Hi Dave, Great review. My wife and I returned from a cruise aboard the Koningsdam three weeks ago and were so impressed with across the board food, service and accommodations that we decided to go again on one of the signature class ships. We love the Eurodam and the Nieuw Amsterdam in the same class, size and layout. We're holding a booking on the Amsterdam for End of March in the Pinnacle Suite. Decided to look at the reviews here and literally ALL of the reviews in Dec 22 (ended yesterday) were super critical and poorly rated. We were thinking about pulling the plug on this and walking away until we read your review. Thank you for reinspiring HOPE. In most cases whether you enjoy a vacation is pretty much up to you and your expectations (although food quality is critical and out of your control - so I hope it's not as bad as touted in the december reviews for this ship).
We took a top level Spa suite on SEABOURN 6 months ago and the entire crew was untrained by Seabourn Standards and we felt like we had been robbed after paying so much for the fare.
On HAL, We always book Neptune or Pinnacle suites and one of the reasons we wanted this ship is that all of the newer larger ships have club orange, which we hate. We loved eating breakfast in the Pinnacle grill (reserved for Pinnacle suite level guests). So we are post pandemic now and hoping for a wonderful experience with great food. I would love it if I had a method to correspond with you directly. Drop me an email: Len at MD dash Jobs dot com. thank you for your positivity and even handed review.
