We arrived in Tampa a day early and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. I can't begin to extol their virtues. They picked us up at the airport..after we settled in, we found their shuttle would take us anywhere we'd like within a certain radius and pick us back up! After the cruise, they picked us up at cruise terminal and let us hang out at the pool til time to go to plane and then they took us to the plane. Tampa was very cold the first 2 times but upon debarkation it was warm. They took us to the boat the next day as well...around 10:30 a.m.

Embarkation was smooth and easy.....I'd say no more than 15 minutes from the time we got in line til we entered our room, 625, which was ready. As usual with Holland, we had to be served at the buffet, rather than help ourselves..this goes on for the first few days of the cruise. The safety briefing was a bit tedious as room 233 never did show up.

We had late dining and the food was excellent...first couple of days it was a bit slow but once our waiters knew us, it was smooth. I found the wine steward a bit snobbish but I noted this on our departure critique. Breakfast was best in the dining room. Room service was on time and the coffee hot and juice cold. Rest of the room service food warm at best.
