Congratulations to the fabulous crew on the Noordam. No wonder you are voted the #1 ship in the Holland America Line. We enjoyed 20 of the best days in the Caribbean on this ship. We thought that we were going to feel that this was too long to be on board a ship and I must say, we were sad to leave.

Embarkation/Cabin

We embarked at 2 pm to waiting personnel. I will never again try to board earlier. Within 10 minutes we were in our room and our luggage arrived shortly afterwards. We had a VF cabin with a steel balcony and it provided us with an extra 2 feet of balcony space. There was plenty of storage under the bed including 2 drawers with additional storage in closets, night tables, overhead cupboards above the sofa bed, inside the cushioned stool not to mention the bathroom cabinets and under the sink.
