YesWe liked the fact that this was a smaller ship, with less passengers. Our cabin stewards were AMAZING! Very helpful and tended to our stateroom with so much pride in their job. A huge bonus, was the fact that each day there is a Catholic Mass on board the ship, such a treat for us. We found that the bartenders were not that friendly, and didn't seem to be interested in their job. The wait staff in the dining room was hit or miss. Some were friendly some, not so much. Overall a beautiful holiday!

We got a Neptune Suite for our anniversary. It was terrific. The Neptune Staff was dynamic. Our room stewards were the best. I got a villa on Half Moon Cay, well worth it.CONS
Desserts seemed to lack taste. The soufle and the Chocolate Lava Cake had the same taste. The soufle did not even come up past the top of the holder it was in. The Chocolate Lava cake came cold, with no melting chocolate in the middle. The Chocolate Surprise at night, had a few servers carrying trays of chocolate, but when it was gone, you never saw them again.RECOMMENDED
No<div>In the Lido Market (buffet) they had the names of the desserts on display, however, nothing was marked so you had to try to guess what name went with what dessert in the display case. One night, they had "no sugar added" chocolate. I guess I picked the wrong one because my blood sugar level that night was 395. In the Pinnacle Dining room, we went there for breakfast. My daughter ordered the pancakes on the menu and it said that it came with bananas and blueberries. When the pancakes arrived, it had bananas only. My daughter asked about the blueberries and the staff member said that they did not come with blueberries and walked away. A few minutes later, she came to check on us and I asked her for some blueberries and she then brought the blueberries. The presentation of the food was so bad we ended up talking to the Restaurant Operations Manager. He seemed VERY CONCERNED about the problems. (I can't say enough good things about him!)</div>

All staff were kind and considerate and helpful....a real mark of Holland America's cruisesCONS
Missed having a good ship's library....missed perks of old: ice carving on deck, kitchen tour to watch bakers, vegetable chefs decorate and carve food items; space for very popular activities not adequate: example: Lincoln Center Stage space woefully inadequate....a guest would have to go and hour or more ahead of the concert scheduled time just to get a seat; screening room was also too small for the audience it drew.RECOMMENDED
No<div>It has been nine years since we did deep water sailing, primarily with Holland America....and now we are ready to do more of it. We noticed some changes in the last decade.....we prefer the smaller ships but then we very much enjoyed the new activities offered with more space: The Lincoln Center Stage is a fabulous success....will probably choose a trip based on the availability of that offering. Missed basics such as trays in the Lido....am sure it better controls waste to have staff control the servings, but it is very awkward to try and carry several dishes and a glass to a table. Also, doesn't seem to be HAL without someone doing ice carving! As always with HAL, room and dining room stewards were top notch. Will look forward to sailing again with HAL very soon.</div>

Smaller ship (only 1980 passengers)CONS
Older ship, but going in for refitting Spring 2016RECOMMENDED
YesFor a first ocean cruise experience, the Oosterdam was fine. I prefer the size of the ship to the 4000+ mega-ships we saw en route: easier to get around and get off (although it was usually a bit of a scrum when disembarking). The food was good, and even though we had open seating in the main restaurant, we rarely had to wait, especially if we were willing to share a table. We enjoyed meals in the Canaletto (but they need to learn not to serve the pasta and the main courses at the same time), and the Pinnacle - both worth the extra money. Our stateroom with verandah was very nice, and a perfectly adequate size. Overall I would recommend the ship, especially after its refit which should take care of some of the normal wear and tear and signs of age it was showing.
