Although if one is a coffee snob, the bars/cafes that have barista made coffee should be preferable. The lido machines are automatic bean to cup machines.
The thing is you could ask 20 different people and get 20 different reviews. I had my first "cruise" on QM2 at the weekend, and on QV in January. I much preferred the feel of QV, however slaughtered I might get for saying that.
Given the bathrooms are identical to those on the HA Pinnacle ships, they need to keep on top of the grouting on the plastic tiles. It looked awful on Koningsdam.
Maybe I'm being unduly critical but I thought the seminars in the World Stage on Koningsdam were a bit weird. They were given by the cruise director who wad reading off an autocue. Kinda wondered what the point was..
I'd take the Canadian inside passage over most of those tourist trap ports in Alaska.

The CIP was absolutely glorious on Friday on Koningsdam.
If anyone sees any pictures or videos of a regular balcony cabin (not club), please do share the link!
Edit: I see a photo from Richard on the previous page.
Thanks for this. I rang them and they offered me an upgrade to an ocean view cabin (from inside) for £58 ($72USD) for my 7 day Alaska cruise this weekend. The other option was a family ocean view for £78/$98USD.
Not wishing to jeopardise the transatlantic special relationship but Coffee Mate is work of the devil. The worst bit about hotel rooms in North America.
As I mentioned previously the OBC shareholder perk credit was showing on the app for a day, then disappeared. An updated PDF statement from HA shows the correct amount - so perhaps a bug in the system.
I also have the issue where my OBC has disappeared from the app. Had the Stockperks email yesterday and it was showing the $100 on the Holland America app but now it's gone today.
I took a two night cruise on QV in January. Just had the $28 service charge randomly refunded out of the blue. Has anyone ever experience anything similar?
