This was my third cruise on a Vista class ship within one year and my 27th cruise overall.
The Oosterdam is a sister ship to the Zuiderdam, thus no surprises. The only difference was the color scheme throughout the ship.
Holland America does a superb job overall. The more I sail with them the more I appreciate their efforts. Overall the cruise was wonderful with one minor exception with breakfast in the dining room. A new waiter just couldn't get it together and service really was lousy. I found the Hotel Manager and mentioned the problem and voila we were treated very well every morning after.
