Good ports of call but the ship was disappointing. We won’t cruise with Koningsdam again.

Koningsdam

Review summary

Koningsdam is new and nicely appointed. The artwork in the public spaces was different and very attractive. The rooms felt tight and there was not enough storage room for clothes. Bonaire, Curacao, and Aruba are very nice islands and well worth visiting. The long lines at nearly all the serving station in Lido (the buffet restaurant) made it very unpleasant. Our friends had no AC and the engineers couldn’t repair it.

Ship tip

Change ships. Long lines for all food in the Lido Market. We had some bad experiences such as a server refusing to give vanilla or chocolate ice cream. On the first night in the main dining room the server claimed to have run out of Caesar Salad dressing. Our room steward, Raz, was wonderful.
