Additional details
This was our 9th cruise, the second on Holland America, 1 on Royal Caribbean, 1 on Celebrity and 5 on Carnival. We are retired and 73 and 74 years of age (I married an older woman). We drove to Ft. Lauderdale so I can't provide much info on airline connections or lodging.
WEBSITE First, Holland America needs to get up to speed with Carnival and Princess and update their website. It should be easier to navigate and contain more basic info, like directions to the pier, parking and up dated info on your personal booking.
PARKING Holland America provided a coupon for 1 free day of parking at Park n Fly and I called them to find that they were a few miles from the pier, parking was $12.00 per day, and shuttle service was provided. For what I thought was only $12.00 more we opted to park at the pier, only to find out on check out that parking there was $15.00 per day. This is the kind of info the website should include.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom
Our location was great, with the Spa above us. Overall the room was smaller than Carnival, another foot in width would allow for a different configuration of the furniture so you wouldn't be bumping into things. All in all there was enough space for clothing, luggage, etc.
