JennysUncle Posted March 3, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2018 An experienced cruiser, but new to HAL, has made several blog postings with a thorough review of the ship and his cabin, including lots of excellent pictures. They date from late 2016, but I do not recall seeing links to this blog earlier in CC. His comments, not biased by expectations of HAL tradition, are interesting. https://hideousjourneys.com/2016/12/28/holland-america-line-ms-koningsdam-ship-tour/ https://hideousjourneys.com/2016/12/29/ms-koningsdam-holland-america-line-balcony-cabin-review/ https://hideousjourneys.com/2016/12/29/ms-koningsdam-holland-america-line-greenhouse-spa-salon-photo-tour/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbecker6469 Posted March 3, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Well Done! Having sailed on the K'dam twice now, I can say this is the best review I have seen anywhere. Pics are excellent and really gives someone who is not familiar with the K a good idea of what the ship looks like. Thank you for your efforts sharing.

JennysUncle Posted March 3, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Just to clarify - if I get any credit, it is just for posting the links. It was the author of the "Hideous Journeys" blog who wrote the excellent review. By the way - he has interesting reviews of some other ships too.

KirkNC Posted March 4, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Very interesting, we will be on the K’dam for the first time in a few weeks. Some of what the review highlighted I like, some not so much but we will have a good time either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybear Posted March 5, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks for sharing this! A very balanced review, though the toilets look strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhsocal Posted March 10, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Lady Arwen, did the public areas seem crowded on the "K"? Will we notice much difference from the Vista ships? There is a Southern Carb. cruise next January that looks interesting, trying to convince ourselves to try the "K" Thank you for your thoughts.

stickey_mouse Posted March 10, 2018 #18 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Lady Arwen, did the public areas seem crowded on the "K"? Will we notice much difference from the Vista ships? I'm wondering the exact same thing. Looking at the Nieuw Statendam for Europe in 2019. And yes, wonderful blog!
