This was my first time on Holland America. The cruise director and his staff were the best that I have had ever. Craig (the cruise director) was wonderful, Troy (the Bingo Boy), could have called better numbers but he help the 52 year old man feel like he was 25 again. Candice (Cotton Candy), her smile was always there and she was an excellent DJ that week (she was a little slow on blow darts though). Peter, Rowan and Lindsey added their own flares to this group to make this cruise very enjoyable.

If you are going to be cruising this spring and summer of '05 make sure you go up to Troy and give him a blow dart from me (he must fall down where ever you blow dart him). Let him know you heard it from Dickie. Now to the not so good, I was expecting the food to be better is not as good as any cruise line in the category but it was lacking taste and substance. My room was a little warm and the air conditioning did not seem to be putting out like it should. The overall atmosphere of the ship was great and she will be making a much needed visit to the shipyards in April '05.

This was also my first small ship since 1979 and that made for a nice cruise. Also, I would like to commend Carla from the purser's office. I had a group of 74 onboard and the bus driver left two pieces of luggage on the bus. She helped me contact the bus company to have those bags forwarded to our first port of call and help me avoid a disaster for two of my guest. Great job Carla! I found the shore excursion personnel to be not so nice, just not as friendly as they could be towards the guest. The room steward and dining room steward were great and very helpful throughout the cruise.
