Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise on the Rotterdam.  This was the second cruise on a Holland American ship during a period of 18 months.  On the first cruise from Venice to Istanbul and back to Venice, we noticed the quality of food on the ship was not what we have always expected on Holland America.  On the last cruise, we noticed the same lack of quality.  Is this what we will be experiencing on future cruises with Holland America?

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The service in the dining room was excellent. My problem is with the quality of the food. Every steak I ordered was tough and the one formal night when lobster was served, it was over done.
