Great cruise and great crew. Prefer longer cruises but right now we are settling for 5 short ones til the Pandemic is over.

Review summary

Colon is unsafe unless on an excursion and Limon gov't officials were photographing everyone's vaccination cards. Been to the ABC Islands a dozen times but still enjoyed a great Aruba tour with ElTours and Peter, our guide. Have sailed on the Eurodam previously - a nice mid-sized ship that is easy to explore. The Indonesian crew- as always- was the absolute best!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

4* - right to the head of the line. Fast and friendly. No issues.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Room Service was 5* but the Lido was a range of the good, bad and ugly. The MDR vegetarian dishes were awful but the fish dishes were superb. The Canaletto was great but NYC Pizza messed up the 4 ingredient Tribeca pizza every time we ordered it.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Great gym but closed to passengers every afternoon that the ship is in port - not very nice for those of us who stay onboard. Only 2 staff personnel were using the gym but we were not allowed to join them

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The Island Magic steel drum band was just great. The dueling pianos on Billboard Onboard were much better than on our recent Rotterdam cruise. The Lincoln Center Stage group were super. BBKing's group was so-so.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Loyal to Holland America for 30 years because of their Indonesian and Filipino staff.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Wide deck 3 promenade for walking and an easy ship layout to learn.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

large sofa and coffee table - ideal for room service
