Sail Date: Mar 2017

We like to go as a family on a cruise during this week because it is our Spring Break back home and all of us are off work and school for the week. This was our 7th cruise on Holland America and our 30th overall. We have also sailed on (Carnival, Princess, RCI, MSC and Costa.) This cruise sailed to Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Maarten and Half Moon Cay. This cruise had a mixture of passengers of all ages. This probably had something do to with the fact that Canada and some states in the US have spring break during the dates we sailed.

Embarkation – Quick and easy. We were onboard by 12:00 and our room was ready shortly after.

Ship – The ship is pretty and classy. The ship was clean and well-maintained for its age.

Port Reviews

Half Moon Cay

Beautiful beach. Was happy that the ship did not miss it.

St. Maarten

Stayed at the beach close to the ferry dock. Always a nice beach but has changed since our last visit.

San Juan

Toured around the city. Went to the Both forts and toured around those.

Grand Turk

Went to the Margaratia Ville pool area and snorkled in the ocean near by.

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Same as always. There were 7 mega-ships in port that day but embarkation was quick and stress free. We were on the ship by 12:00.
