A Curate’s Egg
Colin Tucker | September 16, 2018 | Holland America Line | Zaandam
Firstly the good bits; the food was excellent with a huge choice. The service was also top class & the vast majority of staff went the extra mile to please the customers. The cabins were impeccably clean & well furnished with some good extra touches like the binoculars. The captain kept us updated & we particulary enjoyed his Q& A session.
Now the not so good bits. All the extras were by UK standards very expensive. Over £10.00 for a glass of wine does seem excessive & the excursions were numbingley expensive, & sometimes the content was poor. The entertainment when available was good but too short. The resident musical entertainment was limited and relative.
All that said we had an excellent cruise and a great time.
