Our port of the day is Probolinggo, Java Indonesia.  I have only been to Benoa (Bali).  This port sounds like a good one

Can you please tell me if Holland America handles the Visas for Indonesia?  Any help is appreciated.  We are US citizens. Thanks

We did one of our longest cruises (51 day - old Rotterdam R-class ship ((London Indonesia Singapore) in an ocean view cabin to make it affordable

Question. Did. you need to get visas for Indonesia or did Holland America take care of it for you.  Thanks for any help you can give on this.  

" he turned out to be Mickey, the onboard destination speaker, the best I've ever heard. His lectures were before a full house each time, if you're lucky enough to have him on board, get there early, because it's standing room only."

Oh my gosh! Are you talking about Mikey-Live? We had him on a transatlantic and he is great. Would love to see him again. You are very fortunate. We are booked on The Solstice in December and I'm loving your photo review. Thanks so much for taking the time.

Thank you Keith, I thought it would be a good idea to have all my port experiences in the one place to hopefully help other cruises when looking for something to do at a port :)

Thank you so much for the detailed information on these ports. We will be cruising this area in November and, as it's our first time in the Pacific, this information will come in handy to help us decide on what we do in the ports we're visiting. Thanks again,

When we got to our room on last cruise, there was stuff in bathroom, they had body wash and shampoo on in the shower so you didn't have to bring it , well, wife brought her's, is there stuff like that on this ship ??

Well, if you wife is anything like me, she'll want to bring her own shampoo and conditioner....I hate the stuff they put in the dispensers. ;-)
