Our vacation time in 2006 is very limited, and we couldn't find a Radisson cruise even with our onboard discount. We're booked for an "SY" mini-suite on Holland America's new Vista class ship, the Noordam, from NYC (10 miles from home) for November, 2006, but have real concerns as to whether we'll be happy with a mass market line after being on Radisson. (That's why we're considering Silversea, and have started a thread on that subject.)

Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether this will work? Should we try the Noordam, or cancel it and take a land vacation (or possibly Silversea)? We've been on HAL twice, but our last three cruises have been on Celebrity, Windstar, and the Navigator. We've never been on a ship with more than 1.300 PAX, and the Noordam has about 1,900.
