Review summary

I can't say enough about our 7-night cruise to Alaska on the Oosterdam. The accommodations were superb, the food was incredible, and the service was absolutely top notch! It was everything we expected and more. The only downside is having to readjust to "real" life after being pampered and served for a week at sea. The crew was great. From the very beginning, our room stewards and our wait staff new and used our names, and quickly learned our preferences, and made us feel welcome at all times. Always smiling and helpful, they often went out of their way for us. The food was superb, a different gourmet meal every night. And the excursions and onboard entertainment were great. I can't wait to cruise with Holland America again, and would whole-heartedly recommend this line to anyone. It was well worth every dollar we paid for the experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Although the cabin was small (no surprise), it was extremely comfortable and well-kept. It was serviced several times each day, and had everything we needed. Space planning was great, with great utilization of under-bed and closet areas.

Ship tip

For those travelling in wheelchairs, get a room near an elevator. The carpets are thick and plush (which is normally a good thing) and can be tough to navigate in a chair.
