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!
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 🙌🏽
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.
Thank you and well said my friend 😁
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.
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.
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.
I like these guys! They seem to enjoy themselves. ❤😊❤
Thanks for watching 🤗🤗
Addys makeup looks phenomenal!
Thank you so much i
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.
The tea cup worked because I forgot to hit thumbs up. Done 😂
😂😂😂
Stir that coffee yall😂😂😂 this was so good! Thanks for sharing. I used to sell Holland cruises back in the day!❤
Really?! That’s awesome
Enjoyed the premiere! Thanks for the look inside your Holland America Line experience!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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 😊😊😊
Paradise Beach was amazing!! We took our 4yr old and we LOVED it. More of a family fun/relaxing vibe than party vibe!! We will DEFINITELY return!!
It’s a vibe for sure 🤩
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
The quality of your videos are great! Addy I love your looks!
Thank you so much!! 😊
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!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😂
Great overview of Holland America! We plan to cruise with them later this year so this gives us good info! Thanks.
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
First time seeing your channel. Really enjoyed it. New subscriber.
Welcome aboard! 🤗🤗
NICE! Thanks for this Vlog! Very informative. I've been wanting to try something different. I just love you guys,
Awwww thanks so much 🤗🤗🤗
This was done beautifully! Looks like a great time on Holland!
Thank you so much!
THIS LOOKED LIKE A GREAT CRUISE TO ME. THE SEASONED CRUISERS WERE HAVING A BALL!! LOL!!!
Oh yeah. They knew how to party 🤗
Great experience was had. They are definitely on my list. Thanks for sharing 🤗
You’re welcome 😊
You guys are great!
Terry, great job editing! This was such a fun vlog!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Going on our 2nd Holland cruise to Alaska. I'm not sure we would be comfortable anywhere else. We are in our 70's and love the relaxed atmosphere without all the chaos of large crowds. Everything we perfection. Only thing changing is the ship....first time the Noordam, next May the Nieuw Amsterdam!!!!
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.
Love Paradise Beach club in Cozumel! Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! 🤗
Really enjoyed your cruise vlog. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤
Our pleasure!
What an amazing vlog, I loved the hypnotic tea and coffee stir. Love the paradise beach. Also, I liked how you edited this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Great vlog, this was a really good time.
Glad you enjoyed it
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.
Go for it! And thanks so much for subscribing 🥰🥰
Wow ..who knew..Adie & Terry knew ..I’m impressed and ion even there ❤
Thank so much!
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.
Hope you enjoy it! Definitely give it a shot.
@@AddyandTerry We will contact you when we are ready to book 👍
Catching the replay!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Let me just give the Clothesline Bacon a shout out!! Definitely an elevated experience!
Yeah I’m going on Holland Am!
Food looks amazing. Good portions. Great compilation aboard Holland America. My first look but must try.
You should!
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.
Thanks for watching! We were pleasantly surprised ☺️
Loving the music backdrop! Amazing view!
Thanks so much!
That teacup stir!! 🙃

@Addy, I have the same yellow and lavender dress! Love it!
So cool! You have great taste darling 🤗

😂😂😂 so it worked
Really enjoyed the cruise from pov! Thanks for sharing. I'm have to investigate Holland Cruise!
You should!
OMG!! That swim suit set was fabulous!! If you feel obliged, I would love to know the designer. If not, just keep rocking it. Thanks for the video.
I love holland America and I loved the video.
Thanks so much 😃
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.
You are so welcome! The Wonder was your first cruise?! You set the bar really high lol 😂
Awesome !
Thank you! Cheers!
I took a Mediterranean Cruise on Holland America. I loved every minute of it.
I bet that was awesome 🤩
Oh WOW!
🥰🥰🥰
The sunset was beautiful behind you guys.
Thank you
Love your reviews. You guys are very classy. Thank you
Glad you like them! Thanks so much
I just discovered your channel so new subscriber here. Great content aboard one of my favorite ships. Well done!
Awesome, thank you! 😊
Whew! So glad yall booked that excursion through the cruiselineor this vlog could've taken a whole different direction 😂
Right?! We got lucky on that one…and the rest of the people on the bus kept it light and fun so nobody really had an attitude ☺️
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.
I did indeed hit the thumbs up when y’all said! Lol!
😂😂
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!
HAL is my favourite line. The music is always great.
Love the live music 🥰
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 😊
So cool!
Holland seems like a vibe! I just wanna sail for the food 😂
You should! It was so good 😊
What a fun review to watch. Sailing on the Rotterdam later this year. Can’t wait!
Have fun 🤩
Can't wait to cruise HA!!! I don't need the turn up. Appreciate the simple elegance. Love my fellow loc sista!!!
Thank you!! And that is a perfect description - simple elegance
Thank you very well. I appreciate❤ I must visit Belize ❤
You should! One of our favorite ports of call. Actually looking at buying property there
Addy & Terry, Thank you for sharing this. Hubby & I are cruising on HA on the Dave Koz Jazz cruise. Looking forward to dining @ Pinnacle Grill. You are a such a beautiful couple who shares amazing info. So much appreciate you all. (PS I’m Kim Barron’s mom). Kim & friends cruised with you all on the 1st Sisterhood @ Seas cruise. She loved her evening cigars 😊
Our pleasure! Awww we miss Kim!
😃😃😃👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 #REPLAY GANG
🥰🥰🥰
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!😅😅
😂😂😂 thank you
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.
Aww thank you so much. Yes, I use lots of sunscreen and moisturizer with spf. 🤗
Excursion tour bg music is super epic. Y’all about to find a Dino bone!
☺️☺️☺️☺️
Cute swim wear Ms. Addy.
Thank you! 🤗
Hey Addy and Terry ❤
👋🏾👋🏾
Hahaha ok you “hypnotized “me, I subscribed! And I agree …….aliens, lol
Will be on the Rotterdam in August to Norway.
Oh fun 🤩
The only Cruise line we will go on😊
Really?! I’m curious, why?
22:22 👍🏾
I never book excursions directly through the cruiseline but this has scared me straight
We really only book through the cruise line on excursions that we KNOW have a possibility of running late like seeing the ruins. If it is a short 2-3 hour excursion, we book local.
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 🤩
Been there BEAUTIFUL.
Right?! 💯
Hi Addy, I hope that you are well. You're in my prayers! Thank you both for this awesome vlog.
I love the "Get out" tea cup reference 😂
Thank you for covering the food options as well! Many blessings to you!
Thank you! You too!
Be sure to try out the special frys at the Dive IN bar, located by the main pool. Stay safe..
Oh we did…i ate a LOT of the cheese fries
13:13 OK with the National Geographic music. 🙌🏽
😂😂😂
Loved this recap, thinking about booking a client on HAL. Terry, it was aliens
😂😂😂
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.
Welcome aboard! And absolutely 💯 check out our channel for some posts about MSC
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.
Glad to see such. A nice time had on Holland.
If you booked through the cruise line They will wait but only w/in a reasonable amount of time. If it has to leave they will make sure you get to the next port of call and rejoin the ship.
Don’t want folks mad if it happens to them and the ship has left!
Very very true. But we were only about an hour behind.
Yes! We were just onboard the Rotterdam for Christmas and will NEVER step foot on that cruise line again!!!
Did you have a bad time or are you being sarcastic??
Addy always has the best lipstick!!! 4:46
That’s the Lip Bar Rich Auntie 🥰
So jealous, we were stuck on the boat.
6:40 - Yall done put some people in the non subscribed sunken place!
😂😂😂😂
I have I done all that you say I want to do! Thanks for sharing You got me intrigued with Mayan people! Thanks for enlightening on excursions! Isn’t 35 ft swells a tsunami?
😂😂 you are very welcome. And the way that ship was rocking, it felt like a tsunami lol
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
3:22 Y'all have produced filmed evidence that Holland America is not slacking... especially with the musical entertainment!!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Awww you are so sweet 😊 thank you
Look deep into my eyes! Do you remember the snake on jungle book? Y’all tickled me stirring your coffee!
😂😂😂
Ok I’m sold. Booking next time they have $1 deposits.
I forgot that they do that! Great idea 🙌🏽
Four cruises with holland and that’s it
🤩🤩
Dive in burgers! Yes!
The fries 🍟
Addy do you have any links to some of the outfits you wore in this video?
Check out my LTK. I will post more soon 🤗 link in description
