We chose this cruise for convenience of the port. My husband had a course in Orlando on January 12 and 13, so we quickly drove to Tampa when his class finished and boarded by 2:00.
This is the smallest ship that we have been on, but it offered the delicious food that Holland America is known for and that we enjoy.
Our ports were Key West, Puerto Rico, St Thomas, Antigua, St Lucia, Curacao, Aruba, and Grand Cayman. Our weather was fantastic and each port had something to offer.
Our inside cabin had adequate storage and a comfy bed. There is only one electrical outlet located at the desk area. There is no fridge, but our trusty cabin stewards, Hendra and Ita, made sure that we had fresh ice twice a day. We had various food smells in our room at random times, but the staff were attentive to get the ventilation taken care of! We did hear/feel engine sounds, but we got used to them and slept well. Our room was clean and we were spoiled by our gracious staff!
