Sail Date: Jun 2014
Traveled with children

I sailed with a large family group on June 7, 2014.

We left from and returned to Seattle and took advantage of the pre and post cruise hotel and transfer package with the Sheraton Seattle Downtown.

The ship was small but spotless. The crew and staff were extremely friendly and polite, although many of them do not speak English.

Cabin Review

Because the cruise was a gift from my mother we had outside rooms with windows (we were in a king bed room and my daughter was in an adjoining 2-twin room) on the First Floor (Rooms 1960 and 1962). I prefer a room with a balcony, but honestly didn’t miss it much on this trip. It was too cold most of the time to leave the door open. My mother, grama and Aunt C were in a Neptune Suite on Deck 7 (7045). That room was the family “clubhouse” for the cruise and her giant balcony was available whenever we needed it.The rooms were nice. I think that all cruise cabins feel shockingly small when you first step inside. I’m not a huge fan of the Holland America MS Amsterdam color scheme (the beige always feels old and yellow-y to me), but there was really plenty of room. There is tons of storage: four closets, drawers in the desk AND bedside tables and we didn’t even notice the drawers under our beds until the cruise was over.
