Ship is a smaller traditional cruise ship with all of the amenities of the newer larger ships but without being overcrowded and loud. Decor is very good but a refit is over due. Staff very professional. Cabin well thought out with a larger than expected balcony. Entertainment really good.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise, but I have to say that the Noordam, has some of the most uncomfortable furniture, that I have ever encountered! The seats in the theatre being particularly bad. No wonder the shows were so poorly supported. The quality of the acts was also very disappointing. On the other hand the staff and the food were exceptionally good.
