Best HAL ship for Alaskan cruise for first timer?
leerathje replied to Sigyn's topic in Holland America Line
Koningsdam, becasue you said you like food. I would be lost without the Tamarind, and sushi while on my way to Alaska? YUM! As well, one of the best places to grab a snack is the Grand Dutch Cafe. The pea soup is, again, YUM! Plus, I do appreciate the NY Pizza. The Pinnacle class ships have better food options, imo. L. -

Cancel Original Cruise or Depart New Cruise Early?
leerathje replied to cwd79's topic in Holland America Line
I'm curious why you booked the 11 day partial Panama instead of the 16 day Zaandam, if it is the Zaandam that you wanted to be on? L. -

Koningsdam Cabin Location Advice For Multi-Generational Trip
leerathje replied to dlca1's topic in Holland America Line
They are huge! As a matter of fact, I have one booked on the Rotterdam next spring. But one other thing to be aware....half of your verandah is open to those on the decks above you as well, so perhaps no "exposed" sunbathing! 😁 L. -
Depneding on where you are under the Lido. We were in 8085...close to mid elevators, but you can hear the plate trolleys going over the ceramic tiles of the Lido.....thack, thack, thack, thack.... Didn't matter to me because I can sleep through a hurricane, but it drove DH NUTS!! He had a tough time going to sleep during the late opening of the Lido. L.

Koningsdam Cabin Location Advice For Multi-Generational Trip
leerathje replied to dlca1's topic in Holland America Line
I've always liked deck 4, except for the fore section. You could find that the World Theatre might get noise, as you are above it. Mid is not much of anything, and aft is the 2nd level of the MDR. If you do decide to do Club Orange and want to stay on that level, the extended balconies (VB) at the aft were great for us. We were on the Koningsdam and had 3 verandahs side by side by side, and we could easily fit 5 on one balcony. L. -

And these are photos of the outdoor pool. It is at the aft, and as you can see in the second photo, there are plenty of loungers behind the pool as well. L. -

Here's a couple of photos of the "indoor pool" on the Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam's sister. You can see what RuthC is talking about regarding the second level. L. -
