We chose this cruise as friends took it last year and really liked it. I cruised with my parents whom did not want to take this trip by themselves; they are in their 70's, I am in my early 50's. I have cruised in the past with Celebrity and this is my first Holland America cruise so wasn't sure what to expect.
The ship was always very clean and all of the staff was very friendly! We were on deck 7 Forward cabin 7014. Our stewards were wonderful; always friendly and very service oriented.
We enjoyed watching the Mexican Embassadors performances several times during the cruise. They sang, danced, gave a few talks and gave dance lessons, it was very fun!
The cabin was great and had plenty of storage. I was surprised to see a bathtub in our bathroom, have always had a shower. As this cabin is toward the front of the ship, you do feel the motion a tad more than midship, however it was not an issue at all. Overall a great cabin!
