This was our second cruise on the Maasdam, the first being a 10 night cruise in April 2013. We had enjoyed that one and were happy to cruise on the Maasdam again.

We like the size of the Maasdam very much. We find it easy to navigate around and you don't have to walk for miles to get everywhere. We were happy with our cabin - an inside cabin on the main deck, midship. It was small but adequate size, the bed was very comfortable,the room had very good air conditioning, and was kept in great shape by our steward Lili. He filled our ice bucket every day and most days left us a towel animal.

The ship is scheduled to go into drydock after it's holiday cruise, and I think it needs some TLC. Overall she is in good shape, but a little worn around the edges. One thing that needs looking at is the toilet system. Our toilet worked fine for the first 10 days then all of a sudden it would flush only intermittently. Also, toilets around the ship would have an out of order sign for days at a time. Read more
