Hi Doug! Thank you for another informative cruise video. With you being able to go, travel, and experience all the ship's amenities; you can give us a fair & honest assessment of the facilities, food, crew, etc. I'm just trying to decide which ship to take first, what destination to go on, etc. Thanks for sharing. I've subscribed. 🏝🚢🌅🌍

I do have a Eurodam and Rotterdam review and ship score on the channel so check those out. In general, Holland America Line has excellent service levels and the crew is always friendly and very attentive. The main dining room food is normally very good but you will have hit or miss nights. If this ever happens order something else that looks better and they will replace it immediately. The Lido Market buffet is normally very fresh but I find the selection somewhat limited. I normally go to the eggs benedict station every morning for freshly made eggs or the salad and deli sections for lunch. Dive in burgers are very good and on the Pinnacle Class ships, the NY Pizza and Deli has great pizza and amazing deli sandwiches made to order - both hot and cold. If I were looking at HAL for a cruise, after choosing the itinerary, I would see if the newer larger Pinnacle Class like the Rotterdam or Konningsdam. They offer more venues and options than the smaller ships like Nieuw Amsterdam and Eurodam. Thanks so much for sharing and for subscribing!

I was really thinking I wouldn’t like this ship because it’s older and not a pinnacle class, but this has really changed my mind. Thank you for the great content 😊

It is a very good ship with a lot to offer. I enjoy the Pinnacle Class a bit more just due to the dual level pool areas and the dedicated music walk venues but other than that, they are pretty much the same. Pinnacle might have a slightly better theater and more dedicated spaces. One big difference is that Pinnacle Class does NOT have a wide outside promenade like the Signature Class has. Thanks for sharing!

I first sailed this ship in 2018, only 3 nights before a Yukon cruise tour. I missed the ship, especially when the first couple hotels were a little rough. We have since done a 5 night coastal, and 14 night Alaska, 3/3 all on the same ship with HAL.

That is wonderful to hear! This ship was our first experience on Holland America and have since sailed Eurodam in the Panama Canal and recently on the Rotterdam. I really enjoyed the Rotterdam and find it a slightly better design than the Signature Class. With HAL recently announcing new shows in the Main Stage theater, I think that this will correct some of the holes in the entertainment on HAL that I have struggled with. Thanks so much for sharing and for watching!

I was on the Koningsdam two years ago. I loved the music walk. I would sit at the piano bar, and stay there when the rock and roll venue took their turn across the way. This kept the volume for both venues exactly to my liking. But Lincoln centre stage was an enormous highlight for me. I never missed a performance at that venue and I'm awfully sorry to see it go.

I actually prefer the larger Pinnacle Class ships with the separate Billboard and the Rolling Stone Rock Room. It is very smart for them to alternate sets and then have the two level BB Kings is great. We first experienced Lincoln Center Stage on our first sailing on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Like you, we never missed a performance and was just blown away. I also enjoyed them on the main stage during the BBC Earth presentations. I was completely caught off guard that during the recent retrofit, HAL left this room empty and did not attempt to change it into something. HAL states that Lincoln Center will be on select ships as a main stage performance but I have yet to hear of a sailing where that is the case. Thanks for sharing and for watching as always!
