Creator's Key Takeaways

So, I have number seven for this cruise, which is a regular cabana that holds two people.

So your view is really not that great from any of these cabanas that are in the front.

So you probably want ones uh cabana that's on the side where you have a better view.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose a cabana on the side for a better view.
Rent cabanas by the day or for the cruise.

YouTube Video Description

If you’ve ever looked at @HollandAmericaLine Rotterdam and wondered what life is like up in The Retreat, this video is going to take you there. I’m give you a full walkaround of this quiet little hideaway perched on Deck 12 forward above the hustle of the main Lido Pool. We’ll check out the two different types of cabanas so you can see exactly what you’re getting — from the standard cabanas that are perfect for a relaxing sea day, to the larger family cabanas. I’ll show you where the best views are, because yes, there is a MAJOR difference in views! Whether you’re planning a future Rotterdam cruise or you’re just curious if The Retreat is worth the splurge, you’ll get a real, honest look at what the space is like and why it’s one of my favorite places to spend a sea day.
