Experiencing a smaller ship for the first time proved to be advantageous.More space,more intimate venues, and interacting regularly with the same guests proved to be a plus.
Was especially impressed on this Holland Cruise -unlike all ships of any cruiseline that I have been a guest by THE Interaction of the Officers and Captain with the guests.This innovative feature on this ship propelled by the Hotel Manager gave a wonderful atmosphere on the sailing. The Captain Arna Jutten eating in the buffet, the Officers mingling in the bars and public areas,the Hotel Manger Florin Dragomir and Cellar Master Zoltan Fodor frequently visible in public areas gave this voyage a welcomed transparency.
The entertainment was fabulous with the onboard troupe of singers and dancers absolutely memorable.The ports were beautiful combining the wonders of Eastern Canada, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces with the beautiful US ports of the eastern seaboard.
