Travel with me on fun-filled week onboard the Holland America Line Rotterdam cruise ship. I had such a fabulous time with special new friends, old friends, amazing service, entertainment and dining. Although the ship departs from Port Everglades in Ft Lauderdale, I flew to Miami International Airport - MIA for my American Air non-stop to/from Austin. Get a taste of life onboard with dining, games and entertainment led by my friends in the entertainment staff like Tomas Zwart Snoeck, Kimberly Wells, Clayton Lyndsey and Noah Watkins. See my Obstructed View Balcony Cabin, #4051. Listen to the amazing BB King's Blues Club at Sea All-Stars with lead singers Shawn Sounds and Vanessa Ferguson, Jake Daniels on sax, Elijah Hall on trumpet, Jon Jones on bass, Sam “Bamm” Johnson on drums and Stanyos Young on the keys; Lincoln Center Stage and BBC Earth in Concert with Alice Martelli on piano, Aleks Gargol on the viola, Alex Lee on violin and Joe Isom on cello; Billboard Onboard with Zach Ivy and Emma Sundvik; Rolling Stone Rock Room with Tommy Richardson and Patrick Dinnsen on guitar, Poyee Yancy on bass, Ethan Johnson on drums and Rachel Whorton on the keys. Dine with me at the complimentary dining venues, the main dining room plus Lido Market, Dive In, New York Pizza and my favorite Grand Dutch Cafe. Enjoy Laughs at BB’s with comedians Steven Scott and Alvin Williams. Sip my favorite cocktails. See what the Greenhouse Spa & Salon thermal spa pass provides. Learn my tips and tricks for the best places to go on the ship, how to dress, and all the activities in our port stops of Aruba, Curacao and Half Moon Cay. Go diving with me in Aruba and Curacao, plus horseback riding and snorkeling in Half Moon Cay
