Honestly, this is the way reviews should be done. I’ve watched tons of reviews on KZbin and almost all of them are merely ship tours with only positive comments. I love that you share likes and dislikes as well as the perspective of plus size cruisers. Thank you so much - keep it up! I’ve subscribed as a result.

[@PopularCruising]

We really appreciate your feedback! Thanks for watching and subscribing! ~Jason

I miss the pronunciation of the foods in all of the restaurants. We have been watching for years. I get now married, presenting both of you, but I miss the originals. I hope you go over the ship with the original voiceover and fun quirky commentary like wishing the digital workshop featured macs instead of PCs. I swear you had a tour of Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam before renovations, which I would love to see again for nostalgia. You are our go to commentary for Holland America!

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks for the feedback. I did one of our traditional reviews for Koningsdam when it first launched, so this was a supplement to that. But not to worry, more of my regular reviews will still be coming. Thanks for watching! ~Jason

[@rameshend-polioferris5014]

Loved this review Thanks ❤

[@PopularCruising]

I’m so glad! Thanks for watching! ~Jason

Our favorite spot on the koningsdam during our 2022 September Alaska cruise was the Crows Nest. A beautiful spot for an early morning specialty coffee with an outstanding view and super comfy chairs.

[@PopularCruising]

Completely agree! We love an observation lounge! ~Jason

[@daleniehaus4309]

Totally agree about the main stage. We were on the 12/3-12/10 2022 cruise. Got tired of only "dancing" in the theatre. Would love singing and dancing, or production shows.

[@timh869]

it is ironic that we booked for this ship in May coming up.... looked up review on the ship in general and just so happens your review was done in the room number we have booked. So glad you said which one it was, and looks so much nicer that expected. Super Helpful Video.

[@PopularCruising]

We're so glad! We hope you enjoy the room as much as we did. Bon voyage!

[@sarahal-abdulrahim8307]

When are you going on the Alaskan cruise? I’m going on the same cruise this summer 😊

[@PopularCruising]

We’re still finalizing details, but we’re targeting the July 15th sailing. ~Heidi

[@sarahal-abdulrahim8307]

Ok we’re going on June 10th.

[@CruiseTipsTV]

Love this format so much! ❤

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks Sheri! 😁😁

[@mikebernard1385]

Well? That was cute! It’s a good format for you two. So much food. Did you get to try any wines? Lol. I hope you get to take more cruises together. This review of cruises as a couple is made for you two. I’d forgotten this was the family Christmas cruise. It was awesome you got mom and dad in there. They’re a hoot! Hugz!!

[@ArtsyCupcake]

You look like your dad! They seem like wonderful cruise mates - how fun you all got to go together. 😃

[@PopularCruising]

Yup, we all had a fun time together!

[@audiored]

I've been thinking about booking this cruise for November. This has really helped to make up my mind.

[@PopularCruising]

We're so glad! Thanks for watching! ~Jason

[@daleniehaus4309]

OMG I am an organist and did not see the organ stops. Where was that???

[@PopularCruising]

It was on deck 7, starboard side, between the Neptune Lounge and the aft if memory serves… ~Heidi

[@MommyandAuna]

Great review thank you!

[@PopularCruising]

We’re so glad you liked it!

[@susananderson618]

Great video...we are booked on Konsingdam 18 day Hawaii cruise for January 2024 and we have the Have It All Pkg...can't wait!

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks so much! Bon voyage! ~Jason

[@amyjohns4359]

First thank you for this I really enjoyed it. I'm going to to do the Koningsdam for my big 50. As a fellow plus size woman thank you for discussing the seating. Also I loved that one floral (blouse dress )

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks Amy! Please do Rudi’s for your birthday dinner - you won’t be disappointed. I hope you have the best time on your cruise! ~Heidi

[@johnnolan5579]

You make me want to get back on one of these ships. Loved the cream puffs, the great shower and, Caneletto!

[@PopularCruising]

CREAM PUFF! ❤️ ~Heidi

[@Scotts-CruiseTravel]

Fantastic video. Love seeing both on film. So exciting. ❤

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks so much! We really appreciate it! ~Jason

[@ChuckLMI]

Really enjoyed this video and also both of you presenting it. This was the first time seeing one of your videos, and have already subscribed with all notifications turned on so we won't miss your future videos. You mentioned you will be taking another cruise on the Koningsdam to Alaska this summer. You wouldn't be on the July 1 2023 cruise would you? It's going to be our first trip to Alaska and also our first time on Holland America. --Chuck

[@PopularCruising]

Hey thanks Chuck, so glad you enjoy our channel! We’re not quite finalized on the summer sailing yet but I think it will be more mid-July. You’ll have to let us know what you think of the ship! ~Heidi

[@PopularCruising]

Oh and Alaska is our FAVORITE place to cruise. You’ll love it!

[@ChuckLMI]

@@PopularCruising Heidi, we'll let you know. Would have been nice if you were on the same cruise. Didn't realize we'd be celebrating both July 4th and Canada Day on our departure day. Will be interesting to see if HAL does any special activities gor both holidays.

[@johngrissinger6463]

Yep. Really nice seeing you.

[@midshipcinema]

What a fun romp with you two! Well done! :)

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks, Peter! We sure appreciate it! ~Jason

[@mollyology1015]

Loved this! ❤

[@patricksterling7389]

I love the spiral stairs😃

[@PopularCruising]

The spiral stairs themselves are nice. It’s just the pollution they bring that is bothersome.

[@TAFR224]

Another amazing video review! 😃

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks so much! ~Jason

[@BrianAlt]

I totally forgot to get the affogato .

[@PopularCruising]

Dang it! Gotta get back onboard and try again. 😀 ~Heidi

[@planedudea380]

Great vlog and editing!

[@PopularCruising]

Much appreciated! ~Jason

[@erichansen6169]

I prefer your regular complete ship reviews. I don't drink mixed cocktails so that part was wasted on me. I also didn't get much out of hearing what you ate. I have been on the Konigsdam and I ate none of the same things you did so that part was wasted on me too.

[@PopularCruising]

Understandable! I also have a full regular ship review on my channel of the Koningsdam. ~Jason

[@seanli9769]

The dance shows were meh when we sailed on Koningsdam to Alaska the past summer. Can't see ourselves sailing with Holland America any time soon. The entire ship just felt so boring with little to nothing to do at night
