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 ...
We booked Aqua class, as had done several times before. Not worth it, and for much less, you get almost the same in other categories, like Veranda or Concierge.
Blu restaurant was always full, had to wait 15-20 minutes every evening, no matter what time we arrived. Breakfast is available between 7.30 and 9. Good but very slow. Seems they are short on personnel. Menu not as good as it used to ...
My wife and I are experienced cruisers. First cruise with NCL on a 14 day Cruise from Vancouver to Alaska return. The entertainment was excellent. The food quality in the Garden Buffet was very good. We went to the dining room on three occasions and found the food was below standard from what other cruise lines offer. The onion soup being served was poor. The salad was over dressed with salad ...
Our TA warned us that we would be "ruined" after sailing on Seabourn...he was so right!
From the embarkation to debarkation we were treated like Royalty.
Each moment was a new experience. The Staff met our every need.
Entertainment was over the top! Kudos to Robert amazing Cruise Director, and talented Singer!
Food was fabulous! Service great!
We did a Zodiak to the Misty ...
I have been on 3 cruises before, two to Alaska and one to Hawaii, all on Princess. The first trip was amazing. The next two cruises showed signs of cutting corners to save money, like no fresh cookies at promenade eatery and over half of the lights burned out in the string that goes from bow to aft, little things. So decided to try a Holland America cruise to Alaska on the Eurodam. There were ...
Spent far too much time and energy planning this cruise and cruise tour. The web site and app. is not user friendly and response time is hit and miss likely causing us to book our next cruise with another company. Otherwise I would have rated this cruise a solid 4, maybe even 5.
However, The logisistics and on board and on land service was excellent at all levels. This was our 2nd Alaska ...
This was my first Alaskan cruise on any cruise line and my first trip to Alaska in general. I only have other Holland America cruises to compare it to (but I am also a cruise nerd and binge cruise news and reviews for other lines and ships), so I will do my best to describe everything. I have been on Eurodam twice before, back when it was a "newer" ship and also in 2019. I have to say, comparing ...
This was our first cruise since the restart after covid. As platinum cruisers with Princess this was not our first trip by any means and we were interested to compare the before and after.
Royal was bigger than the ships we had cruised previously so we had some expectations of crowding which wasn't really an issue for the most part.
Bar and Atrium entertainers were great but the main ...
We have travelled with Celebrity several times and always found it to outstanding.
Unfortunately we did a back to back sailing from Vancouver to Alaska and then back to Vancouver.
The second leg of our trip was most disappointing. There were changes of crew in Alaska, who weren't as polite or friendly as those on the northbound trip.
On both north and southbound trips the food in the ...
