Over-The-Top

April

Pros: Fantastic Service, Food,& Ports

Cons: Lots if people coughing.

Recommended: Yes

We were on the Oosterdam 17 day Inca and Panama Canal Discovery. Our room stewards, Ketut and Agung, were outstanding. They were very hospitable, courteous, extremely prompt to our needs and truly outstanding. The food also on this ship was above even the levels we have experienced before on Holland America. The captain was friendly, outgoing and willing to share information. The cruise staff could not have been better. Unfortunately, many passengers were coughing...a lot.

Wonderful experience!

October

Pros: Amazing staff and amenities, very safe and fun cruise line.

Cons: Not enough activities that pertain to a younger generation

Recommended: Yes

For as much money as we spent, we felt bored at times while on the ship. It would be nice to have activities designed for all ages, not just the older generation.
