Here’s a quick tour of The Retreat on Holland America’s Rotterdam, the quiet hideaway on Deck 12 forward above the main Lido Pool. I’ll show you my regular cabana, the larger family cabanas and the hot tub, plus which cabanas have the better views.

Key Takeaways
- Cabanas at The Retreat are available to rent by the day or for the whole cruise.
- I had cabana number seven for this cruise, a regular cabana that holds two people, with loungers.
- Family cabanas are a bit larger. One family rented two of them, and they opened up the wall in between.
- There’s a hot tub, places to sit and lounge in the sun, and more tables and chairs.
- The cabanas in the front don’t have a great view because of the dome over the Lido Pool.
- There’s a restroom right through the gate.
Good to Know
If you’re booking a cabana, try to get one on the side. The view from any of the cabanas in the front really isn’t that great because of the dome over the pool, and the side cabanas give you a much better view.
If you’re traveling as a family or a group, look at the family cabanas. They’re a bit larger, and if you rent two next to each other they can open up the wall between them.
