Need to advise outside of restaurants what is extra fees

The ship is beautiful but when you first board onto the ship it's very new to everyone. Your welcomed into restaurants that have the fees and expenses and your not advised. They ask for cards and not tell you that the restaurants have additional prices. Things can add up very fast when you're unaware if it's on your package or not. When you have elderly and if your elderly are not in a ...

We just got back from an 7-day Alaska cruise on the Eurodam. The service was impeccable. The food isn’t gourmet, but it’s quite good for mass produced fare. (Except the steaks at Pinnacle Grill were as tough as hockey pucks. ) We stayed in a verandah room with a balcony. There is plenty of room for storage. But the cabin is showing signs of wear (chipped furniture, moldy shower curtain, rusty ...

We did this same cruise on Volendam 14 years ago with kids and friends. It was our first cruise ever. But goes to show you can’t relive things twice…. What worked? -great weather and scenery -calm seas -overall very friendly crew -consistently clean cabin, cabin steward made silk from a sows ear -performers and dancers entertained with passion and enthusiasm. Grace in the piano ...

My group of friends and I have not been on many cruises. We heard this ship and Holland America in general was a step up from the other big name cruises, particularly for adults without accompanying children. We heard accurately. This ship is fantastic and the entire experience far exceeded our expectations in each area that was important, from the embarkation to the cruise to returning to dry ...

My husband and I chose this Cruise because of family. From the reviews I have read recently. it seems that all the lines are having trouble post Covid. This was our first time on Holland America, and to be fair, the service was excellent even if short handed. The waiters and room staff worked very hard to please everyone. We found the food to be awful. Tasteless, overcooked, and mostly ...

First cruise: a decadent adventure

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Our cruise was from Vancouver to Vancouver up through the inside passage and Glacier Bay. It was our first cruise, so Cruise Critic was a huge help in knowing what to expect and feeling prepared. My husband and I were traveling with our adult sons (24 and 26). We booked two separate cabins, one balcony room and one inside cabin. We got an email a week or so before leaving home with an 11am ...

Very clean ship, crew was great, the food was not good

Well....I figured Holland was on the upper end of the cruise lines so we booked a 7 day to Alaska on the Eurodam. I gotta tell you, I go on cruises to enjoy the hell out of the food. This was a MAJOR disappointment! I will say that the "sit down" Dining Room food overall was pretty good, but we like to do the buffet mostly. Holland (at least on this ship) has one of the crew "serving" ...

A veteran of 15 cruises including previous Holland America but had never done Alaska. Although the cruise highlights were terrific, the Volendam and Holland America unfortunately were not. While the Lido Market had a wonderful buffet with a great selection of fresh foods, the main dining room was poor in comparison to past cruises. My main complaint was with misrepresentation on the menu. What was ...

We chose this cruise because our local AAA office hosted a Holland America‘s presentation. One of the benefits they claim of booking with Holland America was that they were the only ship that actually docked at port, without having to tender passengers to land. This was actually not true, many other cruise ships were able to dock without tendering their passengers. My first negative experience ...

Alaska Cruise was a Tourist Trap

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I chose this cruise as an anniversary gift to us both. We wanted a more quiet, adult cruise. Less children. Smaller more quaint ship. The Eurodam gave us much of that. Neither of us had ever been on a cruise. I thought seeing Alaska, the glaciers and wildlife would be nice. I can tell you that our cabin suite was marvelous. Spacious. Beautiful. King bed. I'm 6'5". Cleaned every day. The shower was ...
