My first experience with Holland America and generally a good cruise.
Heads up...this is your grandparents cruise. The brocuhure average age may be 55 - if you include the staff. We are active, energetic late 40's and there were very few close to our age category-accordingly all activities were targeting late 60's+ and the ship was a ghost town after 9:00pm (mercifully we are a happy couple and travel very well together). If you are looking to relax with a focus on nice leisurely dinners this was great....but lacks any entertainment/activities adults will find on RCI/Princess etc. If you have children AVOID this cruise. The kids program is an afterthought and nothing like RCI, Disney, Carnival. We are both parents and felt bad for the few families.
FOOD:
10040...smaller than advertised but worth the convenient and quiet location.
We enjoyed it but having visited the ship next time I would pay the small extra fee and get a Stern Balcony cabin on the 7th floor.
