We are leaving on our 20th Holland cruise in a few days. We are addicted to them. We love everything- the crew, the food, the service, the cabins, the entertainment, just everything. No rides or screaming kids. Just perfect for us
We've been on over a dozen cruises, and Holland America has become our favorite. The food is always excellent, and the staff are the friendliest and most professional of any cruise line we have embarked on. I like that they focus on the quality of the shore excursions, and less on go kart tracks on board. They are head and shoulders above any other line for Alaska cruises.
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.
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.
Great Video! Love Addy’s outfits. As a HAL cruiser thanks for highlighting how wonderful the ships are. Good food, live entertainment and exceptional crew.
Your formal night attire looks so nice!! Thank you for dispelling some of the "Holland is stuffy" myths. Hey, listen that "Get Out" tea stirring must've worked because me and my s/O are binge watching all yalls videos!😅😅
Hey there! Just wanted to say that I'm a first-time viewer and a new subscriber! I absolutely loved this video, and it really gave me a great sense of what to expect while on the ship. Since I'm new to cruising, I'll definitely be watching more of your videos. Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences! 🙂
I’ve been subscribed but I don’t think I’ve ever watched one of your videos! I think you guys might be my new favorite travel bloggers! Love your sense of humor!! Totally brainwashed. Haha
Just found you guys and liked and subscribed. This was a great fun video and spot on review. Love Holland America and can’t wait to board Rotterdam again in February!👍👍
My hubby and I are going on our first 21 day Mediterranean cruise on the Oosterdam in 17 days . We never sailed with HAL before. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
We love HAL and staying in the Neptune suites. Love that chocolate cream puff. We tried it on the Koningsdam in April 2024. Thanks for sharing and safe sailings
Looks like a great cruise. The bands , food, and drinks looked and sounded excellent. We are definitely booking this for early next year. You guys have the best video for this ship. Thanks for sharing. Luv yall.
I cruised for my first time on January of this year on the Niew Statendam for the MercyMe at Sea cruise and I’m hooked now! ❤ I enjoyed your video. Thank you 😊
Not the tea cup scene and the broken down bus! I hit the like button as a tear ran down my eye. 😭😂 But honestly, Holland looks very relaxing 😌🤎 thanks for another great video!
We went on our first cruise last June, on board the MS Volendam, Boston to Montreal. It was an incredible experience for us. Having an excuse to dress up isn't something we've had for almost 20 years. We had at least a few of hubby's Canadian military functions, but between being posted while I stayed back and retirement, and this cruise I had the Orange Party, two Gala Nights, and our 39th anniversary. I loved being seated, also something I haven't seen done in ages.
This vlog is phenomenal 🔥🔥Very entertaining from start to finish. Such a great balance between ship and excursions. I got a greater understanding of Holland America. Since it is A & T approved we can add this cruise line to the bucket list.
That cruise on HAL looked like a complete and utter BLAST and the two of you ARE a total blast !!! Hope to see you both on our favorite of 3 cruise lines HAL soon ! Cheers ! marcia
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.
Great stuff, I only book excursions through the cruise line If it’s more than five hours, other than that, you will save so much money if you just go with someone that’s really well respected like. Viator You should disclose if you were getting a free trip to write this review it’s a yes or no question
Thanks so much for this vlog! We are considering a Holland America cruise instead of our usual Celebrity one, just for something different. this has definitely convinced me it would be a great choice for us.
Loved the video! Thanks for providing the look into Holland America. I think I may now consider going because I love educational tours and it seems ver relaxing. New subbie here.
I love your videos and how detailed you are. Thank you so much for sharing! I have never heard of Holland America Line. I am new to cruising, the first cruise I experienced was Royal Wonder of the Seas and enjoyed myself.
Your Jedi mind tricks worked and I signed up :). Glad you both enjoyed the cruise. I did the same shore excursion in Belize. Enjoyable and relaxing experience...all around.
We are going to Aunt Arctica in December on the osterdam dam 22 days. You're on a great ship I'm it's a fun shift to be on Glad you're enjoying yourself.
I cruised with them to Alaska. It was nice but it's an experience I would appreciate a lot more now. I was only 25 when I went. Alaska was amazing though and the food was great.
OMG W e were on the SAME CRUISE as you guys!!! Left from fort lauderdale on Sun. April 7th 2024, and returned on Sat the 13th. Even saw some people we knew on the ship in your video!! Thx for sharing!! Tim & Mark 😊😊😊
I was on the MS Rotterdam last year and loved it except for the rough seas every day! I'm booked on the Eurodam to Alaska next year. Love Holland America...
First video of yours that I’ve seen i watched a few min and decided to sub just as you were stirring the coffee😂 looking forward to our first HAL cruise
You two are adorable! In Barcelona now boarding our first Holland America cruise in a couple of hours. We live in Mexico very close to Belize and have never been! It looks like you had a good time.
This is my first time watching your videos and I really enjoyed you both, great information that will help me plan a cruise, we never sailed on Holland America but thinking of going with them. I haven't looked at what other videos that you've done but just wondering if you know anything about MSC.
Good grief I was on the same cruise with you!! I thought you looked familiar. I was at the whiskey tasting too. That was my eighth HAL cruise number nine is in July. It's the best. 😊
After watching your video, I will definitely be booking on Holland America. Also I peeped the glasses you wearing Terry, how do you like them? Is the picture and video quality any good?
Always take an excursion in Belize City. We were assaulted there on our last trip there in January 2024. You were smart to skip the MDR on the night of embarkation as it is always way too disorganized. We head to the buffet that night. The reat of the MDR dinners are great.
Just find you guys, and I must say a nice fresh view from a fellow African American cruise couple. Sometimes the point of view is what I am looking for You did a fantastic job. You are such a cute couple and Addy fashion style is fabulous makes me really consider HAL. I've been loyal to Celebrity and Norwegian. The food looked scrumptious Addy I see you're taking it a lot of sun.I hope you're not neglecting the shades and sunscreenI see your taken in a lot of sun. I hope you're not neglecting the shades and sunscreen.
Except when Covid 19 was rampant we have cruised HA over the past 13 years and have sailed over three fifths of the world some voyages over 50 days. Next month we will take our fifth Hawaii circle. We will meet our cousin and friend on board. Can't wait! We call the Koningsdam the big blue canoe".
Have you cruised with Holland America Line?
Going to now!!! 😂even using my aarp😂😂😂
After this vlog considering it now!
Yes. And I love the relaxed vibe and the great selection of delicious food. Never had a bad meal.
Not yet! 😊
Love HAL. 10 cruises with them so far. Always great food and great service. Loved the video!
We are leaving on our 20th Holland cruise in a few days. We are addicted to them. We love everything- the crew, the food, the service, the cabins, the entertainment, just everything. No rides or screaming kids. Just perfect for us
Absolutely 💯
Us too! Been with them since we were 31, now we're 4 star mariners, and I wouldn't trade the quiet and elegance for anything!
We've been on over a dozen cruises, and Holland America has become our favorite. The food is always excellent, and the staff are the friendliest and most professional of any cruise line we have embarked on. I like that they focus on the quality of the shore excursions, and less on go kart tracks on board. They are head and shoulders above any other line for Alaska cruises.
Oh - and Pinnacle Grill is amazing.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing 🫶🏽
I am an old school cruiser. I appreciate when people care to get dressed up on formal nights. No jeans, t-shirts, ball caps..
Very true. I like to get dressed for dinner.
Hey people, this isn't Mickey D's. Dress to impress is not every night!
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.
Very good point!! The band was jumping almost every night 🙌🏽
This is why my husband and I are such HAL fans and always cruise with them
That’s why we said we were lied to. We had a great time.
I live in the Netherlands and love the way you say Rotterdam! Finally someone who says it right 😂 we love the Rotterdam!
Awesome 🤩 we try our best when saying other languages, we aim to not offend.
Yes! Rotterdam girl here. I love the “Bossche Bol”.
Addys makeup looks phenomenal!
Thank you so much i

It’s a vibe for sure 🤩
Looks like you 2 are having fun! Can't wait, we will be there next month!

Awesome! Thank you!
Great overview of Holland America! We plan to cruise with them later this year so this gives us good info! Thanks.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
We love the dining room but the specialty diners are gems, especially the Tamarind. Asian fusion and sushi bar are to die for. Try it!!!
Definitely for the next cruise on HAL ☺️
You two are terrific!
😍😍😍
Love Paradise Beach club in Cozumel! Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! 🤗
OK, I will definitely only book long excursions through the cruise line. I would have been stressing the entire time waiting for the bus.
It was a bit anxiety-inducing but everyone had good spirits so it just kinda was funny.
Really enjoyed your cruise vlog. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
Our pleasure!
Love your review of your cruice ,and the way you are enjoin life.love from Denmark 🇩🇰

Great to meet both of you on the tender to Belize on this Cruze. Now subscribed to your channel, great presentation of the ship and Cruze.
Awesome! Thank you!
You two cracked me up. So I am going to subscribe.
😍😍😍
I cruised with them to Alaska. It was nice but it's an experience I would appreciate a lot more now. I was only 25 when I went. Alaska was amazing though and the food was great.
Oh wow! That would be awesome to see now.
Another excellent video thanks guys! I think we are going to have to visit the Pinnacle Grill just for the lobster bisque alone.
You should! It was so good 😊 thanks for watching!
I just discovered your channel so new subscriber here. Great content aboard one of my favorite ships. Well done!
Awesome, thank you! 😊

So cool! We absolutely love Mexico 🇲🇽
Food looks amazing. Good portions. Great compilation aboard Holland America. My first look but must try.
You should!
This is my first time watching your videos and I really enjoyed you both, great information that will help me plan a cruise, we never sailed on Holland America but thinking of going with them. I haven't looked at what other videos that you've done but just wondering if you know anything about MSC.

Thanks so much
I'm saving up for my next year's cruise. I have been getting information from the 10:18 South Holland cruise, so could you talk about price.😊❤❤❤
Sure thing!
The only Cruise line we will go on😊
Really?! I’m curious, why?
Good grief I was on the same cruise with you!! I thought you looked familiar. I was at the whiskey tasting too. That was my eighth HAL cruise number nine is in July. It's the best. 😊
Oh wow 🤩
Fun video! Have you done the Alaskan cruise yet?
We did Alaska back in July.
After watching your video, I will definitely be booking on Holland America. Also I peeped the glasses you wearing Terry, how do you like them? Is the picture and video quality any good?
You should! And he absolutely loves them 🥰 pictures and videos are great quality 👍🏾 he says with enough light comparable to iPhone
Really enjoyed the cruise from pov! Thanks for sharing. I'm have to investigate Holland Cruise!
You should!
Always take an excursion in Belize City. We were assaulted there on our last trip there in January 2024.
You were smart to skip the MDR on the night of embarkation as it is always way too disorganized. We head to the buffet that night. The reat of the MDR dinners are great.
Oh that is so unfortunate for you. Hope your future travels to Belize are better.
Oh hell no….. when you two started stirring the coffee cup!😂😂😂😂
😬😬😬😬
Holland seems like a vibe! I just wanna sail for the food 😂
You should! It was so good 😊
