We had a wonderful time on our cruise. The staff was phenomenal, the food was delicious. The only main criticism is that for such a large ship and the number of people, there were not enough working elevators at any given time. One elevator and occasionally, two elevators were out of service at the different times causing an extended waits for extremely crowded elevators. My wife and I relied on taking ANY elevator, whether we wanted to go up or down just to be on one instead of waiting an inordinate amount of time for the preferred elevator to arrive.

Yay for pickleball courts, although they were quite busy. Food was exceptional as were the staterooms. Disliked walking through the casino on the way to dinner. Loved hearing the cruise director and his pronounciation of towns for excursions. Liked the team trivia during happy hour and met there most days to play and have a cocktail. A very enjoyable trip.

The cruise was good and I would recommend it for those destinations. The average age was over 60, which was good because there were no rowdy crowds.

Disappointed that 1 internet package was not for all devices. Unless you were willing to switch all time. Irritating to me. Needed more than 1 time to learn about ports. Needed am and pm.

This was our tenth sailing with HAL and third on a Rotterdam (current & 2 on VR-O). It was very noticeable that HAL has made numerous cutbacks while adding surcharges in all dining venues. There was no Lincoln Center ever presented even though in its listed as a venue. Before we ever boarded the ship, we had three port changes due to "operational" issues. We would not have booked the cruise with the revised ports. While on board, we had another port change that was out of the control of HAL but dictated by Panama due to demonstrations in Colon. Safety was HAL's priority!!! HAL's Mariner program has two sections, stars that you get by spending more and moves you up the star level. The there is a Medallion program that is dedicated to ACTUAL sailing days not money spent. HAL decided that Bronze medallion recipients were no long worthy to be invited to the Medallion presentation. The bronze medallions are now delivered to your room, put on your bed or handed to you by your room steward. What a slap in the face. Medallions were returned to guest services since they don't mean anything. Our stateroom had lots of storage and comfortable. Great shower.

All in all it was a wonderful vacation experience. We love sailing with HAL! In fact we've already booked our next adventure to Asia with Holland America.

Crew on board had exhibited 100% effort to keep the ship environment sparkling clean and making sure operations throughout the ship are running smoothly excursions were run super smoothly including crews on board’s assistance as well as the local tour company. ( the prices were very much on the high side , but so expect that in Norway and Iceland . Very enjoyable three weeks Thank you Holland America
