The new Holland America (HAL) Eurodam ship is fabulous! This was my second cruise, the first one being with Carnival. Funny thing, the cruise with Carnival was more expensive than HAL and no where near the quality.
You can do as much or as little on board as you want. There is a full day of activities, from culinary workshops, to technology, karaoke, shows, and more. We brought a number of books, which never got cracked as there were too many interesting things to do on board. The cruise director, Jason, is fantastic and funny. We also had one of the worlds top magicians, James Cielen. He is not to be missed!
The food was remarkable, esp the Tamarind Restaurant for fine asian cuisine served in a romantic setting. The Lido restaurant and Rembrandt Dining room were wonderful, with a great selection of food every day. The Rembrandt had a special menu every night, always a four course menu including great fish, seafood, beef pork and chicken.
Our cabin was small, ocean view, but had tons of storage space, we couldn't believe how creative HAL is when it comes to storage. You can bring quite a few large suitcases (they fit under the bead), lots of closet space with hangers, lots of shelves, etc.
Bed was very comfortable.
Room was immaculate, fine white linens, towels and robes. Every night you will have a special towel animal on your bed with chocolates.
Several outlets on the desk, as well as great lighting. Bathroom was very clean and new.
All in all, cabins are very well appointed!
