We love sailing with Holland America and as always we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. There were some minor issues with the cabin (the mat in front of the verandah doors was curled up at the edges and caused a few minor trips, seal round the door needed reapplying as the wind whistled through the doors, sealant round the bath was cracked and peeling) so some updating would be of benefit). The crew as always were excellent, always smiling, friendly and polite. The captain stood out as he gave fascinating talks, updates and his sense of humour was fabulous! The food in the dining room was delicious! Well thought out menus reflecting the local cuisines and cooked to perfection! The onboard entertainment was rather repetitive but we enjoyed the dance troupe, Hyperion Knight was exceptional and the comedian made us laugh throughout his performance.
