We just got off holland American zandaam, buenos aires to val parasol. My second cruise. First. One carnival lots of kids running up and down even over night.
Holland was great. Professional operations. Captain took us into straights of Magellan and back out to Atlantic so we could go around the cape.
Plenty to do on board and some good ports and shore excursions. Service provided by Indonesians and Filipinos mostly. Great job and friendly people. My wife is Filipino and she must have know half the crew by voyage end.
Many ways to spend money on board or you can eat and do free activities to minimize costs.
I’m not a big cruise guy, but if I go again I’ll pick holland America.
Bon voyage.
Ps I was impressed by measures to avoid gastrointestinal viruses.
Auto hand washers at each dining room.
We didn’t help ourselves at buffet for 48 hours. Everything handed to us.
Antibacterial hand cleaner everywhere.
Railings etc bring cleaned constantly.
I like a cabin with window. On this trip saw glaciers and snow-capped mountains from rom. Picked cabin on right side of ship for more land views.
Used wifi daily but not in cabin. Had to go to library and nearby to get good connection.
