Who Rotterdam Suits
Rotterdam skews adult. Children are welcome and there are supervised clubs, but the experience is built for grown-ups.
Holland America skews adult. The line runs a Kids Club for ages 3-17, but the onboard atmosphere is oriented to adult travellers, and on the older Rotterdam-class ships the Kids Club is explicitly not offered on all sailings. Pinnacle-class ships do offer Family Staterooms.
- Kids Club (ages 3-17)
