Travelled with my husband on Holland America for the first time, having cruised Carnival, Costa and Royal Caribbean on previous cruises.
Having read many negative reviews about this ship before departure, I was very nervous about the trip. There was no need!! What a fabulous ship. We found it to be in a wonderful condition and not "worn" as previous reviewers had described it. The decor was very tasteful and I loved the colours.
The service in the dining room was very efficient, although I have to say that the food was not as good as on the other cruise ships we have been on. That is the only bad thing I can find to say about the whole trip.
