Love HAL. 10 cruises with them so far. Always great food and great service. Loved the video!
The fact that Holland had a “live” band is a PLUS for me. Other cruise lines are depending too much on the DJs and their SET PLAYLIST.
@AddyandTerry
Ай бұрын
Very good point!! The band was jumping almost every night 🙌🏽
Looks like you enjoyed yourselves. We did our first HAL cruise in 2015 and are now waiting for our 4 star mariner status. We have had nothing but good times onboard. Two hard working people that the minute we board are treated like royalty. We love them, they love us. Those crew members go above and beyond every hour.
I am an old school cruiser. I appreciate when people care to get dressed up on formal nights. No jeans, t-shirts, ball caps..
@AddyandTerry
Ай бұрын
Very true. I like to get dressed for dinner.
We just did our first HAL cruise to Alaska~and loved it! Y"all nailed the vibe of the ship very well. The food, the service, the "classy but fun" vibe are apparent. BB Kings is the best! OTOH, yeah~it skews a bit older. But people are there to relax and enjoy themselves; if you cruise Holland and say you were bored...either you didn't explore the ship or you likely need to stay with the Party Hearty cruise lines.

Subscribed: I enjoyed your energy and descriptions of everything. It looked like a fantastic journey & adventure. The shore excursion to the Mayan ruins looked awesome. I agree about booking excursions thru the cruise line, just for that kind of mishap. The bartenders fixing your smokey drink were having way too much fun. -- I've been on 10 HAL cruises already with another coming up. They have always done us right.
The tea cup worked because I forgot to hit thumbs up. Done 😂

We really only book through the cruise line on excursions that we KNOW have a possibility of running late like seeing the ruins. If it is a short 2-3 hour excursion, we book local.

Glad to see such. A nice time had on Holland. If you booked through the cruise line They will wait but only w/in a reasonable amount of time. If it has to leave they will make sure you get to the next port of call and rejoin the ship. Don’t want folks mad if it happens to them and the ship has left!
