Don't worry first time World cruisers (this was us last year) you will be drawn into the warmth of your fellow passengers and the staff, unlike anything you have experienced before. If you talk to those who have done somewhere from 1 to 20 World Cruises before, they came back for the familiarity, the welcoming and helpful staff and old friends that are now their cruise family. The itineraries are amazing, and if you are not sure what to do in that port, we had Kimberly Wells, the Cruise Director with her port talks to help you make a plan based on your comfort level. The guest speakers are some of the bests in their fields and offer subjects and topics to further educate us on our destinations. The giving community is strong on board, with Project Linus (498 blankets were made by fellow guessts), Silent Auctions and donations for Bernhardt Nordkamp Foundation, donations and a 1 mile walk to support On Deck For a Cause. If you love Pickleball, they have it. If you want to learn, take lessons, there held every sea day. Watercolor, Arts and Crafts and drawing and meeting to play games of all kinds are favorites of those who love to gather with friends or make new friends. The Daily is distributed each day and is jam packed with activities to keep you as busy as you want to be all day long. This will never get old for me, but when you do leave the ship for the day to explore this amazing new place or revisit one of the great destinations and you return to the ship at the end of day, you look up and you see in bold capital letters - WELCOME HOME, and yes it good to be home.
Pros: Hands down every time, it's the Staff.
Cons: The staterooms could use more storage. The Lido Market food is not always hot as I would like

We were in Quebec at the perfect time for fall foliage, but about 2 weeks too early on PEI and Nova Scotia. The staff on the Zuiderdam are very helpful and so very friendly.
Pros: Beautiful ports, nice scenery, some fall foliage, friendly and helpful staff
Cons: None that I can think of

The revised Itinerary may have not been the countries or ports that everyone would like to have visited but when a change is made for everyone's safety there's little you can do but embrace the change. With all of its Ports of call, there was something for everyone's liking. We were simply amazed and will cherish every moment we experienced during this sailing. We had some repeated ports and we looked at these ports as a new adventure, with just as much excitement as the first time. If you have been to this country or port before, think about what you wish you would have done or missed the first time around. And that's what we did. There are plenty of excursions to choose from to make your stay in this port memorable. Because of the time you spend on a world cruise, 128 days, you get to know all the crew. For this reason, the dining for all meals seemed special and made for me. There is truly something for everyone. The dining staff takes food allergies very seriously. Depending on your dietary needs, you will be able fill out your food choices the night before so that your meal will be available to you the same time as the person ordering off the menu. The activities, Theme Nights, Guest Speakers and entertainment will keep you engaged every day, morning to night. The evening before you would receive the Daily schedule to start making your plan for tomorrows Sea Day. Friends and Family that have not done this length of a cruise just don't understand what choices we have and think that you will be bored. I tell them, there is not enough time in the day to do everything you would like. So no, I never got bored. The captain, officers and staff do everything in their power to make this cruise a dream come true and for some a once in a lifetime experience. For just over four months the Zuiderdam is home. When you leave the ship for the day to experience the World in which you have traveled so many miles to see, you will be greeted by the banner and the staff "Welcome Home"
Pros: Officers and Staff, The Entertainment and Guest Speakers make this cruise an enjoyable experience.
Cons: Food in the Lido Market could be hotter. More storage in the stateroom

The onboard activities on sea days are numerous: arts and crafts (which are phenomenal), pickleball, abs class, tai chi, body conditioning, coffee with the cruise director and special guest, walk a mile, meditation, sit/knit and needlework with Project Linus (made over to 300+ blankets), morning devotions, tech for travelers (excellent!), art class, port talks, dance classes, bridge classes, guest lecturers, health seminars, singles and solos meetings, trivia, drawing class, mahjong, shuffleboard, afternoon movies, game time, afternoon stretch, PRIDE meet-up, footprint and posture analysis....those are the sea day events. Then add the evening entertainment, and you have quite a schedule! The ports talks are recorded and provide good information.
Pros: The crew are the BEST in the industry. They work hard to remember you and your preferences, your name and to make the voyage as special as they can. The ship was not full which made it even easier to find your own space and enjoy the activities or spend quiet time.
Cons: Menus are substantial but food is not consistently hot or cooked as you prefer. Live entertainment (from off the ship) is four nights a week plus the singers/dancers on the main stage = five nights a week - then a movie and it may be dark one night or a cultural show. Entertainment was good to very good (there is also the Rolling Stone Lounge, the Billboard/piano players, Explorers Lounge and Ocean Bar trio). This ship was not built for a world cruise so closet space is limited. When you ask, they provide portable drawers and clothing racks.
