My hushand and I went on the 28 days cruise from San Diego to Fort Lauderdale and back. in the first night I found out right away that the Night live on the boat is dead. I would love to go back to Holland America Line when they stop treating us like old people who want to live in the passed. I wish to dance all night long to new hits at the Crow's Nest. We live in 2010, why do they came up with the idea that we like to dance to old music. Too much 60's,70's,80's, for 28 days, every day the same beat. We requested many time to DJ Steve at the Crow's Nest to play something else that we wanted to dance to; But he didn't play the music for the people who are danceing. He always plays a long disco song and disappear from the DJ boot, seem He doen't like his job or play the music that guess requested. Even when the dance floor is empty, he just keep playing the same old music!!! But on shipcrew's night's out, he plays all the music that the crew want to dance to. That must be their polices to keep the guests so bored that they have to go to their rooms early so the staff can rest! According to DJ Steve, he is not allow to change the schedule of the program music; only the main office in Seattle can do that. Also every thing finish at midnight through out the whole ship. At Crow 's Nest. They just stop and kick us out! Only when other crew membert is there then they close later (officers' Night). So ,if you like to have fun, don,t go with any of the SeniorDam ships.

Holland America' ships should rename as Senior-dam or Elderly-dam,,. If you do not like to dance and go to bed early. Senior-dam is the perfect cruise line for you. At 12AM everything is close. You have no choice. Senior-dam is dead.

Dinner took more than two hours to serve. Everything is so slow. My husband and I at 60 and 50 years old and we love to dance every night especially while we are on vacation. The music at the disco is always 60's, 70's,or 80's.... every night the same music...SUCKS!!!
