Review summary
We took this cruise because of the itinerary. The ship is fine, we would sail on the Zaandam again, but it wasn't my favorite ship. There are things to do onboard, but it is limited compared to the larger ships. The service and food were very good. I loved that in the buffet, the staff served most of the food instead of guests helping themselves. Not all guests are diligent in washing their hands.Embarkation

Service and Staff
Ship Quality
Cabin / Stateroom
Our cabin was fine. Across the hall was a storage room for the cabin steward. Occasionally we hear the doors opening or closing, but for the most part no problems
Ship tip
The ship is older, but still in good condition.

Disembarkation
Since we cleared customs in Bar Harbor ME (our first entry point in US) disembarkation in Boston was just a matter of walking off the ship and picking up our luggage. Couldn't have been easier.
