MDH and I have been on more than 10 Celebrity cruises but began to feel like we were no longer the preferred demographic for Celebrity (music and entertainment were taking on an "edgier vibe"). We had been eyeing Holland America for a while but were reluctant to take the leap because of their smoking policy and because we had invested so much into Celebrity. When Holland America banned smoking on the verandas we decided to give it a go. We are so glad we did!!!!

There is so much to be said but in short...the cruise was fabulous.

WHAT WE LOVED:

Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom

Pretty comparable to veranda cabin on other lines. Though we can say that we liked the handheld shower head and tub/shower combo as it gave more room to usually very cramped space. Would have liked more drawer space thought plenty of shelf and hanging space. Veranda was decent sized and appreciated the reclining chairs and footrests. Would have liked a larger and taller table so that breakfast could be consumed on the veranda.
