Review summary

The ship is greatful, the trip in the container terminals is not to recommende. This was not a nice cruise for us, also because the organisation was sometimes terrible.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We embarkated in HH Steinwerder in a fiew minutes. It was a short time embarkation, because we are black member. Other passengers had to wait a long time.

The ship design and the cleanliness had been very good.

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was very small, not made for long cruises.

Ship tip

The ship is beautiful, the organisation not so good, the terminals had been container-terminals, not cruise-terminals, so it was not a nice trip, not to recommende, sorry.

Amsterdam, Netherlands Did not visit port

The ship didn't cruise to Amsterdam, but we saw later other ships cruising to Amsterdam. The weather was not so good an the captain did not cruise to Amsterdam.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
We stay two days in Zeebrugge, then we lost the ship. We had to wake up at 5 a clock in the morning and to left the cabin at 5.45 am, but we hd to wait for the bus till 7 am. Then we must wait in the bus, till all passengers had found their buses. Our bus was ready to go, but we must wait, till all buses had been ready to go. And 10 minutes after starting with the buses, all 8 buses had to stop on a police station in Zeebrugge, and 1 person/one police scaned all passports of the 400 passengers. And we must wait outside the building in the rain. Se are not amused!!!
