Review summary

Noordam was brand spanking new and wonderful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food overall was excellent. It does seem that now that there is the option to pay for exceptional dining that the meals in the formal dining room were just a tad less special....especially the steaks.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great. Missed having ballroom dance classes, but there were many other things to do so it wasn"t a problem.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
By far, the friendliest, most helpful of any of the cruises we have taken.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship size was perfect.... The crew washed windows at our Verandah suite at least twice during our 11 day cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Bathroom in the Verandah suite was spacious. We loved having a tub as well as shower.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We did the tour to St. John's National Park which was great! We didn't really see any of St. Thomas.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Again, we took a tour and visited the fort and the Capitol building. We only had a morning in Puerto Rico. Ship sailed at 1:00PM. Since it was a Sunday, the better stores only opened at 11:00.

Roseau, Dominica

1 out of 5
We just walked the town....sidewalks are narrow and uneven. Streets are narrow with a lot of traffic. This is definitely a place to take a tour.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

3 out of 5

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

3 out of 5
Unfortunately, Nov 11th was a National Holiday so everything was closed down. The sightseeing tour did give us an overview and some scenic spots.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
We took the Barbados Coast to Coast tour and enjoyed it.

Pros: service was exceptional

Cons: no self service laundry facilities

Recommends Noordam? Yes!
