Review summary

HAL did an outstanding job once again, crew and staff were great. A big thumbs up to Ahmad, Kryst, Hasta, Tiyo, Voltaire, (Jelena in the spa) Aries, Sonia and (Michael beverage utility) These crew memebers made our cruise very enjoyable, and should be given recognition for their positive attitudes through the cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All the food was excellent. We ate on the Lido deck buffet for breakfast and dinner, and the dive in for bugers for lunch. We experienced the main dining on our third night and the food and staff were amazing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Bingo is always good.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We did'nt spend a lot of time watching any of the entertainment, but what we did see on the last night of our cruise was very enjoyable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean and very well maintained by the crew and I would book another cruise on the Rotterdam.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was great and having a balcony was a plus! It was nice to sit out and relax in the warm breeze. The room was comfortable, and the only minor negative comment is the TV needs to be upgraded. ( I was spoiled by the size of the TV on my first cruise on the Eurodam)

Ship tip

It's a very calm relaxing cruise ship

Ports of call

We Arrived in Tapma a day early to take in some of the culture in historic Ybor.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Always many things to do in Key West!

Santo Tomas De Castilla, Guatemala

4 out of 5
We took a tour of the town Santo Tomás de Castilla and Puerto Barrios. Very nice tour for our small group of six, but sad to see the living conditions of a lot of the people.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We stayed in the cruise port and enjoyed the sun and warm water! It was very hot and relaxing, we would love to cruise here again to see more of the Island.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Go see the Mayan ruins! It was well worth the price and drive from the cruise port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Simple and fast.
