I agree with you, Jacqui. We were on the October 2022 Oosterdam TA with you and enjoyed it so much we sailed the 14 day April 2023 TA and 7 day Mediterranean on the Oosterdam. We were pleased to see so many of the same staff including the great Captain, Hotel Mgr, waiters, guest services staff, and our favorite bartender...all the same from October 2022. We, too, plan to sail on the Rotterdam TA this October and hope we like it as well as the Oosterdam. We were on the first TA after covid on the Rotterdam in the fall of 2021...only 900 passengers and it was amazing. We look forward to returning but know there will be more passengers this time. During our last month's cruise on the Oosterdam, we learned my sister had passed away. It was bittersweet to be so far away from home. The next day, a staff member knocked on our cabin door and delivered a beautiful bouquet and letter from the Captain and staff offering their heartfelt condolences. My heart was touched by this generous gesture. And so, I will add, the Oosterdam feels like "home" to us and we have booked the October 2024 TA on it...so don't hesitate to cruise on the Oosterdam...the staff is incredible and will make you feel at home.
