Background Information:
The views and opinions expressed in any review are shaped by the experiences of the person writing them. So, with that in mind, my wife and I had previously cruised on all of the mainstream cruise lines, except Holland America, plus some specialty ships. This 7-day Western Caribbean cruise was chosen on a whim as it was sailing from Tampa and we were planning a visit with family in Ocala, Florida. Having never sailed with HAL, we decided to give it a try. We are both in our 60s, physically active, retired and enjoy travel, good food and wine. We have absolutely no interest in the shipboard casino and don't particularly like shipboard broadway-type shows, preferring other shipboard shows, such as the comedian acts, etc.

Cabin Review
A757 is a window view, outside cabin on deck 4, starboard side. The cabin is roomy with a king size bed or twin arrangement, side tables, sofa, table, desk and chair, bathtub, flat-screen LCD television and DVD-player. No refrigerator. Instead of the wall mounted, anemic hair dryer, there was a 1,000 Watt hand-held hair dryer in the drawer. The only Euro-style plug that it could be used in was at the desk. The closet and drawer space far exceed our needs with about half of it going unused. We stored our bags under the bed.
