  • Video Tour of the Holland America Amsterdam Lido Deck

    I continue my series of video tours of the Holland America Amsterdam with this short video of the Lido Deck where the buffet-style food is served and a peak up into what they call the Crow’s Nest. I do apologize for the quality of the video. I film with a small point and shoot style…
