Review summary

EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL  ROOM SERVICE VERY AM WAS EXACT AND ALWAYS ON TIME. IT WAS BETTER TO PUT YOUR OWN ORDER IN AND NOT CHECK WHAT THEY LISTED AS WE DIDN'T WANT ALL THAT THEY OFFERED. OUR CABIN WAS VERY NICE AND HAVING TV WITH LOTS OF CHANNELS WAS GREAT. WE ESPECIALLY LIKED THAT THEY HAD FOOTBALL GAMES IN CROW NEST OR YOUR CABIN. HAPPY HOUR IN CROWS NEST WAS ONE OF OUR FAVORITES, WE MADE LOTS OF FRIENDS AND THE WAIT STAFF WAS WONDERFUL. THE WAIT STAFF IN LIDO'S AND DINING ROOM WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. WE COULD ALWAYS FINE A TABLE AND NEVER HAD A WAIT.

Ship tip

NOT HAVING A LIBRARY ON BOARD WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING ESPECIALLY FOR 6 DAYS AT SEA. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GREAT THE SHOWS AMAZING,AND WE ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE SPEAKERS SORT OF MADE UP FOR NO LIBRARY. THE COST OF INTERNET WAS TERRIBLE BUT THE COMPUTER CLASS WAS VERY GOOD.

Thank you for your review. Does Koningsdam Vista Suite 6001 have a wrap-around balcony, where you can walk in front of the forward facing window?

I, too, missed not having a library and wished that the Crows Nest had live music.
