Canada and New England
July
Pros: Service
Cons: Lack of options
Recommended: Yes
It was a nice cruise. The food was acceptable but not great in the Lido restaurant. OK for cafeteria-style dining. Room service was on time. The restaurants were excellent but there could have been more menu options.

Quaint small ship
April
Pros: Size of ship, friendly crew
Cons: Food is average
Recommended: Yes
Great small ship, with very friendly crew who learns your name quickly. Call brands of liquor is limited. Would not recommend getting the elite liquor package. Entertainment is more informative than entertaining

Nova Scotia cruise
August
Pros: Excellent cabins, good food, nice staff
Cons: Poor internet connection, average entertainment
Recommended: Yes
Zaandam ship is well equipped, very nice cabins and cabin staff. Food was quite good. Although we prepaid for drink package, the drinks were watered down version. The cruise we took was suited for seniors. My son and his wife are in of age 60. This cruise was not suitable for them but apart from few disappointments like flaky internet and average entertainment , they were happy. Port of Sydney could be avoided. Nothing much there
