Oosterdam Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We went took the 7 day Alaskan cruise out of Seattle. This was our 2nd time to Alaska on the Oosterdam. We had Signature Suite 8065 and our 2 friends had a Verandah just down the hall. This review will be just some random thoughts. First, if you are thinking about Alaska a balcony is a must. IMO. Worth the extra $$.
General Pros: if you want a relaxing cruise this is it! No hairy chest or mixologist contests. No pushy photographers in your face all the time. No drinks being pushed hard. Plenty of nooks and crannies to sit and watch the scenery or read. If you want to party hard this is not the place. I had read how the ship shuts down at 11pm but there were plenty of things going on that started at 11pm for night owls like me. As much as Carnival? No. But plenty of options.
Cabins: The upgrades to the suite are nice. Huge HD TV and an abundant choice of movies to watch or news or sports channels. Love the outlets for charging electronics.
Cabin Review
Signature Superior Verandah Suite
Signature suite has plenty of room for 2. Storage would be tight for 3. Love the new big TV with lots of movies. More outlets to charge items now. Service was good. Ice bucket filled twice a day. No noise from the LIDO above. But did hear a banging from a cable connected to a lifeboat on a particularly windy day.
