7 days were all we had for a cruise. We love Holland America so this cruise fit the bill. The itinerary really didn’t have anything to do with the decision.
Embarkation was quick and efficient. Our room was ready when we arrived at 11:30. We were able to drop our carry ons and get the cruise started with a nice lunch in the dining room.
Sail Away was nice with lots of waiters to take drink orders and pass hors d’oeuvres. Unfortunately there were not many places to sit so it was a lot of standing.
The cabin was clean and had just enough room for three adults but not more. There was enough room for three on the balcony as the cabin steward moved a chair from the room out there. The bathroom was spacious. The shower alternated between hot and cold which took some getting used to.
