Additional details
Embarkation:
Checking in and getting on board was pretty average. We needed wheel chair assistance and our helper was excellent. A big plus was that cabins were available by noon when boarding began.

Cabin Review
Verandah Stateroom
We were in a veranda on the sixth deck. The cabin was uncomfortably small. Holland prides itself of offering larger cabins than other cruise lines. Not so on the Koenigsdam. I heard many cruisers complainIng about the size of all cabins. The shower, however, was quite large even though the bathroom was pretty small. Our location was in the forward third of the ship, starboard side. It was quiet and very convenient to the elevators leading to the fitness center, theater, sun deck, Crows Nest, etc. it was not near the dining venues however.
Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
Clean and new. Much like Falmouth, Jamaica and Costa Maya, Mexico. Venue was built for cruise ships.
Curacao
Did some sightseeing as most activities were in walking distance.
Aruba
Being a Sunday, most businesses did not open until 10 AM. Easy to get around and friendly people.
Bonaire
Small but easy to see things on foot. Good restaurants and friendly people.
