With a large number of oceanview and balcony staterooms, the Westerdam provides the opportunity for guests to experience all of the sights and sounds of their vacation, and through the Window’s Digital workshop, guests can learn to share their experiences through technology. Dining is varied onboard from five-course menus in the Vista Dining Room to the relaxed Lido Restaurant, and guests seeking a more intimate environment can enjoy the Pinnacle Grill. The Explorations Café onboard features an extensive library and opportunities to relax and read while sipping coffee beverages.
Ship Reviews
Holland America Westerdam receives generally positive reviews for its service, food, and overall cruise experience, with many guests praising the friendly and attentive staff, clean ship, and well-organized logistics. However, some guests note a decline in food quality, service consistency, and ship maintenance compared to previous years. Entertainment and activities are seen as adequate but not exceptional, and some guests express dissatisfaction with shore excursions, pricing, and communication. Despite some negative feedback, the majority of guests enjoyed their cruise and would consider sailing with Holland America again.
Service is frequently highlighted as a standout feature, with many guests describing the crew as friendly, helpful, and accommodating. However, there are occasional reports of inconsistent service and staff cutbacks.
