Having sailed numerous times (over 200 days) on Holland america I think I can safely say they have dropped from a premier cruise line to a mediocre line. Upon arriving I was told that I was only a 3 star Mariner and I could wait with everyone else. Nice remark. I think I saw beef once on the 10 days. The line ha s changed over to pork, lamb, chicken and turkey. It does get old the same meats. They also pushed the Caribbean foods this is not my bad.

As for the shows perhaps they need a new supplier. The two comedians were not that funny....The ships singers I did care for though they had great voices , you can't do a rock in roll show with operatic voice. The best show was the BB King. As for the ports we pulled into Bonnaire on a national holiday and everything was closed except for street vendors. In the ports of Panama and Costa Rico you did not dare go into town and they told you that. All tours were into the jungle to see the wild life. Not really my cup of tea. On the good side the crew (stewards and bar keeps) worked hard taking care of you
