This was a Transatlantic, 16 night cruise
Zuiderdam Cruise Review to Caribbean - Western
Review summary
This was an inexpensive, comfortable way to get across the Atlantic for our Norway cruise. I would recommend a TA to anyone who has the time. Great was to truly relax.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Dive-In
We had lunch there a couple of times. I was not impressed. The burgers lacked taste and pizazz. I ordered a hot dog and it was hard. They feature what I thought was a brat and i could not eat it.
The Dining Room
The MDR was excellent after the first day or two. The wait staff were on the ball. We drink iced tea and had to ask the first day. Second day, it was there when we arrived at our table, then we asked for lemon and it was there the next day. We had to request spoons and yep, they were there every day until the end of the cruise. These guys were fantastic! The only negative was there was a limited selection of about 6-8 mains each night. If you want a good steak or lobster without going to the Pinnacle Grill, you can order it for an up charge of half the price in the MDR.

Ship tip
the stern section of the ship is ideal if you want to be near the MDR and Lido. Rear elevators go up or down to the respective venues but the entertainment is all the way forward, so that is a hike.
