We took the 10 day Caribbean Cruise on MS Maasdam on April 7, 2015. This was our first cruise on Holland America. I researched Holland America and knew it would be an older crowd. There were many things I liked about the cruise:
1. Not being hassled by photographers and bar people were two great advantages.
2. Service was excellent. The crew was wonderful. They could remember your name almost immediately.
Great location on ship.
Went on our own to Palm Court Gardens. A wonderful small hotel with restaurant, pool, and umbrellas and loungers. Booked it online at a very reasonable rate. Taxi was $10 US each way. A great way to spend the day if you don't want to tour or shop.
Can't say enough about how wonderful the beach is here. They have spend a lot of money on this little island and it really shows. The bottom of the beach does not have one rock on it. They must have pumped the white sand in and it is kept very clean. You could see fish with the naked eye. What a treat!!!
