20 things you MUST do on your next HOLLAND AMERICA cruise!

I'm currently onboard Holland America Line's Rotterdam cruise ship, and I have 20 things that you NEED to remember to do whilst on your Holland America cruise. The best part? Most of them are FREE, so won't cost you a penny!

Before this cruise, I had no idea what to expect from a cruise with Holland America, and so I thought putting this video together may help others in a similar position to what I was. It's safe to say I was really impressed with my experience on HAL, and I'm hoping that sharing my tips and advice here can help you enjoy your trip to the full too!

These tips apply specifically to my experience here on Rotterdam, which is the newest Pinnacle Class ship in the Holland America fleet, but it's important to note that these tips will also benefit you if you're planning to cruise on other Holland America ships: Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Nieuw Statendam, Noordam, Oosterdam, Volendam, Westerdam, Zaandam or Zuiderdam!
