A lovely ship, not too big. The staff were wonderful.
We had very good weather for the time of the year and the ports visited were very interesting
The cabins on the ship would benefit from having walk in showers instead of baths.

We had a lovely holiday, made possible by your exception staff. The food was amazing and so much choice. We enjoyed some of the shows, particularly Tom Milner. We also enjoyed the comedian and the singer at the end of the cruise Lindsey Hamilton. The band in Rolling Stones were brilliant and so was the band that played in the Ocean bar that also backed Tom Milner. A big thank you to Villie, Jenny and Andrew in the Rolling Stones lounge who went out of their way to make our holiday feel special.
Our only negatives are the fact that your app does not keep track of how many drinks you have used from your allowance and this caused a few issues of incorrect charges but by far the biggest issue was the noise from the lifts. We were 4 cabins down from the aft lifts and every time one arrived, it made a loud binging noise. We feel that the loud bell was unnecessary and spoilt what would have been a perfect holiday. I did speak to guest services but nothing could be done. Embarkation and disembarkation was very good but the lack of information from Holland America about the Greek strike caused unnecessary worry.

This port of call is also great for Granada, an equally fascinating city famed for its grand medieval architecture and mountain backdrop.
Things to do in Granada (Malaga):
The Alhambra
Found in Granada, the Alhambra is one of the world’s most famous examples of Islamic architecture; a sprawling palace and fortress complex dating back to the 13th century, this incredible landmark was begun by Muhammad I Ibn al-Ahmar, the first Nasrid emir, and built upon by other prominent figures throughout the next several-hundred years. Now a major tourist attraction and UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Alhambra sits on an outcrop of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and affords visitors a breathtaking view of the region.
La Manquita
The Cathedral of Malaga, which is known popularly as La Manquita due to the unfinished state of sections of this structure, is a Roman Catholic church dating back to the 16th century. Within, you’ll find a series of impressive artworks from the 18th and 19th centuries, stunning stain-glass windows, and breathtaking baroque-style interiors. An incredible example of Renaissance architecture, this is one sight not to be missed.
Alcazaba Fortress
Overlooking Malaga, the Alcazaba is a palatial fortification built and developed from the 10th to the 15th century and one of the best-preserved fortifications from the Al-Andalus. In fact, this was actually a prototype structure for military architecture of the time, featuring double walls and significant entry fortifications. You’ll also find remnants of a Roman theatre here, dating back to the first century – further signifying the rich history of the area where the fortress stands.
