We were booked on this cruise as a gift from our parents to celebrate a milestone birthday. We really have no complaints about anything - all was great. Good food, good service, great ports, clean ship and cabins. The only negative is the activities...we felt there could have been less lectures and more fun things to do. Perhaps Holland America is just not the right cruise line for us....it is a very mature crowd (I would say the mean age was 70-72). Although we were celebrating my 60th - we just needed more to do. We like to be more active and participate in more events like bingo (not super expensive bingo like they had on the ship), Zumba, scavenger hunt, activities around the pool - both the mid and aft pool. We were bored on the ship. The photo gallery was quite disorganized. They don't print the photos and ours were not coming up on the "navigator" app. We approached them three times and on the fourth time we had to go through all the ship photos taken on Gala nights to find ours and have them uploaded to Navigator app. Then we placed an order. We went to collect them on the last night and they didn't have them. My husband had to track them down at 11pm at night on the last night - which meant we couldn't pack them away as the cases were already picked up. Apparently they were having system problems. The pics are ok...background issues so they don't appear very professional.

Cabin Review

Verandah Stateroom

Cabin VC

Cabin was clean, bed on one side comfortable - husband's side was lumpy. Lots of storage space. Good sized verandah. Toilet placement is odd...you have to sit a bit side saddle.
