Great suite, fantastic food and service by
Roger & Darla R. from United States Sailing date: Feb 2010Pros: Our Suite and Service Cons: Rough, rocking, ride...worst I have ever been on...I've cruised over 15 times!! We loved the cruise overall...we went to the Eastern Carribean in February 2010. Our suite was large, beautifully appointed, spotless and I truly loved the dressing room outside of the bathroom. The dining rooms were beautiful and our food was excellent. The entire staff was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Our only con was the fact that this was the roughest cruise we have ever endured...especially the last night when we apparently "dragged" the anchor all the way back to FL and arrived 7 hours behind schedule. It was extremely uncomfortable and was certainly not the most pleasant way to end our trip. Ship Quality

  Most Relaxing Cruise Yet! by
A Traveler from Rexburg, Idaho Sailing date: Apr 2010Pros: The Spa Pass bought on the first day Cons: Always the same, I don't like eating with other people I don't know. This trip was during Easter, and Spring Break it had over 400 children. This was not a big thing to me because I love children. There were many old people bothered by kids. They need to book away for school breaks. Ship Quality

A Wonderful Cruise by
Leslie D. from Harrison City, PA Sailing date: Mar 2010Pros: The Stateroom balcony Cons: The food at the cookout on half moon bay The ship was very beautiful and the decor was up to date and it just made you feel confortable. We loved it. Ship QualityThe ship was beautiful, the decor and the layout was great and also extremely clean
and everything on the ship was very accessibility. Dining/FoodThe food was delicious on the ship and the specialty restaurant was great but make sure you get your reservation in early. We only got in because of a cancellation. Book the first day of the cruise. Stateroom QualityClean as can be, we loved the balcony and the bed was very confortable and we were on the 8th floor, the view was beautiful. Ship Staff QualityThe Ship Staff was wonderful, so friendly and always wanted to meke sure you had everything. The room steward was great and so friendly. The waiters, we could not say enough they wanted to please.
Entertainment & ActivitiesWe went to all the shows, they were wonderful, all talented performers. The Comedy Show was the best.

Our fabulous cruise by
Dorothy M. from New Jersey Sailing date: Oct 2008Pros: Excellent cruise organization, brand new ship Cons: None We just got back from Eurodam- 3 night Bahamas cruise and we were really impressed. Excellent service, the food was outstanding. The shows were great. Beautiful silk room, pools, spas and saunas. Our stateroom was very cozy, clean with a lot of storage area.
We really like the way this ship is designed, beautiful restaurants, bars and library. Ship Quality

Cruising with HolLAND by
A Traveler from San Antonio, TX Sailing date: Sep 2008Pros: Clean, comfortable, smiling helpful staff, food was OK and plentiful. Cons: Types of activities offered, both excursions and on-board, were not as enjoyable as I would have liked. The ship was beautiful, comfortable and well run. The rooms were a good size, and the public places were beautiful. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodThe specialty restaurants were excellent, with delicious, well prepared and served beautifully. The dinners in the Rembrant Room were not very comfortable, crowded and LONG (waited until half way through dinner to get a glass of iced tea.) After the first time there, we ate in the Lido cafeteria, which was usually more comfortable. Stateroom QualityComfortable, clean, good size, very comfortable beds, temp easily controlled--over all excellent value. Ship Staff QualityRoom steward was thorough, concerned with our comfort, always accessible. We felt our belongings were safe in his hands. All the staff (with the exception of one staff member in the casino) were pleasant, smiling, always concerned with our comfort and providing our needs. The made you feel like it was a true pleasure to make our stay excellent. Entertainment & ActivitiesThe average age of the guests was about 70 yo. The activities reflected that, and there was little or nothing to do for guests who wanted something that required anything but a sedate walk. I would have liked more instructional programs, things about the areas we were going to visit (besides the shopping opportunities!) and the opportunity to MOVE.

Boston, MassachusettsWent on a tour that had little or no historical content. Saw Harvard, but would rather have seen sites connected with our American heritage. Glad we had the afternoon to explore on our own, but there wasn't much direction provided about where everything of interest was and how to get there.
Newport, Rhode IslandReally enjoyed visiting the American castles. It was interesting and well done.
Ville Saguenay, Quebec Although visiting the closed down pulp mill was interesting, driving over two hours to get there and two hours back for a 15 minute visit (no time to explore area on own) and a so-so lunch was not value added. The guide was personable, but didn't tell us very much.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaIf there is a rating lower than one, I'd use it on this visit. Went to the Bay of Fundy and Reversing Falls. Spent 4 HOURS on a bus and minutes at the sites. Lunch in the local restaurant was awful. Crammed cheek to cheek into long tables, stale biscuit, canned drink (warm), greasy cookies and no menu options. We were rushed through the meal in 15 minutes and rushed out so they could seat the next busful. And the bathroom--dirty, way too small for the number of people, long lines and the smell was memorable. The whole experience was pretty much a waste of money and time.
Quebec City, QuebecAbsolutely the best experience of the whole trip. The excursion guide was extremely knowledgeable about local customs and history. He made the one hour bus ride fly by with his patter of interesting information. The stop at the St. Anne Canyon was the best--able to walk about in the beautiful setting, see the falls, get some exercise and didn't feel at all rushed. The rest of the time to visit this beautiful and interesting city was not enough. We could have spent the whole vacation there and not been bored or run out of things to do.
Sydney, Nova ScotiaFirst interesting experience to the wine country. The tour guide, although not the somanlie that was advertised, was interesting, had activities planned and very knowledgeable about the area. The winery tours were great.
Don't Miss: Wineries. Saint John, New BrunswickWaste of time. Nothing very interesting to do. Although a pretty port, could have passed this one up without much loss.
