We have only two other cruises to compare our experience with the HAL Eurodam. The Cruise Critic review was very accurate for the Eurodam. We experienced excellent service throughout the cruise. The crew was helpful and gracious. Our suite was spacious. Not as efficient as can be. Our cabin was missing one closet because of an adjoining door. Nice touch with separate shower stall but it was not useable because water leaked out past the curtain and small ledge. We felt vibration of the engine when in bed but didn't bother us from sleeping.
Our dining experience was a mixed bag. Overall, the food was very good. The Pinnacle restaurant had excellent steaks but badly overcooked the salmon. The Tamarind restaurant's Asian fusion food was superb. We could see why the Canaletto Italian restaurant had mixed reviews. Some dishes like the cod, wine based pastas and desserts were well done. However, the dishes with tomato based sauces such as the putenesca and marinara tended to be very tart. The lasagna was soggy.
The dining in the main restaurants, Rembrandt and the Lido Buffet was always crowded, noisy and very difficult to find seats. When we went to late lunch or sometimes early breakfast at the Lido, it was crowded. The lines for food made some people show their rudeness to other passengers as well as the staff. This was the low point of our experience on the Eurodam. It also made us wonder whether we could recommend this cruise to others.
