Negative feed back. to many older people, average age around 70, no out side pool games, outside lights that string over the pool deck were on 2 times during the cruise only while at port. you should have food on lido deck at all times during the day, the room toilet only worked about 70% of cruise. your main show room is to small, the life boat drill was a joke, workers doing maintenance during breakfast time and making load noise out by the rear pool area while trying to enjoy breakfast, rust showing on painted areas and missing tiles and wood around the rear pool area showing allot of rear. you had a area by the pool in the rear for a band or entertainment never used except when we first afternoon when we were leaving port in san diego. the large screen over the rear pool area was missing parts or messed up and played the same thing over and over except to show a football game, your screen needs to be replace with a new one. level 6 walking area was closed off for maintenance 2 or 3 of the six days for walking in the morning. waiting in line for ice cream and it came time to be served and the lady closed the lid and said we are closed 5pm and walked away (really). the main pool area enclosure was closed in the evening and made it very warm and uncomfortable for playing table tennis or anything else like playing the outdoor chess game.

Positive feed back. crew was very nice and helpful in all areas of the ship except for the ice cream server. food was very good and you had a great variety. inside of ship was very clean and always smelled good except near the casino area (bad cigarette smoke odor) this was my 10th cruise, 1st one with Holland America, I think it will be my last, sorry, there are better ships out there.

Things to make a better cruise!
