2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose Holland America line as we were told it was the best value in our price range. Overall the cruise was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Premium restaurants were great and were very accommodating. Main dining and buffet is as you would expect. Entertainment was good but didn’t offer any real variety and with a ship full of folks everything was crowded. The excursions were the best part ...

Disappointment in Holland America

The thing that made Holland stand out from other Cruise lines and was a tradition is now gone. On every Holland ship you could count on there would be a Priest. But now you are like any other cruise line a real disappointment. Embarkation was a slow painful process it seems that Vancouver is becoming harder and harder to board. The ship was fine and the personnel were pleasant and ...

We’re back cruising again! This cruise is fundamentally different than the dozen or so others that we’ve been on, as it’s the first one “sailing” north that we’ve been on, and by north I mean we’ll end up at Denali National Park in Alaska and not dealing with tropical heat. In fact, parts of Denali are above the Arctic Circle. You can’t actually cruise to Denali as it’s deep in Alaska’s ...

Onboard life good, but in-port experience poor.

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Eurodam

Overall, post-COVID life on the Eurodam was about 95% of what is was before the pandemic. We sailed a few days later (May 20, as opposed to about May 12) than usual, and although we noticed some cuts, ship life was still good. The cabin crew is outstanding, the ship was clean and attractive, the food was very good (we like the Lido for wider selection), and lectures were also good. This year they ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was our first cruise, so we started with a big one. First about the ship; it was the perfect size for us. We were not traveling with children, so we were not concerned about having a lot of high-energy activities on board. There were plenty of things to do onboard during sea days, and of course the main thing was to be out on the decks enjoying the beauty of Alaska. We really enjoyed each ...

Alaska is a must-do, HAL is a must-avoid

My wife and I just returned from a 7-day trip on the Holland America Eurodam from Seattle to Alaska. At the top I will say Alaska is an absolutely must-do destination. Despite our issues with Holland America and the Eurodam, every single stop on the itinerary in Alaska brought at least one “wow” moment. Unfortunately, the ship and line we decided to sail with, the Holland America Eurodam, was a ...

Our worst ever cruise, never again with Holland America, a money grabbing fiasco.

Nice ship, pity about the rest. No evening entertainment, a dance trip for 45 mins twice and a 4 boys singing once in the “show room” doesn’t cut it. Cold food Always! and and the buffet room was way too small for 2500 people, a bun fight at the OK corral, never any seats, and that was whenever you went. Rolling Stones tribute band (120decibels) competing with a repetitive “blues band” (pity they ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Friends invited us to join them on a cruise to Alaska. I've never been on a cruise before and was really nervous about being on the water. It was perfect weather for t shirts and shorts the entire trip. We went to Juneau, Sitka, etc. We saw whales, black bears, sea otters, seals, eagles and lots of seagulls. There were very few vegan or plant based options. Only almond milk as a non dairy ...

I'll break this into pros and cons. PROS. The ship is a perfect size with a good layout. It is generally clean. Very little vibration and mostly at the back. Seemed to be in good repair. I found the beds a little hard but my wife liked them. THE FOOD. Generally good and better than many other lines. Buffet selections varied from day to day with some common themes like Asian, Carving ...

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

I was desperate to cruise again after 3 years of Covid restrictions. The price was right, the itinerary was familiar, and I had not previously sailed on Koningsdam. I achieved 4 Star Mariner status on this cruise so I believe I had reasonable expectations based on 195 Holland America days at the start of the cruise. The ship is very nice but has a starkness about it. The staff, as usual, were ...
