We embarked on our 7-day cruise out of Port Everglades on 10/28/2006. We have been on 27 cruises, but this was our first cruise with Holland America. We thought we were saving the best for last! This cruise was very disappointing.
Embarkation was very smooth. We arrived about 1 pm. We had filled out the precruise forms via the internet and were on-board within 15 mins. However, since the cabins are not ready until 1:30 we were directed to the Lido deck and the buffet style lunch.
The food was excellent for the entire cruise. Much praise for the chefs; however that was about it for the praise.
