Entertainment

Lovely cruise, stunning scenery. I couldn’t fault a thing apart from the Lido buffet. Compared to the P and 0 cruises we have been on it was very disorganised. The hot water for tea and coffee was stored in a plastic container and not free flowing from a machine, hence lukewarm warm. I think this needs addressing. The entertainment and cruise director was top class. The staff on the ship, were great. Very efficient and very friendly. State rooms were very nice and we took advantage of the laundry service. We would definitely recommend Zaandam and travel with her again. Thank you Iglu for arranging this fabulous holiday of a life, you were as usual excellent.

Brilliant service throughout, especially from Made and Hari - the cabins were spotless twice a day and they couldn't do enough for us. Food good, bar staff excellent and leisure activities, classes etc were great. Good gym and facilities generally, not too many crowds anywhere, including the pools.

We did this as part of an Alaska Cruise Tour. Holland America have this well worked out, resourced and organised.

Zaandam is a beautiful ship, tastefully decorated with a feel of being on a large yacht rather than a ship. The food was very good, the staff were professional & polite. Our room steward was very conscientious, I felt he really cared about our comfort & was always available if needed. She is definitely a ship I would sail on again.
