Creator's Key Takeaways

I've cruised on more than 30 ships across six different lines.

The ship feels very premium no matter where you are.

I would recommend Roderdam to anyone except folks looking for a more vibrant energy on the ship and nightife that keeps going after 11:00 p.m.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Reserve a cabana at The Retreat as soon as you board, as it can sell out.
βœ“Use the navigator app to pre-order food at the dive-in and NYC deli.
βœ“Be aware of the strict dress code in the main dining room.
