Don't expect there to be a lot to do. You will need to entertain yourself.

Do not get a veranda on deck 4, carry a notepad or collect your drink receipts to keep track if you have a drink package.

Don't miss the Orange Party! HAL celebrates their Dutch heritage with a party where they play music, dance, and serve Dutch appetizers & orange cocktails. Make sure to bring something orange to wear!

Wath out for very long shore excursions (5+ hours). Most of the time spent getting to a destination then a little bit of play time.

Explore this ship as there is alot to see and do

This is a noticably larger ship than is typical of Holland America. Be sure to explore it all, i was still finding new things even on the last full day!

This room is right above BB Kings which goes late. You can hear music late into the night in your room. Take earplugs.

We had a great experience on the Koningsdam! Food and service were top notch! Relax and enjoy

If you go during Covid, 90% of the passengers will not be wearing masks after 2 days on the ship.

Make sure you get your navigator app as it tells you everything you need to know.

If you cruise for the onboard experience, reconsider any cruise on Holland America. We have been on 3 cruises with HAL this year. The entertainment is pathetic. Four of seven nights the main stage has Step One dance shows. At least one night is BBC Earth projected on the screen. Daytime activities are primarily trivia, but they offer how to identify animal tracks, flower arranging, origami, coloring for adults. BORING!!! One movie per day, on the deck at 9:30 pm.

Read the daily events and plan out you day the night before so you don’t miss any of the mid morning activities you might like.

Get a balcony if you can afford it.

Room service is not great. Trays look “thrown together” and are often missing things like cream for coffee, salt and pepper and often items that were listed on the menu as part of the meal aren’t there. However, the room service waiters were great.

I would make sure you bring a few good books 10 days at sea is a long time.
