This was our third cruise with Holland America. I find the service, and accommodations very good.

For a vegetarian, eating can be a challenge on Holland America. The menu presents vegetarian options that include chicken, and the chefs have offered me vegetables in aspic and jello as a dessert. They are unknowledgeable about what constitutes vegetarian and vegan food. My inability to digest most dairy products made matters worse for me. My family, with no dietary restrictions, liked the food a lot.

Our adjoining rooms were nice, with comfortable beds and enough closet space for a week of clothes. We spent virtually no time watching the LCD TV with DVD player. Our room was directly under the nightclub, so we heard loud thumping until 2am. They offered to move us (with an upgrade), but we decided to stay put, with earplugs for one of us.

Large Ocean-View Stateroom

Cabin C

We were in 1046 and 1050. 1050 must be located directly under a big speaker in the Northern Lights nightclub because we heard loud thumping until 2am each night. Otherwise, the rooms were fine, with excellent service. Our room was stocked with fruit every day. I found the beds especially comfortable. The bathroom was fine. The storage was adequate for a week's clothes.
