Not what it used to be - being handicapped is a problem

We are 3 star, almost 4 star mariners. We like Holland America for its itineraries and its staff. Let me be clear: for the most part we enjoyed our cruise. Our cabin was very comfortable and spotless. Our stewards were very customer oriented. Our excursions were great fun. However, from the beginning things were not as good as they used to be. Embarkation with Orange Status should have been ...

This is our first HAL Cruise, and I’m sold. My wife and I have been on just about every cruise line, but finally we have found our niche. Holland offers everything I want. The ship is spotless, the crew most hospitable and professional. The services on the ship from dining to cabin service top notch. For those who are concerned, there are multiple closets and under-bed drawers that are very large. ...

This is the cruise that ruined Holland America for us

We were so disappointed with HAL, that we will not sail with them again. It was a 30 day cruise (the 16 Day Cruise listed here plus a 14 day cruise attached). This was our 4th cruise with them and prior to this, we couldn't say enough good things about them. This time, it was awful. There were many issues with the food, the entertainment, issues with our stateroom, rude behavior by staff (not the ...

We have sailed 7 times on HAL and have always enjoyed the cruises. This was the first HAL cruise that did not meet our expectations. While the service and crew members were outstanding as usual, our main complaint was the quality of the food and the food selections in the MDR. Many times at dinner in the MDR our server did not ask if we wanted a drink or wine with dinner and rarely were we asked ...

We were using up the last of the Covid Future Cruise Credits on HA. This cruise had the itinerary & timing for my Wife's Birthday & Mothers Day. The ship has many nautical miles under her keel. but has been kept up to HA Standards. We were in Cabin on AV at the stern of the ship on Deck 1. It was a handicapped room, but the engine room noise was only a bit of a nuisance in the large bathroom. ...

Worst Cruise Line

This cruise was the first of the year to Alaska for Holland America this year, 2023. We had heard favorable things about a Holland America; however, the cruise line failed to live up to any of the expectations that people had set for us. It began by having the board at 11 AM without our cabins being ready nor leaving until 5 PM. All of the passengers were directed to the Lido deck, where they ...

Noro Virus, long lines, and so-so food

I chose Holland America for its good reputation. My cruise experience was very unpleasant and difficult. My cabin-mate got noro-virus, as did one-third to half the people in our tour group, and many other people on the ship. It was not being spread between cabin mates, so it must have been spread through dining services. I was told by medical that I was responsible for caring for my cabin mate, ...

This was the last of off a series of cruises that took us from SE Asia to Seattle. And it was the most enjoyable one! The ship is old, but still very nice and comfortable and tech friendly. Wifi worked great, the App was useful and did have a good chat function. The cabin was spacious and well equipped. But we did have some issues with the TV remote and changing batteries did not help. Food ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and our previous experience on the Rotterdam, last summer. Overall, the cruise was average, with a lot of hit and misses. The embarkation process in Vancouver was awful…hours in lines..3 times through customs, no explanations or set expectations as to how long this would take. Weather was poor for the first week and gale force winds caused the ship ...

EVERYTHING CLOSES AT 1130 -1200 even on the night they move back an hour at 2:00am. Its a vacation that feels like a prison for the elderly. I just want enough time to use my drink package but ya know be sober until noon. I dont understand why people choose to lie, if I ordef something that has chanterelle mushrooms on it and I receive buttons I feel cheated. This applies to things labeled ...
