i am on a 18 nights med Rivieras cruise on the Rotterdam nowadays, embarked 22nd April 2014.
just want update you all and those who might think of getting a cruise on this ship that we are deeply disappointed as a lot of problems going on with the 17 years old ship.
at first when i booked i thought it would be nice to cruise a modern classic such as Hal and Rotterdam, what soon cleared as a mistake:
1.at embarkation, we found our balcony dirty with rusty furniture and falling pieces of white paint...(we booked BQ spa CAT.)
2. 7 Days of un working toilets!! once was a tank problem, second was a blockage third was a failure in vacuum ... every day a new adventure... we complaint to front office - no compensation ! could you realise this?! I just want to do my needs at midnight and the lady at the reception advices me to go to public toilets!! with pyjama...
3. geriatric manifest...80 years old plus.
4.we done many cruises on celebrity, cunard, p&o, msc...noting like that. never had so many problems (with toilets particularly)
5. Holland america is showing off with the fresh flowers : "flowers flowers everywhere"....well its more like "RUST, RUST EVERYWHERE"... ship is rusty and not well maintained. lifeboats with rust, hull with rust... windows are dirty all cruise long
that's all....we are trying to enjoy but its is a hell of a let-down.
p.s we never use wipes on ship toilets in case you thought so as the ship's hotel manager thought (and still thinking)
