I\u2019ve cruised a ton and one of my all-time favorite ships is the Holland America Koningsdam. In fact, I\u2019ve sailed on her twice and do hate repeating trips! A few years ago, I sailed round trip out of San Diego to the Mexican Riviera. This is a great itinerary especially if you have been there, done that with the Caribbean. A year and a half later, I sailed Holland America\u2019s Koningsdam from Vancouver to Alaska and it was just as good as I remembered. Whether you are looking for a tropical vacation or an Alaska cruise, keep readying for my Holland America Koningsdam review.<\/p>\n

Holland America Koningsdam Review<\/h2>\n

Sailing on the Holland America Koningsdam was my third and fourth Holland America cruise. Previously, I sailed on the ms Veendam<\/a> with my family and I was on the Nieuw Amsterdam<\/a> for a travel agent trip. I really fell in love with the brand and the Koningsdam is one of their bigger ships.<\/p>\n

On the Holland America Koningsdam, for the Mexican Riviera, we sailed a seven-night round trip cruise to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta with three sea days.<\/p>\n

For Alaska<\/a>, the Koningsdam sails round trip out of Vancouver, cruising Glacier Bay, and stopping in Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway.<\/p>\n

Both of my Holland America Koningsdam sailings were seminars at sea where the cruise line hosts the agents and during the sea days we participate in classroom training on the brand and destination.<\/p>\n

The HAL Koningsdam is a great ship if you are looking to do some corporate trainings, seminars, and industry events. Our classroom trainings were in the Hudson Room down on deck 1 and during port days we were able to explore the beautiful ports.<\/p>\n

The vibe on the Holland America Koningsdam is great \u2013 there is really an emphasis on fine dining and amazing music \u2013 I was surprised at what a fun vibe there was on board, especially at night.<\/p>\n

The crowd on this cruise line is definitely older, but you will find sophisticated adults who like to have a good time. In the off seasons, you will find only a few kids on board, but during the summer season to Alaska and during school breaks, you will find plenty of families.<\/p>\n

Holland America is known for their longer (21+ day itineraries) and on those sailings you will find more retires and folks who have time to sail around the world. Literally! Holland America even offers world cruises!<\/p>\n

\"Notes<\/p>\n

Holland America Koningsdam Deck Plan<\/h3>\n

I always think the best way to get to know a ship is to look at its deck plan. Holland America\u2019s Koningsdam is a Pinnacle class ship, their biggest, holding around 2600 passengers. There are 14 decks, so it\u2019s not terribly large. Being on board, the Koningsdam feels intimate and \u00a0is easy to navigate.<\/p>\n

\"Holland<\/p>\n

Deck 1 is where the conference rooms are. There are some staterooms down here, and the shore excursion desk.<\/p>\n

Deck 2 is where most of the fun stuff is at! At the aft of the ship you have the main dining room, then the Club Orange dining room, and some of your specialty dining (Rudi\u2019s and Pinnacle Grill), Blend (wine creation bar), and then some of the bars and entertainment (BB Kings, the Rolling Stone Stage and Billboard Piano Bar). At the front of the ship you will find the world stage, the larger theater on board.<\/p>\n

On Deck 3, you will find the second floor of the main dining room (this Is where you will dine if you have set dining), the casino (which I did not like because it was very smoky in this area) and a bunch of really nice shops. BB King\u2019s has balcony seating, as does the World Stage.<\/p>\n

Decks 4- 8 are staterooms.<\/p>\n

Deck 9 has the gym, spa, pool, Dive-in, several bars, the buffet, Canaletto, and a second pool on the aft of the ship.<\/p>\n

Deck 10 offers more lounge seating around both pools. If you want sun, head to the back of the ship, there are plenty of loungers. On our Alaska cruise,<\/a> we also spent a bunch of time here in the hot tubs! Above the pool on Deck 10 you can find a nice bar and the New York Pizza take out.<\/p>\n

\"Main<\/p>\n

On Deck 11, you will find Tamarind and Nami sushi (in the way aft), and if you walk across, hit up the basketball and tennis courts.<\/p>\n

Lastly on deck 12, in the front of the ship is the very popular Crows Nest. This is a great observation lounge with a coffee shop and bar.<\/p>\n

Holland America Koningsdam is a small, but well-appointed ship with something for everyone!<\/p>\n

Cabins on the Holland America Koningsdam<\/h3>\n

There are several stateroom options on the Holland America Koningsdam, I\u2019ve stayed in both a verandah cabin and a Vista Suite.<\/p>\n

These staterooms have a bathroom with a stand up shower (it was pretty small but did the job), a nice closet with places to hang clothes and some drawer space. There is a safe, a refrigerator (its stocked with mini bar items but there were places to leave our waters)<\/p>\n

There is a nice couch, a TV and a desk area. We loved sitting out on the balcony! On our Alaska cruise we had an aft facing balcony \u2013 highly recommend.<\/p>\n

The Holland America Koningsdam has lots of great room options \u2013 interior cabins, ocean view rooms, and beautiful suites. My clients loved the vista suite on their Alaska cruise and we got to tour a Neptune Suite. For the ultimate in indulgence, book a Pinnacle Suite!<\/p>\n

If they are available that is there are only two on the ship.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On board, I did the get the inside tip as to what is the best cabin type to book into for your Alaska cruise \u2013 so definitely reach out if you are looking to book the Holland America Koningsdam.<\/p>\n
