Ex chef Thomas Schuman is the bomb! He cooks viddles that is so good when we were on the Veendam.
Thank you for sharing the photos from each of your cruise liners. Viewing them added a special touch to our Thanksgiving preparations and were a most pleasant reminder of our recent marvelous cruise on the Baltic.
Thanksgiving blessings on each crew member,

They are all so beautiful. Can’t figure out what everything is, but how
could one resist tasting any or all of them? Thanks so very much for
sharing them with your patrons, especially if they were unable to travel
with you this year. Have a wonderful day. Enjoy!
Beautiful pictures. We loved our cruise to Alaska on your Holland America Cruise. It makes me hungry.
Great pictures!
As always, out of this world.
Wish I were there – I plan to be there in the Spring.
I have always heard great things about Holland American cruise ships and will certainly look into it for my next cruise which isn’t far off. Your Thanksgiving Day arrangements are awesome. Please keep me on your list. Thankyou. Lea Bonacci Clearwater, Florida
WHAT!! No pics from the Volendam?
Our time aboard the ms Volendam took place in July. But if the great time my wife and I had at that time is any indication of what it could be during a holiday, disapointment is not on the “menu” to even worry about.
Food was excellent, service was even better. What’s more…the servers were just plain fun! So friendly and helpful.
I would love to cruise aboard her again. Only this time during a holiday to see what the crew whips up. I’ll bet it’s a blast!
Thanks for the wonderful Thanksgiving pictures. It makes me want to get on a cruise right now. It’s pouring down rain in Seattle. Best wishes for a very happy Thanksgiving.

Can’t wait to make the Chocolate Pecan Pie! Those pictures were great – an excellent idea. And a Happy Thanksgiving to Holland America.
The display(s) were very festive for the Thanksgiving Season, really enjoyed the display around the fleet, very creative job, my hat off to those with the bright ideals.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Awesome photos! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you too! Kathleen
Can’t wait to take our next cruise, number 6.
Your chefs are very talented at decorating, as well as cooking.
