We were in a VB veranda on Deck 5 and have previously sailed with RCCL and Celebrity. There have been mixed reviews of the Noordam of late, but we found little fault and the experience exceeded that of our RCCL cruise and came close to that of Celebrity.
The stateroom was in fine condition with no faults of note and it was well attended to by Tee and Dodik. The air con worked efficiently and the bathroom was in great order.
We found the food to be of a high standard, the As You Wish section of the Main Dining Room work well, we got tables quickly and there were no delays in the service. The food came cooked to the correct level, the portion sizes were just right, and if you wanted something extra it was never a problem.
The stateroom was in good order and all facilities were in full working order. A good location close to the front elevators, though the elevator chimes did get a bit annoying, but we're not intrusive. There is a clear view fore and aft from the veranda, it is equipped with two wicker chairs, a footstool and small circular table.
