Review summary

We were happy with the Eurodam, thought the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, thought the food was very good especially in the dining room, enjoyed the piano duo on deck 2, room stewards were very good in room 7096.
We understand the need to be safe but were disappointed in the choice of replacement islands for the Turkish ports. I am in a wheelchair and Greek Islands are very hilly and cobble stoney. Rhodes and  Kefallinia were the only two that we could get around to any extent.  If it is true that HAL and other cruise lines were not going to Turkish ports since March, the website should have been changed then, so that customers knew what the real itinerary was before they booked. 

I found the temperature of the ship was too cool in most places (the dining room seemed warmer). Many other people said they felt the same way. The music, although good, was often so loud that it was hard to listen to. This was especially true in the Main Stage and we noticed many people leave again shortly after the show began. The caliber of the Main Stage shows did not seem to be as professional as on a previous Royal Caribbean cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was small but still had room for a collapsible wheel chair at the foot of the bed.

Ship tip

The doors to the outside decks are not automatic and very hard to navigate for someone in a wheelchair.

I know several people who complain about Holland America ships being cool, however as a very warm person, and four star on HAL, I asked that they do not turn up the temperature. One can always add a sweater if cold, however what are you supposed to do if you are too warm? What I do is I always pack a pair of earplugs with me, which I have needed in the BB King Lounge. Problem solved...
