Review summary

The Prinsendam is a small ship.  Maybe 800 passengers.  Short distances and fewer decks to cover between locales.  Easier to meet other passengers - and see them over and over again.  Everything is laid back.  No lines.  No crowded venues.  Fabulous service from the crew.  And, yes, on a small ship crew and passengers get to know each other too.  Entertainment was very good.  Sophisticated.  Classical music every evening in one lounge.  Finally, for many of us, repositioning cruises are what cruising is about.  We had 9 sea days out of the 16 days onboard.  Paradise for me.

Ship tip

Ship is low key. Many people love it and do back-to-back cruises on her at least once a year. But it is low key. No Las Vegas atmosphere. No disco. No water slides or climbing wall. Know what you are looking for. This is not for everyone.

Even if one does not do Seville excursion, this is a good walking-around town. A non-touristy small Spanish city.
