Not to be the party pooper here with all this Maasdam love going around but we were on her March 2016 for an 11 day cruise and she had some air and plumbing issues. We were told that she has been sold and that may have accelerated repairs. Not sure if the problems are/were fixed, but assume they may have since many have said she's fine now. She is an old HAL ship and while regular maintenance can head off many problems, they can occur. It would have to be a very special cruise for us to go back on her.

My husband and I were on the Maasdam on the trans-pacific run from 1/29 to 2/22/17. It was our first HAL cruise. We found the ship, including food and lodging, to be comfortable and delicious, with the exception of the coffee, which was the worst we ever experienced. The staff was exceptional. The entertainment, however, left a lot to be desired. While some of the entertainment was excellent, most was boring and high-schoolish. The house entertainment group was talented, but not for the type of entertainment they provided. We would, however, definitely cruise on the Maasdam again.
