Review summary

This is a very nice cruise. Typically an older crowd so they cater to that. It would be nice to see more younger people on board.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Everything was smooth. We were met at the airport by an excited representative and bussed to the ship. We were there very early so they took our bags and we went to explore the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was great, the chef met us for some of our meals. Our bartender knew us by the second night and would know what we wanted.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There wasn't much on board. A putting green and shuffleboard was all.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The few shows they had were good but not much to talk about.

Children's Programs

No children on board

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was amazing. The captain was everywhere helping the crew. Even after getting sick and being quarantined they took very good care of us.

Ship Quality

The interior of the ship was always clean and had a great layout. The outside needed a little work. There were cobwebs outside the windows and on the balconies.

Ship tip

Overall the cruise would have been great but we were quarantined on the 2nd day so we didn't get to do much. I would like take it again.

Ports of call

Amsterdam, Netherlands

4 out of 5
The walking tour was nice but it would have nice to see more of the heart of the city and/or canals.

Kinderdijk, Netherlands

5 out of 5
I enjoyed the windmills and the guide was great. If you can get past the smell the cheese making tour was good as well.

Cologne, Germany

5 out of 5
The waling tour was good. Seeing some items off the beaten path was nice. The palace tour was okay. Our tour guide there wasn't very informative and wasn't able to answer several questions.
