Excellent first time cruise

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We are first timers, so we were a bit apprehensive. However we thought ship was excellent esp. staff, service, food, and most of all the classical quintet in the Lincoln Center. Other plus points were the gym, quiet areas around ship, state of decor. The food and service in the MDR were top notch , including afternoon tea every day. The cabin service was very good, prompt and polite. A ...

We took a land tour first. Our tour directer Merrin was incredible, knowledgable and very pleasant. All of the land tours we took were fantastic. We boarded in Skagway. Embarkation was fine. The first night dining experience was wonderful. Our waiter was pleasant and wanted to do a good job. He even asked if we had any allergies to food. I did. I told him I'm very allergic to ...

First up, the good. Our room was nice...actually bigger than we thought. The daily service for the room was excellent too. We found the floor staff very courteous and attentive. As for the bad, well, my wife and I found it very difficult to communicate with most of the staff on board. I will go out on a limb and say that english is not their first language and several times we just had ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This was my first cruise ever and I've wanted to go to Alaska for 17 years. I chose this cruise because it went to destinations other cruise lines did not cover. I had friends that told me I would love cruising. I saved for over a year to take this trip and the entire thing ended up being over 15K (excursions, expenditures, etc.). I was guaranteed a BB stateroom (navigation deck) and ...

Don’t Buy Soda Package and Other Stuff

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

My in-laws chose to go on this cruise to celebrate their 54th wedding anniversary and was my first cruise. Made the mistake of buying their soda package for about $70. The Dining Rooms have one specific person (the Wine Steward) for the zone you sit in and you can only place your soda order with that person. That person holds off coming to your table until 1/4 to half way through your meal ...

This was our second Alaskan cruise and Alaska did not let us down. The weather was great -83 degrees in Haines! But such a relief from Texas heat. Plus, the air was so clean and fresh. My sister and I were about the average age of passengers and there were few young people or kids. We took a Bear Paw shuttle from Anchorage to Seward and it broke down along the way. Our driver was a pleasant ...

Had two nights in Vancouver, including a City & Capilano Suspension Bridge Park tour with Gray Line/West Coast Sightseeing, before boarding the Nieuw Amsterdam. Took a private Limo transfer with Pearl from our hotel to the ship. There was a bit of a queue through customs/embarkation. The ship and our cabin/stateroom were good. We had 4091 which was a partial obstructed view cabin. ...

We have never been to Alaska before and have never sailed with Holland America. We chose this itinerary because it had more time on land than at sea. We flew to Anchorage on Monday for a tour beginning on Thursday. HA picked us up at the airport. They took our luggage and loaded it on a bus. The driver took us to theCaptain Cook Hotel while telling us about the area. We were greeted at the hotel ...
