Review summary

I can't say enough good things about this cruise. Everyone we encountered on the Oosterdam was delightful. The staff made a huge fuss of my 5 year old nephew and there was a Kid's Club he could attend all day (heaven for him; a great break for the adults). There were loads of great activities on the ship, the shore destinations were fantastic, the ship was spotlessly clean and everything was extremely well organized. The food was excellent--great variety and quality. All of the common areas were lovely--the cafe & library, the bars, the observation areas, the theatre, etc. I really don't have a single complaint (which is unusual for me because I'm horribly picky).

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our stateroom was a miracle of storage for such a small space. It was comfy and we loved the balcony. My nephew couldn't believe there was a bunk bed that descended from the ceiling every night! We had a great selection of movies in the room too. Everything was clean and well organized, just like on the rest of the ship. We couldn't have been happier. 

Ship tip

It can be difficult to find a seat in the Lido Marketplace at peak times (we didn't have a choice as to when we ate; when the five year old is hungry, everyone eats) but that's easily avoidable if you can wait until a bit later to eat.
