Absolutely superb experience with Holland America. Our party included Husband/Wife/Daughters 14/12/10 years old.
Highlights: Service, Dining, Entertainment, Shore Excursions, Cruise directors staff, daily activities...unbelievable good time and worth every penny. Our children loved it...although they chose to stick together with us and participate in family activities (pool, sailing, snorkel, shuffleboard, games, sports etc). Overall, Holland America lived up to its reputation with 5 stars.
Area for improvement: Half Moon Cay, St. Maarten, Antigua all a 10+. St. Thomas we found to be a dump...drive across island to Megan's beach...pathetic, filthy, cars on jacks, trash everywhere. All in all though, I would go on the same cruise but stay on the ship that day.
