Zaandam Review

Additional details
The cruise was a last minute decision and we were excited about it. We had been to Alaska twice before but this took us to two places we had not explored. The food in the lido deck buffet wasn't very good. By the second week I was tired of it, not enough variety and the desserts were for the most part dreadful. We liked the ice cream, fruit crumble and the bread pudding the best. The pie pastry was like shoe leather.
The dining room food was much better and I really enjoyed being waited on and many of the meals were really delicious, perfectly cooked lobster!
The Grill area by the pool had Mexican fare and pizza every day and was pretty good.
Cabin Review
Large Interior Stateroom
2609 Zaandam Midship inside. Clean and spacious, well ventilated, but it did have a constant noise. I think we were near something like water or sewer plant on the ship and there was a constant hum even when the ship was docked. We slept through it but it was slightly annoying. However we were on a ship and it has various parts to it that makes it unlike a hotel and that I guess is part of the experience. Cabin steward were wonderful.
