Holland America Line: Prinsendam

Accommodations

Layout: Staterooms are spacious, but furniture placement and amenities within each category can vary. Only a handful of cabins are inside, but a mere 38% of outside cabins and suites have private balconies. Every stateroom has adequate storage for long cruises, and most have walk-in closets. Some cabins near the bow have portholes instead of large windows. Cabin selection must be made carefully; fortunately, the ship's deck plan is very detailed.

Amenities: All staterooms and suites are appointed with Euro-top mattresses, 250-thread-count cotton bed linens, magnifying lighted mirror, hair dryer, fruit basket, flat-panel TV, and DVD player. Bathroom extras include Egyptian cotton towels, shampoo, body lotion, and bath gel, plus bathrobes to use during the cruise. Balcony cabins have refrigerators.

Suites: Suites have a stocked minibar, and personalized stationery. Occupants have the use of the private Neptune Lounge, concierge service, predinner canaps, binoculars, and umbrellas for use during the cruise, an invitation to a VIP party, and complimentary laundry, pressing, and dry-cleaning service.

Good to Know: Eight staterooms are wheelchair-accessible.
