Holland America Rotterdam review after our ABC Islands cruise: an honest vibe check on the food, Music Walk, crowd, and whether Holland America Line is only for older cruisers. We were reluctant to try Holland America Rotterdam — and we could not have been more wrong. This is not a full ship tour. It is our honest review of what this Pinnacle Class ship actually feels like at sea: Main Dining Room and afternoon tea, Lido Market buffet, Dive-In burgers, NY Deli, late-night pizza, Billboard Onboard dueling pianos, Rolling Stone Lounge, B.B. King Blues Club, theater shows, and an inside cabin on Deck 1, including what we paid. If you are on the fence about Holland America Line or comparing Rotterdam to other cruise ships, watch this first. It was the most fun of any ship we have been on. Have you sailed Rotterdam? What is the best cruise-ship food venue you have ever tried? Drop it in the comments.
