Our grandson actually asked me to write a review because he had such a great time cruising. I think he will be a future cruiser on his own one day.

Our DGS especially enjoyed the staff in Club HAL. He totally enjoyed all the time he spent with them. He also thought our cabin steward was great (Maury) as well as our waiter and assistant waiter, at least on our trip back from Seward. Tawan was our waiter and Yohanes AKA Joe. They remember he liked chocolate milk and always had it at the table when we arrived. They were exceptionally nice to him. Some other wait staff around the ship were also great with him and one (Bawa) even referred to him as his "little brother". Joe and a second Joe (the ice cream men) were also favorites.

We also thought the staff was great. Maury kept our cabin in great shape, always clean and always all the supplies we needed. He also brought us extra ice for the small ice chest we brought on board for our soda and other drinks. Nothing was too much for him. He was great!!! We have the same thoughts as our DGS about the wait staff!! Could not have been better.

Cabin Review

Cabin ver

This was our fourth cruise (all on Holland America and Celebrity) and this was the best cabin we have had. It was a stern cabin and it was beautiful.
