Review summary

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining room was slow . The Lido deck food was as good as the dining room food . The Pinnacle grill was excellent and so was the Canelleto restaurant. Lido was crazy busy in the mornings but that was to be expected with a full ship .

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools were clean hot tubs said they sat 8 more like 3 per tub .

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The live music was good on the ship. I was just disappointed they stopped all entertainment at midnight even on sea days . Also the DJ Ines music selection was awful . Would of love if they would have had music till 2am in the crows nest for those of us that would of liked to dance . Holland use to do this .

Children's Programs

Did not travel with kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our stewards were awesome as well as the bartenders in the crows nest and Casio bar.

Beautiful ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The 10th floor on the Koningsdam is near the spa above the pool it was nice . Shower was very large !

Ship tip

Ask them if you are going to have to pay any additional fees per day on the ship ! We were charged and additional 14.50 per person in the cabin per day . We had already paid for our drink package that included the gratuities . We also tripped our room stewards extra .

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
Took an open air bus tour to see the salt flats and went to Delfin resort for a few hours . Snorkeling off the beach was just amazing. If you snorkel you should definitely schedule a tour to do so . Where a water skin or wet suit ! The water was very cool clear but amazing !

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
We walked around the town shopped . Then took a 2 dollar taxi ride per person to Mambo beach . You pick the taxi up near the floating market behind the circular market building . Just remember you need some cash on you some places have pay toilets !

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Did the UTV tour across the national parks to see the pools and such . Great tour just bumpy and then they took us to Arashi beach once again take cash with you to use the toilet !
