Customer reviews for Noordam
Excellent
The cabin, staff and food were fantastic, the only down side was the entertainment and excessive cost of tours.
Crew superb from cabin to dining. Food ok but never hot. Short on cooked vegetables, and different offerings on port and starboard sides, Starboard side closed early. Entertainment very good in Rolling Stone and Billboard, Stage performers good and varied. Particularly Violinist and Nicola Ward who were excellent. Unlike our previous cruise on Noordam there was very little maintenance activity during days at sea. Ports visited varied, some well worth the stop others not so. most amazingly no trip organised to Mount Fuji.
Staff were wonderful, they went extra mile for everyone, nothing was too much. Special thank you to Subash and his Asian Team. However Noordam is old and showing signs of old ship, evening entertainment was limited and only showing 1 film a day. We have cruised several times on Arvia and Iona therefore probably used to newer ships. Customs services is fantastic, every member of staff were very helpful and always smiling. Thank you for wonderful cruise.
