Ship: Rotterdam

Terrific Itinerary with excellent service for the most part. We had a wonderful vacation. the tour guides were excellent, the ship was really nice, the service was excellent. The only glitches were the waiting times to get back on the ship at the Tender ports. Otherwise the trip was excellent.

Beautiful Weather and Countries by kamalei63

Sail date: May 11, 2024 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Rotterdam

This was a great itinerary, the Scottish highland and Islands were extraordinary, the Isle of Man was very eye opening and is a beautiful place and we loved Norway, even places we had been before we did other things. Our weather was exceptional for the time of year, completely smooth seas and the ship is beautiful. We loved spending time before and after in Amsterdam, the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum always on our list, but also walking the beautiful parks and hanging out is small jazz pubs as night. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. And the Rotterdam is a very beautiful, well run ship.

Great entertainment on Rotterdam by edwinkugler

Sail date: Apr 13, 2024 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Rotterdam

Liked the cruise. My wife likes sea days with their restful pace and I like playing bridge. Finding that the ship had bridge instruction and a daily game was unexpected but a great joy. What I like about cruising is the food and the entertainment. The Rotterdam cruise was great.

The crowd is a little conservative, do not expect partying like Carnival

Check your preferred Music Show times and adjust your dining room time around that on your first day.
