I especially liked the Neptune Suite which had an enormous balcony, complete with outdoor dining furniture and sun loungers. The Dining Room is the multi-level main restaurant serving tempting dishes like Tangerine Glazed Duck Breast. Indeed the menu is enticing, but I have to say that on my voyage the food wasn’t always as good as it might have been. There are a total of 12 passenger decks, the highest of which is deck 12.
Hour Room Service
Two lower beds convertible to one queen-size bed—our signature Mariner's Dream™ bed with plush Euro-Top mattresses, premium massage shower heads and a host of amenities are featured in these comfortable staterooms. Since 2023, all HAL ships have pickleball courts (installed on the top deck) operated via an exclusive partnership with PPA-Professional Pickleball Association. HAL also offers complimentary beginner lessons (led by onboard instructors), sells branded pickleball starter kits (at the ship's retail shops) and Play Pickleball tutorial videos are included in the cabin TV programming. BLEND is a glass-enclosed winery room (capacity 10 seats) where are hosted daily wine blending sessions.

These are reservations-only events (90 min sessions, $129 cover charge) with sommelier service.

The lounge is also used for pre-scheduled events by HAL's enrichment program (daily dance classes, trivia games, card playing, karaoke, live grand piano and HAL Cats performances/8-piece party band in the afternoons and evenings). Explorations Central doubles as a disco/nightclub (with live DJ music, dancing contests) and a Library (1000+ volumes, resident librarians). Here are additionally offered multimedia series of interactive videos and guides related to the current itinerary's destinations. Explorations Central also provides digital media (videos, ebooks, maps) accessed via Wi-Fi (during the voyage) and also online (before and after the voyage). At Explorations Central, there are also paperback books and paper maps for the visited regions/destinations and ports of call.

HAL-Holland America's 2024 Europe season to feature new itineraries & homeports
Passengers enjoy the redesigned headboards with electrical and USB outlets on both sides of the bed, as well as stone tops on nightstands and decks, improved lighting and more storage. MS Rotterdam staterooms (1340 total, in 35 grades) include 164 Suites, 748 Balcony, 147 Oceanviews (including 32x Family Oceanview and 12x Studios/single cabins), 280 Inside. Nearly 70% of the ship's passenger accommodations have private step-out balconies.
Most guests stay in Verandah Staterooms which I rate as comfortable, but modest in size. However, there are also big suites on the Rotterdam cruise ship for those who like more space. Many of the music venues have nearby bars, so it’s nice to enjoy music with easy access to refreshments. One of the new bars on board illustrates Dutch maritime history through its cocktails. Half Moon Bar, new in the fleet, offer a menu with an accompanying description of its customized drinks.
Inside Staterooms have no view, which means they are the least expensive type of accommodation. On my Rotterdam review voyage I stayed in a Verandah Stateroom which was modest in size, but nonetheless comfortable. It had a surprisingly large bathroom with a big, walk-in shower. In addition, Rotterdam has the popular Grand Dutch Cafe on deck 3.
I thoroughly enjoyed my French onion soup, Caesar salad and salmon with capers and dill. The menu offers several more exciting selections, too, some of which incorporate port-sourced ingredients. There are also several options for vegetarians and cruisers who can't eat dairy or gluten. In November, I sailed on the line's newest ship -- the seventh to bear the name for Holland America. MS Rotterdam (2021-built, fka "Nieuw Ryndam", last refurbished in 2023) is the 3rd Pinnacle-class liner in the Holland America fleet, with sisterships Koningsdam (2016) and Nieuw Statendam (2018).

Sing along, test your music trivia knowledge, or sit back and enjoy as chart-topping hits fill the room each night. Adriatic Sea trials were successfully completed in May 3-6, 2021, with the Navigation Bridge team led by Captain Werner Timmers and Chief Engineer Stefan Dullaert. The boat was officially delivered (at Fincantieri Marghera) in the evening of July 29, 2021.
The restaurant's centerpiece is a copper sheath surrounding the 2-story wine tower showcasing an impressive premium wine selection. Club Orange Restaurant occupies the area of the former "Culinary Arts Center". Culinary Arts Center was a premium dinner-only restaurant (cover charge $39 pp, unlimited wine included) via partnership with the “Food & Wine Magazine”.
The town was twice hit by severe storms from the Atlantic Ocean (and flooded) - in 1866 and in 1875. However, despite the vessel's on-schedule delivery (on July 30th), in June HAL canceled all departures thru November 3 (the entire European season). The Inaugural Cruise date was rescheduled for October 20 (14-night Transatlantic repositioning from Amsterdam to Fort Lauderdale). The new ship's maiden season was planned to be in Europe, with voyages in the Baltic Sea (Northern Europe) leaving roundtrip from homeport Amsterdam Holland. Follows the complete list of MS Rotterdam restaurants and food bars. The ship belongs to the Holland America class of ships known as the Pinnacle Class class.
