We love Holland. It's the most relaxing vacation ever! The crew, the food, the comfortable staterooms.... the feeling that our ship is on top of safety and we will be taken care of. It's all lovely. The Noordam has the same outstanding crew as the other Holland ships. Our stateroom is always perfect, and the cabin guys check in with us every day to make sure everything is fine. Food is wonderful. Entertainment used to be kind of dull but now with the BB King Blues lounge it is really fun. Liquor is fairly priced, and the upscale dining venues are a deal. We always get a balcony and love seeing the world go by from it...flying fish, whales, dolphins, or just other ships and sunsets. The only thing I think is kind of a rip off is the price of shore excursions. So we just do our own. Anytime we've had any sort of minor problem Holland was quick to fix it. Love this cruise line! Can't wait for our next cruise!
