Review summary

just got off the Koningsdam after a 7 day Eastern Caribean cruise.  

 

Not it sure where to begin....all was fantastic and Holland America has nailed it with this beautiful new ship.

 

Never a long line. Not crowded. 

 

Food was plentiful, delicious and quite the variety between the main dining room, lido, dive in burgers, a fun Dutch cafe, Very good NY pizza and several specialty options. And breakfast on our balcony.

 

We enjoyed the nightly entertainment. Several venues and we rotated between the BBKing Blues, a BBC Artic documentary set to live music, the Lincoln Stage w a 5 member classic group, movies at night at the Lido Pool w/wings and popcorn.

 

We bought the hydro suites spa pass and wore out the card. Great hot tub w power jets, steam room and those warm ceramic lounge chairs....

 

above all, what I recall from previous Holland cruises and what still sets Holland apart is the friendly, efficient, pleasant, always helpful and always smiling crew. That's the secret sauce of Holland America.

 

Holland America's  new slogan is "savor the journey", well, we did and can't wait to book again!
