Noordam Review

Additional details
In October, my husband and I took the 10-day "Europe Mediterranean" on the Noordam.
The Good
We really enjoyed the night before debriefing about the ports of call that was presented by members of the cruise line both in person and on television. These individuals were very professional and informative in their presentation, and we thought that the debriefing was a nice touch. We are senior citizens with limited walking means, and found the ship not only clean but extremely accessible. Staff on-board the ship were extremely friendly and constantly attentive. The nightly entertainment was of high quality, as were the many concerts. Food was of very satisfactory quality, selection, and serving display. The stateroom was very comfortable and clean, all amenities were satisfactory. Departure and arrival times were always accurate, with the exception of the captain's careful decision to avoid a stop in Monaco due to very high winds. Additionally, online booking and telephone representatives were very friendly and informative.
Cabin Review
Large Ocean-View Stateroom
The Good
Bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Room service was excellent. Nice, unobstructed view. Very large window. Lots of closet space. Very large bathroom with a huge bathtub (as opposed to a standing shower only) and plenty of storage space in the bathroom for toiletries. Room had a sofa and coffee table, as well as a fridge. Water from the tap is drinkable, which we cooled in the fridge and saved money on bottled water. Very quiet - no engine/neighbour noise. Close to the elevator.
The Bad
Maneuvering on, off, and around the bed was a little difficult on one side due to tightness, especially for senior citizens or the handicapped.
Highly recommended room.
