Koningsdam Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We chose this cruise because we could sail out of Amsterdam during a trip to visit our son who lives there. We also chose this cruise so we could experience Holland's newest ship, the Koningsdam.
The ship certainly did not disappoint nor did Holland America (except for one item, more on that later). This was our first cruise on Holland, but have cruised many times on both Carnival and Royal Caribbean.
The ship was fantastic, with the highlights being the solarium pool and large outside movie screen. Despite the June weather in Norway being cool, in the mid 60's, we were always comfortable on deck and poolside during days at sea. Design of the ship provided warm temperatures and no wind, which made lounging around the pool or reading very enjoyable. This is not always the case on other ships. It was awesome to lay by the pool when the pool roof was open and enjoy the beauty of the snow capped Fjords!
Cabin Review
Large Interior Spa Stateroom
Loved the location of spa cabin on forward deck 10 level. Very convenient to pool and dining options. Liked the cedar 'rug' in the bathroom that kept the floor clean and dry.
Port Reviews
Alesund
Good port to explore on your own.
Bergen
Make sure you take the tram to see the scenic view of the city (I think they call it a Funicular). Check out the fish market and try the reindeer sausage with berry jam!
