My husband and I were on the maiden voyage of the Koningsdam in 2016, and we had the time of our lives (Dubrovnik, Croatia was our favorite port). This was our second HAL cruise (1st was on Zuiderdam for our honeymoon in 2006). We’ve cruised on Carnival (7 times) and Norwegian (1 time) as well, but Holland America is our favorite because the customer service is top-notch and the other guests are respectful. Our fellow passengers definitely knew how to have a good time, but they understood limits and boundaries, unlike what we’ve seen on other ships (mostly Carnival). The Koningsdam in particular was our favorite ship. In addition to fabulous staff, a relaxing atmosphere, and great food, the in-room TVs with free on-demand movies/TV shows and comfortable beds were worth the price of admission alone. Looking forward to cruising on Koningsdam’s sister ship Nieuw Statendam in February 2019 (Caribbean).
