What is this pink color figure climbing the building’s wall 😮😊

Are you the youngest on the ship?

This is so AWESOME. I'm your first viewer on this video. I've been a subscriber when you have 500 subs.. you are doing a fantastic job. Have fun young lady!!

We were just on a similar itinerary with Royal. Loving seeing so many of the ports we went to in your video! You got great weather in Geiranger. When we were there it was foggy so most of the higher mountain stops on our excursion was a bust. We had the same issue on our ship with stupid people feeding the birds. Our captain didn't say anything over the announcements though. They should be fined. Great job on the videos. I'm binge watching all of the Prima ones.

When tourists come to Iceland and plan to go swimming or to a lagoon, always wash without a swimsuit before entering the water. We Icelanders do this and we are not staring at the people around us. This is a normal thing. We Icelanders, on the other hand, get very angry if people don't shower, and tourists get very ugly looks from us. Thanks for visiting my hometown. I hope your visit was enjoyable.

Another nice video, thanks for sharing.

Great video! I have now subscribed! I'm looking forward to the other videos you have posted. Thanks for sharing your journey! We are heading to the Norwegian Fjords next month and can hardly wait!

Thanks for the (non-travel agent "salesy") tour. We went on a 15 day Zaandam cruise, similar to that ship. Met lots of really nice people from across the US and Canada. We realized that if you want something, anything, just ask your steward. They did a great job of managing the sliding roof. One nice thing on this cruise line is that the pools were always super clean.

Hello from Akureyri ❤️

To bad it is no cruise to show how nice it is her in Winter.

thankyou meredith, ive not travelled on Holland America, and really want to, I am a solo passenger too, NOT wanting to 'meet' anybody, just find friends who enjoy travellining and cruises - I've cruised on Celebrity and QE2 .and Princess ..and think Holland America would be a good fit for me...hope to see more of your posts as they are very informative

The pastry you got was not Munk, but berlinebolle or Berliner Bun. A berliner bun is a bun that is fried in hot lard or frying oil and rolled in sugar or icing sugar. Normally it has either vanilla cream or jam in a cavity on the inside. Nice video, thanks

It can also be interesting to have them seat you with random open tables for dinner. You can meet all sorts of characters.

Holland America does a decent job of keeping things classy. Nice little ship. Looks like fun! 🌎

My husband and I are going on this cruise early September for our honeymoon (actually now it’s our 5 year anniversary because Covid and having a baby got in the way 😅) he is the most excited about this port. Thanks for sharing!!

are there a lot of singles on these cruises? I want to go solo next year.

The tug boat was just “showing off”. that particular kind of tug is called a tractor tug and they can spin on a dime and have as much power sideways as they do going forward and backward. Enjoying your Vlogs!

The women was one of the best books I read this year. Reading her Angel’s Falls and it’s supposed to be another tearjerker. I’ve enjoyed all her books I’ve read so far.

The newer Holland ships have USB

I don't like Holland America. I went on Koningsdam last year and I absolutely hated it. There weren't much entertainment I loved and it looked very ugly.

The bigger HAL ships have a lot more plugs.

Nice vlog, truly enjoyed it. Thank you. Confidence baby confidence

The promenade deck cabins were Not private my wife and I could see inside inside sooooo no

Had the same kind of room for my Alaska cruise

I have traveled solo on many trips, sometimes on the first night there isn't anyone, but if you see a solo meet up again do go, or I hope you go, there maybe people there Have met some very nice people at these gatherings. Hope you enjoyed your cruise.

Hello love your videos,Do you recommend this cruise ports and ship? What was the name of excursion? Do you embark and debark in Norway ?

I was fortunate enough to visit the Bath’s in 2000. Incredible place. We had gotten married on St. Thomas and rented a 50 ft. Trawler and island hopped for 10 days around US and British Virgin Islands. So beautiful there.

Wow Boat House Row! Haven’t seen that in years, originally from Delaware but live in Florida for past 24 yrs. Thanks for showing that, made me a little phleklempt 😂

No problem. You don't want to go wandering around town in a storm.

🥹❤

Thanks for the wonderful vlog of your trip, it truly was spectacular! Sorry to hear you missed Amsterdam, it so glad you had travel insurance. So many people don’t get any travel insurance and are out of luck if something happens. It only takes one big issue to make travel insurance worth it for the entire year, been there! I’m looking forward to your Holland America vlog as I am very interested in that itinerary. I see you used transportation to LHR through NCL. What time was your flight and was the transportation easy to find once you disembarked? I have a 1:40 pm flight and am contemplating using the NCL transfer as private transfer is so expensive and has luggage limitations (there are 7 of us total.

Hello :) , we're looking for more cruise vloggers to add to our site, would you mind if i added your channel please?

An excellent video, young lady; very informative and well done. This is the first video of yours that I have seen but I have subscribed and will go through many more. I believe MSC Cruise Line's single supplement is currently only 25% on promotion and may be worth your looking into.

Hubby and I did the June 22nd Boston to Montreal on board her. We were on the Lower Promenade. It looks like you're on Dolphin Deck. Yep, no fridge, but ice is delivered. It was our first ocean-going cruise, so boarding was pleasantly easy. Given its age, for us, it was quite comfortable. Certainly not the double bunk North Sea Ferry, 31 years ago with our 18 month old and 5 1/2 year old sons, or last summer's river cruise on board the Canadian Empress (a replica riverboat traveling the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Rivers).

Oh No! You stayed on the ship! I loved Punte del Este. I went for a walk along thr beachfront, found a cafe, had a pizza and a beer. Got charged $25 Australian, which I thought wasn't bad. Then I went on a local tour, about ten of us in a mini bus

My last cruise was my first with Holland America. Did South America/Antarctica. My Stewards were great. Sang Happy Birthday to me for my 70th Birthday in Balinese. The Destination was great. The Shipboard experience, meh, underwhelming. No Lincoln Centre Stage or BB Kings Blues Club, what HAL are famous for. Apart from down in Antactica, no enrichment talks. Didn't see any live entertainment during the day, piped music in the Atrium. Where was your chocolate for the turn down service? In October I am doing the Transatlantic on QM2. Happy Cruising 🙂

Another excellent video. San Juan is my favorite port, but being Boricua, I'm a little biased. 😀

I love Holland America. I'm 57, so I now fit their demographic, but I have enjoyed cruising with them for the last 30 years. They do attract an older clientele, but that is due to the ambiance onboard, comfortable and relaxed with great service and good dinning. I'm so looking forward to your reaction to the Volendam.

This was a really well done video! This was my first time watching this channel, but I think I'll find other videos from this trip and watch.

As a Norwegian, I hope cruise ships will be banned from entering the fjords in the future. They ruin so much. They can dock at the entrance and maybe take smaller electric driven ferries that don't pollute and ruin the view for others if the passengers want to enjoy the fjords.

Another great video....thanks Mer for posting. Hoping to book my first ever solo cruise soon ...so these videos really help.

Excited to see your experiences on Holland America. We have taken a couple of New England / Canadian cruises out of Boston and New York. Interesting to see the differences between them. Keep your umbrella close to you! LOL

We spent 4 days in Bergen in December 2022: two of them in a gorgeous snowy wonderland (very rare for Bergen) before we boarded an 11 nt Hurtigruten coastal cruise and two of them (Christmas Day and Boxing Day) after the cruise. We loved this beautiful city.

So glad you are on Holland! My first cruise (solo) was this year on Konningsdam . I fell in Love with cruising and Holland. A big plus for me was little to No kids there. It was more relaxing that way. Plus they had the best service all around.

😞 missing the Ann Frank house is really disappointing. I heard it’s difficult to get tickets in the first place . 😞😞😞

Good morning from Bergen/Norway 😊🙋🏻‍♀️ I‘m currently on the cruise ship AIDAluna on a 14 day cruise from Germany to Svalbard. It‘s the 7th cruise that I‘m travelling alone. It could have been my own words what you said about the solo traveller meeting. 😄 I almost never go there, because I don‘t want to be identified by solo travelling men that I‘m a solo travelling girl. 🙈 That might be the end of having my peace and relaxing on holiday, especially because it‘s not the biggest ship either. 😄 I‘m looking forward to your vlogs, love Canada very much. 😍

I just got off the July 13th sailing! Our Montreal sail away was gorgeous and sunny. Too bad yours was so wet. We were two single/solo neighbors who cruise together sometimes and we had a Lanai 3359. Some thoughts. We found the entertainment good but not enough variety. Also, the house band was kind of dead beat. But Sam the Piano guy was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this ship. Met lots of other solos, and loved the ports. We really enjoyed our dinners and the games room. I loved the included coffee but Celebrity really has a lot more to offer there. The pool was lovely and heated. The vibe could be a bit more fun..seems a little stodgy at times, but having so many ports kept us busy...and yes, the AC is not as cool as it could be. Glad l found your vlog and perhaps we will cross paths in future!

Do you ever work? 😂. Never cruised with Holland America so looking forward to hearing about your experience. Another of your cruises that is on my list! Really enjoyed your Iceland series on Prima, thank you so much for that, great info next year when we do it. Need to watch your Antarctic cruise series…bucket list for us.

Ha ha...had to laugh seeing you on such a dinky ship. Outer promenade on deck 3...wow. Still, 1400 passengers...that must have been pretty nice.
