Board after 2:00 PM, crowds have abated.

I would never sail on Oosterdam again and may never sail with Holland again. They have gone down hill greatly.

Eat in the dinning rooms. I would prefer open seating.

Definitely purchase a drink package whether it be sodas or alcohol.

If your staying on a lower deck 1,2,3,4,5, Beware of the HORRIBLE PAINT SMELLS .Also when you go to the lower decks for activities you will smell it. The pool area and inside the gym had a smell of paint a few times as well.

I love the Gallery Bar

Ask for help if you need it. And go see the production show it’s amazing. And so is the Lincoln Center Stage

If you are looking for a lively crowd and lots of things to do during days at sea, skip this cruise. If you are looking to unwind and unplug, this could be for you. The Exploration Deck was OUTSTANDING. Quiet jazz in a coffee bar/regular bar/library with the best view ever!

If you are interested in the thermal suite passes, purchase them before boarding. We bought a couple's pass for $210 and on board it was $299.

Overlook the age and dated decor and enjoy the great food and entertainment.

Use the Navigator app. Helps keep track of all that is happening on the ship. Also the wifi thru the app is the best we have had on a cruise ship

Said this about Explorer's Lounge, but couldn't find a way to edit. It's actually about 2nd Deck Gallery Bar: Good shuffleboard and skittles. Could use more board games. Fantastic nightly $5 sample martinis! Explorer's Lounge on 10th Deck is outstanding with nice Library, views, etc.

always choose general dinning if you'd like to get to know other passengers.

I like the Gallery Bar a fun place

If you have traveled on ships like NCL and especially if you are traveling alone make sure you know that they do not have a dedicated crew member for solo meetups and this ship just doesn’t have as much to do. It is a much more sedate atmosphere and mostly passengers over 70. (I am too but I want a lively time on a cruise)
