Eurodam - 10/25 to 11/1 This was our first Holland America cruise so I don't know if the issues I had were normal for the line or due to the newness of the ship. We were celebrating our parents 65th anniversary and our party consisted of the anniversary couple, their 4 daughters, one son-in-law, and one 25 year old grandchild.

Embarkation - we arrived at peak time ( 1:00 ) and though the lines were long it moved pretty quickly. We went directly to the staterooms which were ready and dropped our carry ons.

Cabins: We were a group of 3 staterooms and had booked a "G" guarantee. We were all upgraded to "C" cabins midships all together on the main deck which was great. My sister had also booked a verandah cabin and was also upgraded. Very nice! I thought the ship was very pretty and our cabins were very nice. Plenty of storage although we didn't find out about the drawers at the foot of the beds, under the dust ruffle, until the last day. A nice touch was that they used real hangers that actually come out of the closet! Read more
