Seattle to the Mexican Riviera Holland America Line Cruise Reviews

Holland America use to have the best service and food that you could want. It has been downgraded so much it is sad. Now only the service remains a plus.

After several excursions on small ships, I was somewhat apprehensive about a large ship so I ordered an electric scooter from Scootaway. I have limitations in walking distances, and the electric ...

My wife and I booked a balcony stateroom on deck 6. This was our first cruise with Holland America and our 7th overall.
