Review summary
Favorite part was getting off the ship to check out the different ports, although you had wait in a long line to get off the ship. The food in the dining room was not good. Our waiter was literally running from table to table. We had to ask his name and search him out for pepper or water. Our table of 4 sent back food almost every night. Too salty, bland and just plain bad or cold! Seems like they did this purpose so we had to go to another restaurant and pay to eat out meal. We were nickel and dimed on coffee, dessert and other snacks on this ship. The smoking in the casino, since it was so small, was unbearable. So we were not able to gamble. Disembarkation was a complete nightmare. We were made to leave our rooms and there wasnt enough seating in the bars they wanted us to wait in. So people were lined the hallways sitting on the floor waiting to leave the ship. And we had wait an hour past our scheduled time. Completely unorganized. Our party of 4 would NEVER travel on the Koningsdam again. I thought Holland America had experience in upscale cruising...not in this ship.
