Chose this cruise because we wanted to get away for the holidays and have enjoyed New Years cruises in the past.
Also, we wanted to try the new Rotterdam and a larger Holland America ship.
We had mixed feelings at the end:
Small for a suite, but a beautiful wrap-around deck made up for it. The door to the deck is VERY heavy - and closes rapidly. Ouch - look out for crushed feet/legs. You will need muscles for that door!
Beautifully appointed, and exceptionally clean.
