Third Holland America cruise, second on this ship. We were more impressed this time then on our first cruise on Nieuw Statendam. The Pinnacle dinner was superb, and the "regular" food options were many and of very fine quality. My wife and I both felt the food was improved from the year before. The options were plentiful and there was not one item we would not get again. The stewards we had were friendly and provided excellent service--the room and bathroom were always clean and fresh. All the staff were helpful, smiled, and greeted you. This was a relaxing and refreshing cruise experience.
Pros: Staff friendly and helpful, cleanliness, safety, quality of food, organization
Cons: The Navigator app needs attention. The tabs are too small and non-contrasting colors making it difficult to read
