I would actually do this itinerary again. Whether I choose beach days or exploring I know I’ll have a great time. Only 2 of these ports were new for me but I had totally different and wonderful experiences in the ports I have already been to. 10/10. Best time ever! Loved every bit of it. Looking forward to #7!
Embarkation

Quick and easy every time with HAL.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Drinks were great. Food was not as great as previous cruises but still good. Room service in the morning, lunch wherever, and dinner in the main dining room - no complaints.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Day to day events lacked diversity. The Iido pool always had places to lounge. The gym was good. Everything was clean and well kept.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
I only regularly took in the BB Kings Blues Band which was great. There’s a number of live music venues to enjoy including rock and classical.
Children's Programs
I don’t have kids.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Always top notch.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
I like the layout of the pinnacle class ships (Rotterdam, Statendam, & Koningsdam). They’re all the same with different musical theme designs. I found the Koningsdam more appealing in this regard. Our cruise was sold out but never seemed overcrowded at any time - except for evenings in the casino.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
My stateroom was perfect. It joined with my Mum’s stateroom. Our balconies also joined so we had plenty of space and comfort. Our stewards cleaned our rooms twice per day. They checked in with us frequently and fulfilled every request. We really appreciated their efforts and pleasant personalities.
Ship tip
If you enjoy a more laid back scene with great service and a bit of evening fun - this might be the one.
