The Prinsendam is the small HAL ship and is an old gem- it has the highest no. Of repeat passengers. That being said, it is subject to mechanical problems. Initially, the air conditioning was not perfect, but they managed to fix it before we reached the Amazon. Our room was fine with a walk in closet and full bath facilities. The food was excellent in all the areas. Unlike the larger ships, there is no sandwich area, but the salads etc were good. We had one meal at the Pinnacle and enjoyed that.
The service is excellent, thanks to the wonderful Indonesian and Filopino crew.
The entertainment by the ship's singers and dancers was very good and the guest entertainers were varied.
