Well organized and smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food in main dining room was fine and buffet was acceptable. The Dive In had great burgers but often the area was not kept clean.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Due to weather ports were cancelled and at times there was a lack of planned activities after the cancellations.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
All musicians and performers were okay but there were no stage show productions.

Children's Programs

We are retired and have grown children.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Waiters seemed understaffed at peak times. Room stewards were very attentive. Ship personnel were friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was easy to navigate and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very comfortable and excellent amount of room for 2 people. Due to bad weather we weren't able to enjoy the balcony like we usually do. Shower curtain was ragged and needed to be replaced.

Ship tip

Take your own library books because there is not a library onboard Eurodam.

Ports of call

San Diego, California Did not visit port

Did not spend any extra time in this port. Flight in and transport to ship, transport to airport and flew home.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Did not visit port

Bad weather, port was cancelled.

Honolulu, Oahu

3 out of 5
Spent 2 nights in port here due to bad weather closing the port. High winds and extreme surf made going to the beach not an option. Pearl Harbor tour was affected by high winds as well. Made the best of everything and did some shopping.

Nawiliwili, Kauai Did not visit port

Bad weather, port was cancelled.

Lahaina, Maui Did not visit port

Bad weather, port was cancelled.

Hilo, Hawaii

4 out of 5
High winds made it a challenge for the ship to dock but the crew went to extra measures. We were able to tour the island waterfalls, points of interest and Volcano National Park.

Cruise Kilauea Volcano

1 out of 5
There was no lava activity, there was nothing to see at 9:00 pm that evening.

Ensenada, Mexico Did not visit port

Wasn't feeling well so didn't visit this port of call.

I truly wished we had a better experience then we got. But glad we got home safe and can go for more cruises I think Holland is out for me. But many great times to you all worth your further travel

Yeah, Hawaii had unusually bad weather, hope it clears up for our trip in 22 days on the Ruby. And 133 days until we do the Eurodam to Alaska.
