As the only balcony cabins on this ship are on two decks only we are in an outside cabin for this segment. The beds can be placed together.
I have been sailing on Holland America ships since 1980 and have always enjoyed the standard of service from staff and the quality of the food. Many nights we eat on the Lido deck. It is an informal setting. And I love the Holland America "Bread Pudding" available daily in a different format.
