My husband of thirty-six years and myself both aged in our mid fifties, medium health, non-smokers, and light drinkers. This is our third cruise and we live in Europe although we are American's.

Unfortunately we had our flight arrangements with British Airways and they would not tell if they would be striking or not so we did not know until the last minute making us leave a day early using our leave days and spent $300 on a room by the Rome airport with only basic amenities. We rode their shuttle to the airport and with the help of another couple we finally found where Holland America was picking people up at the airport. They only had one paper sign taped to the back of a wide cement column. This was not a very warm welcoming committee let me tell you. Then the long bus ride to the ship on a very tight fitting bus so when the woman in front of me put her seat back it crushed my knees. I felt bad for her since she just got off the transatlantic flight.

We had to wait in a line to board because all the Deluxe Suites were taken when we booked this cruise; you get head of the line privileges in a suite. We then had our photo taken with some showgirls then ID pass photo and moved right along to our prepared room.
