Holland America - It's really different! Specifically the Nieuw Statendam

There are differences between Holland America and other major cruise lines. The video is based on my experience with the Nieuw Statendam in 2024.

We had Stephanie as our cruise director on the Westerdam in 2022. She was great!

Agreed!

Holland America has been my favorite cruise line for 35 years, starting when I was 22 years old, they just have great service from all the staff

What cruise line is your favorite? As a solo cruiser 59 wondering if Holland is good for older solos.

[@shirleysjourneys9505]

I usually pick the cruise line based on the destination unless I am just wanting to try something new. I can't really speak to solo travelers since I have never traveled solo. There is another youTuber. Gary Bembridge with Tips for Travelers. He often travels solo and probably has some videos that could answer your solo question.
