Creator's Key Takeaways
Every single stateroom from the most basic inside cabin to the top suites comes standard with Holland America's signature Mariner's dream bed
The ship offers 495 balcony cabins, which means roughly half the vessel's accommodations include private outdoor space
The Westerdam maintains that traditional design element, which means you can take a proper constitutional around the deck regardless of weather
The documentation gaps are real and significant
