This cruise was excellent right from the start! This was a family get together, siblings and their spouses. Holland America was incredible, no lines to check in. Our cabin was ready immediately when we boarded at 12 noon. Our cabin was spotless ! Food really good, we have been on a lot of different cruise lines. Hats off to the chef on this ship he has great tatse!!! Lobster tails, cooked to perfection. Our family couldn't stop talking about the service and food. Only negative , during our cruise entertainment lacking on a few days. BB King night club, you ROCK. Main stage magician amazing, comic great ! Other nights where average, dancers, singers on stage. Still highly recommend this ship and staff, we had an amazing cruise!!!! The service staff, check in, steward, bartenders, cooks, everyone thank you for your excellent service. Keep setting the standard for others to emulate!
