Yesterday 30/05/07 saw myself and two colleagues Mark and Nicola, travelling to Harwich where we had been invited to view the ms Rotterdam whilst it was in port at Harwich. As I have never been on a Holland America ship, I was excited to see how it would compare with other lines I have visited/sailed on. I was not disappointed. The ms Rotterdam is a delightful cruise ship, she is the flagship for Holland America Line's five star fleet. We firstly visited the staterooms that had been made available for viewing, all very spacious and well appointed, with room for a sofa and table even in the most basic inside cabin, obviously the suites were fantastic with the biggest balconies I have seen. Then on to the public areas, we braved the wind and rain to view the wicked teen only area on Sky deck complete with its own waterfall, loungers and hammocks. There is a great sliding dome cover for the main pool area - especially useful for UK ports! A brilliant and well equiped fitness centre is situated next to the Greenhouse Spa and Salon, sadly no time to sample the gorgeous treatments on offer. The Promenade and Upper Promenade deck are where the majority of the public areas are, and how beautiful too. Clever design has ensured a feel of intimacy and 'chic boutique' with each area individually decorated and adorned with the most stunning works of art and individual antiques. Breathtaking statues and ceiling frescos ensure each area has its own personality. Pinnacle Grill looked amazing and a reasonable cover charge of just $30.00 meant new passengers were queueing to book soon after embarkation. The Queen's Lounge theatre, with its comfy sofas for two, had space for everyone yet again felt surprisingly intimate and cosy. We were wined and dined in the impressive two storey La Fontaine Dining Room where the service and food were sublime. Sadly then time to leave - would I pick the ms Rotterdam for my next cruise? You bet I would she's a treasure.

I was lucky enough to visit the Holland America ship the MS Rotterdam for the day, when it was docked in Harwich before it set off on a Baltic itinerary. This was my first visit on a 5 star ship, and I could certainly tell the difference from the 4 star ships I have been on before. The ship was very impressive and from the moment we boarded I was amazed by the beautiful decor and fantastic facilities. We started our day by visiting the cabins on board, all of which where very spacious and well layed out, the Deluxe Verandah suite and Verandah Suite both had large balconies which had a small table and chairs on them, the Deluxe Verandah Suite had the largest balcony which also had 2 sun loungers as well as the table had chairs on it. Each cabin was equipped with a Flat screen TV and DVD player, a small seating area with sofa and table (I thought this was a nice feature as it gave you a separate seating area away from the beds especially a nice touch if you don't have a balcony to sit out on) and each cabin had a dressing table and plenty of drawer and hanging space. Once we had seen all the cabins we went to look round all the facilities the ship had to offer, the first area we looked at was the fantastic Teen area 'The Oasis', it was situated on the very top deck away from the main open decks which was perfect as I imagine it could get quite noisy and busy with lots of teenagers in it! It was equipped with it's very own waterfall, metal palm trees, deck chairs and Hammocks. This area is perfect for teens as it gives them somewhere to hang out and meet friends. Out on the open decks there where 2 sports courts one for basketball and the other for tennis, there was also an area for shuffleboard. At the back of the ship was an small outside pool with sun loungers around it, and in the centre of the ship was the main large pool this is covered by a sliding dome roof which is opened up on the hotter days, unfortunately it was a typical rainy day in Harwich so we didn't get too see the roof open but the area around the pool was brightly decorated which made it feel very warm. Back inside we made our way to the promenade and upper promenade decks which are home to the main facilities, walking around the ship there were fantastic works of art everywhere we turned and the ship was layed out fantastically each area flowing into the next. The Greenhouse Spa & Salon were beautiful and we managed to sneak a look into some of the therapy rooms which were fantastic and looked very relaxing. The Gym and aerobics area were situated in the same area and were full of all the latest equipment. The Queens Lounge Theatre was well layed out and had lots of comfy seats to sit on and enjoy the shows! After we had seen what the ship had to offer we made our way to the main dining room, the 2 tier La Fontaine dining room which was spectacular, and the food was amazing! We sat down to a four course meal with a choice of wine and the service was brilliant from the waiters, they made the dining experience second to none. After lunch it was time to leave, after our fantastic day! I would definitely recommend Holland America to anyone looking for a fantastic 5 star cruise, their attention to detail and fantastic facilities would a cruise with them a memorable experience.
