We embarked the Prinsendam at Amsterdam 0n July 12th 2012 for the fourteen day Norwegian cruise and then continued for a further fourteen days Amsterdam to Amsterdam visiting La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Hendaye,Bilbao, Dublin, Cornwall and Guernsey (St Peter Port). I have read some very good and very bad reviews of the Prinsendam but can only speak from our experience. I have categorized my comments:

Embarkation Amsterdam: Excellent procedures to board passengers from Terminal to Ship; no fuss, top marks. We had flown from Australia to Amsterdam to take this cruise and on arriving on board a welcome drink was not offered, identical treatment to our Eurodam cruise the previous year. As I said then; on cruises costing thousands of dollars per person surely a glass of house wine would not be too much to ask. It makes a poor first impression; many other cruise lines provide this courtesy and this was not a cheap cruise. Disembarkation was also excellent at the end of the cruise.

Stateroom: Unlike our previous Eurodam cruise (VC Category Balcony Cabin 5180) we chose to take an inside cabin (I187) on Upper Promenade Deck) and were happy with our choice, except for the fact that the cabin was directly above the Wanjang Theatre which unknown to us screened loud action movies till midnight in some cases (usually to an audience of three to five passengers). Our complaints resulted in some lowering of the volume but the noise in the cabin was still obtrusive. I would advise cruisers to avoid cabins in this area.

Stateroom (I187) was small but adequate, however it was directly above the Wanjang Theatre which unknown to us screened loud action movies till midnight in some cases (usually to an audience of three to five passengers). Our complaints resulted in some lowering of the volume but the noise in the cabin was still obtrusive. I would advise cruisers to avoid cabins in this area.
