We had a wonderful time on Holland America cruise line - would recommend this liner to 40+ age group. The staff were wonderful in all areas of the ship. The photos are somewhat pricey and the black and white photos were outrageous at $450 starting price. Our room had an on and off stale smell of wet cardboard. Our cabin stewards were very friendly, remembered our names, and kept our room clean and orderly. The Lido buffet staff were friendly as well and went out of their way to make your dining experience wonderful. The tables, chairs, and floors were always clean - which isn't an easy task with a full ship. The food was fantastic at every meal and they offered a variety to choose from. The entertainment we attended was good. Smoking is kept to a small area on the 9th level / next to the adult pool area. Casino is small, but worked for us. A little downside was getting off the ship, a little disorganized, but didn't take too long to exit. I would strongly suggest NOT PARKING at the midport parking garage. It took us almost 2 hours to get out of the garage - you had to pay when exiting. I tried calling the number on the parking ticket and they were rude and hung up on me twice. They said a manger was on-site and i should go find her.
