This was my first cruise on Holland America so I was excited to try a new ship. As a loyal cruise critic reader I had read that cruise lines had personalities and you needed to match yours to the cruise line. I was surprised when I found that in spite of all the wonderful things about the Eurodam, it just didn't fit my personality. So as I write this review there will be pros and cons.

Our time in Amsterdam was made so much easier and enjoyable because of CathandRich (Americans living in Amsterdam). We arrived early in Amsterdam and enjoyed sightseeing in the Netherlands and Amsterdam. I can't say enough how beautiful and friendly the people in this country were. I recommend spending as much time in the country/city as you can. It is worth the time.

Embarkation could be classified as enjoyable. We had tables and service to help us enjoy the wait until our number was called. Lines were short and people friendly.

Cabin Review

Superior Verandah Suite

Cabin SS

We were in stateroom 6099 which is a suite mid-ship. I will have to say that the room was disappointing because it was so small. Vale and Natalie were 3 star Mariners and they also commented that the Eurodam has the smallest cabins of all the Holland America ships. Our stateroom was comparable in size to a Princess Mini-suite with a balcony. The Eurodam suite was far more expensive than the Princess Mini-suite.

We had a mini-refrigerator, jetted bathtub, good sized shower, double sink, 3 large wardrobes, a sleeper couch, table, 2 chairs and a stool, 2 desks and a queen-sized bed. We had a fairly large TV and DVD player. There were 10 different glasses in our room of various sizes. In the shower and bathtub there were three containers on the wall, shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap. They also had the best lotion I have every used. The bathtub also had a place to hang your hand washables. I liked the door to the balcony (not a sliding door). The deck furniture was wicker and the floor surface was wood looking. The colors were dark brown and orange with blue accent pillows.
