The Rotterdam lacks the classic beauty and profile of an ocean liner, but it's an impressive looking, comfortable, roomy ship. Our cruise was near the 1,400 passenger maximum, yet we seldom noticed crowding. The dining room is beautiful and spacious. Public areas are bright and attractive, and offer plenty of nooks for sitting.
Decks contain adequate space for walking and ocean viewing.
There's a pleasant movie theater complete with recent movies and free popcorn, an excellent workout facility, a casino, a library, and several bars with decent live entertainment. One swimming pool is outside. The other is inside under a glass roof that opens in good weather. Nearby are two jacuzzis. The ship's decor is overdone and gaudy in places, but not displeasing.
