Boarding went quickly and there wasn't many lines which made us happy. So onboard we went and headed to the buffet. We have cruised many times with Celebrity and Royal Caribbean and we have to say that the Ryndam food was the best that we have had. The desserts we didn't care for though as much. We had an inside cabin and it was quite spacious and had enough space for all of our things. We rarely stay in our room except to sleep. Our cabin stewards were wonderfull and answered all of our requests. He even made towel animals on our bed a first for us on a cruise. We had main dining has we enjoy meeting with new people and we did meet another nice couple from Texas and had a lot of laughs. Now we have always heard that Holland America is only for older people so that is what we expected to see. We are in our 50's but we found alot of people onboard around our age. There were several older seniors but so many were so nice to talk to and we had so many good conversations. The entertainment was okay but nothing that great. The ports were good and we especially liked sailing in Puerto Vallarta. So overall a good cruise and we were quite surprised at how much we enjoyed it. We will travel with Holland America again. ]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:10:02 -0500
