and better entertainment. I cannot recommend this cruise. We were a group of high school, college age, 40s, 50s and 70s. Only the one set of parents in 40s who never cruised before would recommend. We did have fun but I believe another ship would have been better suited for our group and could have offered more activities, less upwelling and better food.

Rent a Cabana for your cruise- they pamper you with champagne 🍾 Chocolate covered strawberries 🍓 and will get you anything you like - our cabana boys were so amazing and on top of anything we needed.. plus you stay out of the masses fighting for deck chairs

The ship was decorated so beautifully for the holiday season.

Don’t expect too much and you will be fine. It was a good cruise just nothing too exciting.

Be prepared for a very old crowd

Do not expect a lot of entertainment, great cruise for the geriatric generation. Not a party boat

It is an older ship, but still amazing. The staff was extremely friendly.

Take advantage of the main dining room meals, they are outstanding! If you would like to see more foods offered in the evenings (after 8:30pm), please let Holland America know this! Most people we talked to on our cruise were a bit upset that they did not have snacks or something to eat in the evening hours).
