Holland America Line
Holland America's 2,668-guest Rotterdam debuted in 2021 as a model of elegant and thoughtful design geared for cruisers of all ages and walks of life. The ships public areas are infused with abundant light through full length windows and boast quality furnishings and fittings that are inviting, practical and comfortable, without being overtly edgy or pretentious. Traditional cruise fans will appreciate the new flagship spectacular Explorera Central/Crow Nest observation lounge, a well-stocked library, the Lincoln Center Stage part time classical music venue and a main dining room designed by star-chitect Adam Tihany that has an ambiance and scale recalling the grand ocean liners of yesteryear.
Stateroom accommodation:
All, such as the 228-square-foot Verandah Stateroom are intelligently designed, with a veritable smorgasbord of electrical outlets that include three American plugs, two European style plugs and one USB port by the desk, plus one American plug and one USB port on each side of the bed(s). Adjustable bedside reading lights are a thoughtful plus for those who want to enjoy a late read without disturbing their cabin mate.
Dining on-board:
Rotterdam has ten restaurants and eateries to choose from, four of which are for fee. The included Dining Room offers both fixed and open seating with varying food quality while room service is among the best available and complimentary, to boot.
Daytime and evening entertainment:
Rotterdam’s main theater is the 714-seat World Stage, a state of the art, 270-degree almost-theater-in-the-round, with hi definition LED screens that extend well into the room’s perimeter. Shows included BBC Earth presentations backed with live classical music from the Lincoln Center Stage players and high decibel productions with pre-recorded contemporary music performed by a troupe of live dancers and, occasionally, live singers. It was all technically dazzling but after a couple shows, the overall spectacle lost its wow factor by relying too much on digital effects, making one pine for the old fashioned, 3-dimensional stage sets and more organic song and dance stagings of yore.
