Holland is one of our favorite lines. We have cruised with them well over 300 days. We combine cruises with Holland on the same ship as they have some ships that travel and are not based in the same port for long periods of time. Usually can go up to 56 days before they start repeating ports. Almost 4 years ago now, we left Ft Lauderdale to the Med, sailed around the Med and then went around Europe up to Norway. Ended the cruise in Amsterdam, where the ship started to repeat destinations. We then flew to England and sailed back to US on the Queen Mary. Just before the pandemic, we had planned a cruise that ended in Singapore that started with a cruise through Alaskan and then down to Japan and the asia countries. it was also about 60 days. Even though it is multiple cruises, we had the same room throughout. Ports that were the end of the smaller
individual cruises were no different than all the other ports for us other than there was a bunch of new passengers that came on board. We could enjoy the port or stay on the ship, our choice! By the way, if you like Princess, Princess is part of the Holland American Group of Carnival Cruise lines. Many similarities!
