Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Noordam

Overview Rating: 4* (Joe) 5* (Joan)
What's not to like about a full suite, with the Neptune Lounge, Concierge Service, and breakfast in the Pinnacle Grill? With that, and our membership in the thermal suite and hydrotherapy pool, we were surrounded by luxury.
The ship itself was rather large for our taste, but there were some nice touches, such as the Explorations Cafe. The dining room was ...

I am from the UK, Gay and travelling with my partner and was unsure of what to expect of a cruise departing from New York, with a cruise line that i had read was renowned for its mainly older american crowd (i had only visited the US once before).
I had been on several cruises with UK based cruise lines and i have to say that overall the guests and staff on this ship were some of the friendliest ...

This is my 4th cruise and also a 4th cruiseline. (I cruised with Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian before this). Travelling with my parents, in-laws, DW and my 3 year old. Booked a VF Balcony and got upgraded to a VC.
From seeing the ship 3000 feet above as we are coming in for landing at La Guardia to actually boarding it some 3 and a half hours later, the ms Noordam is just as beautiful ...

We were first time cruisers and didn't know what to expect other than the multitude of information gleaned from Cruise Critic!
Firstly having just returned I have to say that I am now amazed at some of the little things that people whine about!
We had stayed in New York for three days before our cruise and also for one night after the cruise. This meant we had no timing issues. We left our ...

EMBARKATION. I flew down to Bermuda for a few days and flew to JFK the morning of embarkation. the flight was delayed an hour which worried me a bit especially after the taxi from the hotel did not turn up. I got a bus from JFK to Grand Central Stn then hopped on a taxi to the pier. Did not find the driver very friendly having I had to drag the case into the boot myself and he never spoke. On ...

Just a reference point, this is was the 13th cruise I have been on since January of 2005. I have traveled on Princess, Holland America, RCCL, Celebrity, Norwegian Caribbean & Oceania Lines.
Embarkation: Arrived around 3pm and there were no lines. Was on board ship within 30 minutes. Went very smoothly even though I didn't have cruise documents with me since I booked late. They were very ...

Holland America -- Noordam Cruise Review March 25 - April 5, 2006
My husband and I were first time cruisers. We spent our time researching the top three cruise lines, destinations, prices and chose HAL as our first cruise line. The Noordam was still receiving its finishing touches as we eagerly went through the floor plans, pictures and cruise reviews -- we would not be disappointed. In fact, we ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s
The Noordam is a gorgeous ship. It was, all in all, a favorable experience. We knew it was not the greatest itinerary but leaving from NYC where we live was a major factor.
The accommodations were spacious and beautifully decorated. We had two junior suites. I did think that a suite meant two rooms but this was one large room--plenty of closets and drawers and a very large balcony. ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
This was our first cruise with Holland America. Our perspective is from a history of 6 cruises including Holland, Royal Caribbean, & Carnival, no children, husband & I are near forty years old, we like to snorkel. The average age on this ship seemed about 65 or so, but we didn't mind one bit. Embarkation: the real only negative we experienced. It was unusually long, but, being a new ship we ...
