Dining onboard the Oosterdam is enjoyed in the 5-course Vista Dining Room, the reservations-only Pinnacle Grill, and the casual Lido Restaurant. Holland America also offers programs for kids onboard with Club HAL for kids age 3 – 12 and The Loft for kids age 13 – 17.

Holland America's Oosterdam receives high marks for its friendly and attentive service, excellent food, and well-organized itineraries. Many guests praise the staff and crew, the cleanliness of the ship, and the overall value. However, recurring criticisms include the ship's aging condition, limited entertainment and activities (especially for younger or more active guests), inconsistent excursion experiences, and expensive or unreliable internet. Some guests also noted issues with cabin quality and itinerary changes. Overall, the Oosterdam is best suited for travelers seeking a relaxing, service-oriented cruise, particularly older adults.
