We have been on a cruise on the Veendam. How would you compare the Prinsendam SS cat to the Veendam S cat? and anyone been across the Atlantic from FL to Portugal in May? Seas still rugged? Thanks!

I sailed the Prinsendam for the first time Dec 15th 7 nights in cabin 004. I have sailed in cate S's on many of the other ships and the Prinsendam cabin was very nice. I peeked into the cate SS and they were very nice as well, more in line with a cate SS on a vista class (a bit plainer, more floor space do to what lookd like less furniture). The P-dam is very different than the other HAL ship, she is special due to her size and atmoshere. You will love the ship if you are looking for a quiet, real ship experience. The ship deos move a bit though, nt sure if it was having a cabin on deck 12 but it did move!

We spent 113 days in an SS on the world cruise. we were very pleased with the cabin. We have been in Cat S on Noordam, Westerdam and Prinsendam, but not on the other HAL ships so I can't make a direct comparison. An SS on Prinsendam is smaller than the Vista S's that we have been in, but it is laid out in a way that makes it seem quite roomy.
