Ship was extremely crowded. Embarkation took hours. Layout of the ship is confusing. A lot of people mentioned their difficulties with the ship layout. Ship is old and needs a lot of repairs. Wires hanging. Elevators required long wait times. Ship specialty restaurants were all booked as well as afternoon tea. So disappointing to not be able to eat in one at least once. Food in dining room also ...
We booked this 4 night Alaska Preview cruise because Airfare was less to fly to Vancouver than it was to Southern cruise ports. My sister was interested in doing a longer Alaska Land & Cruise tour package so this sampler cruise was perfect way to get her to see a Vancouver, Ketchikan, and Seattle. Honestly, this cruise could not have been more perfect! Weather was so perfect every day, I packed ...
We went on a miniAlaska cruise from Vancouver, ending in Seattle. The checkin process in Vancouverwas poorly organized. We ended up standing in line for over an hour. The ship itself is OK but in need of upgrading. Staff for the most part were friendly and helpful. We disembarked to have lunch in Ketchikan. When we returned there was a very long line to get back on the ship. Only one ...
My sister and I were excited to experience Alaska, and we especially wanted to see whales and the beautiful scenery.
This was my first cruise as a Platinum Latitude member. Expedited embarkation was excellent. The behind the scenes tour was great. Loved having the additional specialty dining meals and the free bottle of wine. We took the transfer from the Anchorage airport to the Seward cruise ...

hi all.
This was a 10 day cruise from vancover to hawailli as she goes to the land of the aussie. a good mix of people and we all were looking forward to a cruise cruise to an amazing place.
we arrived at the ship and were shocked at the state of the exterior of the ship, Rust, peeling paint around those once pretty blue window frames arouns the pool area. glass looked like it had not been ...
After doing months of research, I chose this cruise for my family to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday and for him to see the B.B. King show. Well, this cruise was a big disappointment. Before we even got to go onto the ship, I had to argue with one of the staff about getting (5) five wheelchairs for us. Then after that was finally settled and no, I only received 2 wheelchairs, we walked on board ...
This was our 2nd cruise on Holland and 4th Alaska cruise. Last year we were on Royal Caribbean and were in and out of the glacier in an hour. This time we were there for several hours and got to within 1/3 of a mile of the glacier. Lost count of how many times the glacier calved in front of us. Weather for the cruised ranged from the roughest night I have ever had at sea the first night out to ...
We had an absolutely amazing, enriching and unforgettable time on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Everything was perfect; the staff with their caring attitude and always smiling faces- Riben, our cabin steward was wonderful! Megan & Meso at Photography, all the cleaners (everything was spotless, which is incredible given that 2000 passengers were onboard!) and Lido staff - how they manage to keep on smiling ...
We really enjoyed our cruise, the destination was fantastic, we enjoyed all the Ports. Alaska was very pretty and absolutely fascinating. The ship was lovely and well looked after with many good communal areas. We had a Vista Suite which we were very happy with; good sized room and balcony and very comfortable. The experience in the main dining room was very positive; very good food and choice as ...
