I am new to Holland America. I am looking for a cruise line that offer good value for your money. I had never been on a Carabean cruise; what a way to get a feel for these small paradises. Our favorite islands were St-Lucia, Dominica, Barbados and Aruba. The beach at half-moon bay is unbelievable.
We really enjoyed our 21 days cruise (2 back to back cruises). This brand new vessel is nicely decorated and easy to figure out. The theme of the decoration is 'musique'. Overall, the food was very good with a few meals just OK. We never had to wait very long at the main dining room. Our favorite restaurant were Tamarind and Rudi Sel de Mer.
There is many bars on the vessel and it was easy to get a drink; even getting a beer and white wine for our room to enjoy on our beatiful AFT balcony.
The cabin was functional, bright and simple. The AFT balcony was great. The bathroom is small.
