Review summary

First time to ever go on a cruise and fortunately for me, it was with Holland America. I never felt so pampered, felt so special, and so taken care of than while I was on board the MS Noordam, from waiters to cabin boys, the front desk staff and the whole sailng crew.

Need more entertainment shows!

Cabin / Stateroom

Love my cabin boys, Oki & Yuda. I would always come back to my cabin in awe even for a short time. The team kept my room so tidy and clean during the duration of this cruise. Kudos to them!

Ship tip

If you are traveling with a group of friends, it's advisable to have assigned seatings at the dining room. Don't have to wait for your turn to be seated.
