We chose this cruise to try a different cruise line and because it went to the area we wanted to visit. Disappointed. We had cruised with Royal Caribbean in the past so that is what we had to compare this trip with. Royal Caribbean is like the Hilton and Holland America is like the Motel 6. Here is my breakdown:
Room: much nicer than Royal Caribbean. Nice window and larger bathroom.
Children: although they have a designated play area, there is no pool there so they are allowed to swim in the adult pools = cannon balls, etc
The cabin was the only nice part of the cruise.
