Previous Holland cruises were fantastic with excellent food and service. We explored other lines and wanted to return to the excellence that was Holland. Unfortunately this cruise was hit and miss.... food in the dining room was not Holland quality forcing us to have to pay up for specialty restaurants to get good food. Some of the staff were the excellence of old Holland days but there were many who were not. In my opinion Holland is just not the same. The experience started badly when embarkation took 2 hours standing in the sun outside with not even a hello or were sorry for the wait. We missed lunch because of this. Once on board we found the ship's decor to be less elegant but still clean. The best staff were in the rolling stone's rock room and the band was very good. The best food on the ship was in Sel De Mar! We ate there 3 times. Also the ports were great and were the best part of this cruise!
Cabins were smaller than on other ships we've sailed but we're nice overall ages the stewards were very good.
Went to pirates in paradise bar umbrellas and chairs$10
Turner's beach was beautiful and Mr. Turner was a great guy but his bar staff were rude and drinks were very expensive.
Secret harbor was lovely and not crowded with great snorkeling. The sunset grill was dirty and the staff were not friendly.
Wonderful island! Get the grilled lobster tail is totally worth the money!
