Overview
Holland America’s ms Westerdam is a premium family-friendly ship.
While onboard, the family can stick together or split up and enjoy the features they really want to see.
Mom can indulge with a facial at the spa while dad gets in on a pick up game of basketball. The kids will be busy all day and into the night at Club HAL where trained childcare professionals will be leading the kids in scavenger hunts and arts and crafts projects. Even your teenager will have fun at The Loft, a teen hangout where they can take tech classes and participate in a talent show.
The family can always regroup for a fabulous dinner and a show at the ms Westerdam’s Vista Show Lounge at night.

See above.
Pros: It was all good and well planned.
Cons: It might have been easier to fly direct from Vancouver to Sacramento rather than a stop in SF.

All in all, a wonderful cruise! Food was excellent in dining room, Canaletto's, Pinnacle Grill, and the Dive-In. Every member of the crew we encountered was very friendly, courteous, and accommodating. Good variety of entertainment and most was good (except the magician). Especially enjoyed Danny O'Brien on piano at Billboard Onboard. B.B. King's Blues Lounge was good. Selection of daily activities was fine--varied enough for most everyone. We had a cabin on the Verandah deck (balcony) and it was nicely appointed, though a bit small. Bed and other furniture was very comfortable. Really appreciated the traditional décor, statuary pieces, and art in the public areas. Would book this ship/cruise again.
Pros: Food, Ship's Decor, Crew, Majority of Entertainment, Activity Selection
Cons: Verandah Stateroom a bit small
