I have sailed with this company 4 times now. Each and every time I have not been disappointed. All the amenities are first class. If you enjoy a more mature and adult crowd this is the ship for you.
Pros: Superb service all the way around . You will always be impressed with Holland America
Cons: Smoking in the casino
