      SORRY! I SAID WE LEFT FROM PORT CANAVERAL BUT IT WAS PORT EVERGLADES.

      Thank you for a great vlog, I'm still trying to get Mark on a cruise ship, your experiences are helping to persuade him 😊
      The cocktail looked really complicated to make, hope it tasted great ❤

      Ha – saw your comment on Port Canaveral. Didn’t think that looked familiar as that’s our home port. Appreciate the insight as we’ve never sailed Holland. We’ll need to add that to our always growing list. It’s actually brave of you to do the first sailing on a Transatlantic route…

      Thanks for the comprehensive review. Seems like it was a great time. We‘re ready for a cruise. Rouen and Canterbury look fantastic. Holland America seems like it’s our type of cruise line.

      We'll be cruising on HAL Rotterdam in September, a newer ship. Hopefully, the food and other good points of your cruise will be the same on ours.

      While it's not as pretty of a ship as ones we have sailed on, that Library was incredible! Loved the villages you toured too…filled with history and gorgeous architecture.

      Looks like you had a great time on Holland & America with some great ports! We have only been on one of their ships but would love to sail again with them!
      Great video!😊

      Beautiful cruise. The ship looks small, but the service looks courteous and comfortable. The Ireland adventure is amazing and the castles and landscape are picturesque.
