Sail Date: Aug 2014
Cabin: Large Ocean-View Stateroom

We were interested in the Canadian itinerary, and had heard that Holland is a more elegant line than some others. We experienced a few nice aspects, but were surprised by other discoveries.

The library on board is massive, and we signed out some books right away. I’ve never seen so many passengers reading on other ships, and we like books, so that was nice.

The hot tubs close at 9pm. Um, what? As a previous review mentioned, the hallways were empty at night, and perhaps the majority of passengers don’t want to sit in a hot tub "late" at night, but for us, that closing time seemed bizarre.

Cabin Review

Large Ocean-View Stateroom

Regular cabin walls permit the sound of neighbor’s TV and drawers closing to be heard. Please, add some soundproofing! I don’t remember hearing the neighbors on other cruise lines. The stateroom attendant was great, and we loved the towel animals. Be aware if you are a light sleeper that cabins on deck 5 are under the walking area on deck 6. This is not a problem at all times, but if someone is wearing shoes with hard soles or dragging a suitcase, you can hear it very clearly.
