Children are not forgotten with Club HAL. The club caters to three to twelve-year-olds and offers all sorts of wonderful entertainment. The kids absolutely love it and it also gives Mums and Dads a chance to have some time out as well.
The other highlights on the Oosterdam were the wonderful staterooms (large and cheerful with excellent furnishings and extremely comfortable beds and a room attendant who delighted us with his 'animals', made using bath and hand towels), dinner in the Vista Dining room (with exceptional staff who really made the cruise with their interaction with us and magician’s tricks), and dining in the five star Pinnacle Grill again with fabulous staff.
Top class entertainers in the Vista Lounge included the Oosterdam’s show cast, Las Vegas magicians, and comedienne and Australia’s very own virtuoso piano and vocal entertainer Shelly White (we became Shelly’s very own cheer squad, Aussie style).
Holland America Line definitely has the wow factor. I found the Oosterdam to be one of the best cruise ships I have sailed on. Knowing that all the HAL fleet are very similar in style and fit out and offer the same wonderful experience, there are obviously lots of places around the world left to experience.
