We were disappointed there was no classical music. The Billboard Onboard singers were very good. Rolling Stone and BB King were too loud.

Ship Quality

Lovely new ship with many unique art pieces on the stair landings.

Cabin / Stateroom

Tiny cabin with no place to sit but on the bed. Bathroom was just right for one person with large shower.

Ship tip

Make sure your cabin has chairs or a loveseat.

Thanks for your review. I agree, you need a sofa to sit on or at least a chair. I review photos of the cabin to be sure I am getting what I want. Very nice itinerary! Did you chose your own flight or did you go through HAL? We are on the Rotterdam in 1 week.

You had an inside room which in most cases does not have a chair or a loveseat. As long as you get an ocean view or above, you will get a loveseat to sit on.
