I was on the Aug. 15 Roman Empire cruise on the Noordam. It doesn't seem as if I was on the same ship as the other recent reviews. We had a great experience. Check in was very easy. We were on the ship within 15 minutes of arrival at the port. I was traveling with 18 others, and we had no problems. We had AYW dinning and had no problems. All 20 of us ate every night between 7 PM and 7:30 PM and never had a wait. The food was very good and there were many options.
We had a SS Superior verandah suite. It is not really a suite, just a larger room. It was very nice. Big bathroom with a tub/shower and another separate shower. There were two sinks. Large by ship standards.
I thought the ship accommodated the amount of people very well. There were always tables available in the Lido buffet restaurant, what ever time you arrived. We sat at the quiet pool at the back of the ship, and there were not always chairs available, but there usually were tables and chairs available.
