Statendam Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Ship is 20 years old. Refurbed in 2010 but still a 20 year old plant.
Check-in was fastest in 20 cruises. 10 minutes. Inside cabin was adequate and clean. Good water pressure and temp. comfortable bed, good storage, good light. Had loveseat, small coffee table. TV adequate. Got off the Freedom of the Seas last fall and now can say I like Statendam size BETTER than the Mega ships. No it doesn't have a boulevard down the middle of the ship with a Morgan sportscar parked next to the wine shop or zip lines or rock climbing walls (after all it is Holland America) but it does have the traditional promenade deck for stolling and leaning against the rail and you can wrap up in a blanket (provided for you),sit in a deck chair and watch God's handywork slide by.........if you can keep your eyes open. I was in nap Heaven.
Food was the best of all cruises (RCCL, Carnival, Princess, Costa, NCL, Disney).
Cabin Review
Standard Interior Stateroom
407 Deck 6, clean inside cabin. Big enough, very good storage, comfortable, quiet, bathroom big enough, super clean. Cabin is conveniently located a few steps from access to the outside Promenade deck and 1 deck below the main dining room. Also generally disembarked from deck 6 or 5 so it was easy on, easy off all week. When we pulled into a port, got noisy while docking. Didn't bother us too much since we were so tired from playing the day before.
