My husband and I are avid cruisers in our late 40's. This is our first trip on the Holland America line. We chose this because of the dates of travel since we wanted to go away over New Years and because the price was reasonable. We chose the 7 day voyage of is cruise. We have been to all of the ports before, except HAL's island and all were nice. We have sailed on Princess, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Azamara, Norwegian, and Disney. This ship reminds us most of Princess. It was very elegant and did skew to older people. We were in the minority when it came to age. There was a good mix of passengers from all over speaking many languages. Some of the reviews I read were not that great and I cannot understand why. This is one of the best cruises we've taken. Everything was excellent.

Room: We chose an inside cabin to keep costs down and we spend very little time in our room anyway. The cabin was laid out nicely. The most impressive thing was the amount of storage space we had. Also, the shower was very large, bigger than any we've had before and even large enough for 2 people. The bed was really comfortable and we had a large tv that had tons of movies all for free.

Service: The service everywhere was excellent. We got a hello from every crew member we passed. Our cabin steward was excellent, came to introduce himself and we saw him frequently and he always addressed us by name. Our room was cleaned at least twice a day and we got chocolates and towel animals every night. The service in the main dining room and the lido buffet was top notch. We had open seating so we had different servers each night and all were excellent, helpful and friendly. So service everywhere was top notch. Everyone went out of their way to greet you and make you feel at home.

A great inside cabin. Very roomy with lots of storage space and a big shower.

Port Reviews

Half Moon Cay

Just relaxed on the island and had a fun day.

Cozumel

We went on our own to Paradise Beach about 6 miles away from port and had a great day there using their pool and beach. Great food and inexpensive to spend the day having fun in the sun.

Key West

We've been here before so we just walked around Duval Street in some of the shops and stores. It was a little chilly and overcast this day.
