Review for a Alaska Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s
We sailed on this cruise with a good sized group of friends to celebrate some birthdays. We had a great time overall but were left with a few disappointments at times. Some things that were great - the itinerary, the Cabin and attendants, overall ship cleanliness and conditions.
Some things that were challenging - Their was a push about the ship and lines entertainment. There was only ...

We chose Holland America because of their long experience in Alaska and were not disappointed. The scenery was as spectacular as we had hoped for and the ship docked in the most favourable berths at the three ports. The cruise director was both efficient and knowledgeable. The wildlife expert, Kurt, was highly approachable and available outside on the expansive open stern deck 9 whenever there ...

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Westerdam

We did a cruise with two other couples on the Westerdam round trip out of Seattle to Alaska.
Some of the pluses:
The ship was in very good shape for its age and didn't generally feel overcrowded.
The indoor pool and hot tubs were nice since the weather outside usually wasn't nice.
The promenade deck went all the way around the outside of the ship which was great for exercising with ...

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Noordam

We chose the Southbound Glacier Discovery cruise on the Noordam because we wanted to see as much as possible of the great Alaskan coastline in a 7-day period. This included both Hubbard Glacier and Glacier Bay National Park.
If you are doing this cruise, I would venture to say that arriving at least one day early is almost essential for most people in the lower 48. Connections are not great if ...

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Eurodam

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
This is a great cruise out of Seattle. If you fly into Seattle the same day that the cruise departs Seattle, Holland American will transfer your luggage to the ship. If you stay at a hotel the night before the ship leaves Seattle, the same service is provided. Boarding and off boarding the ship was very easy and pleasant.
PROS:
-The staff on the Eurodam on a scale of 1 to 10, and ten ...

We live in the Seattle area, so this was an easy cruise to take. This was our first post-pandemic cruise. It was the 3rd time we'd cruised to Alaska. And we had a good time.
The pros - it is awesome to go on vacation someplace nice, and Alaska is beautiful. The ship was friendly and well run. Things seemed a bit lacking compared to pre-pandemic, but nowhere near what I had feared.
The cons - ...

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Volendam

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s
I did HAL's Alaskan itinerary out of Vancouver, visiting Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, and Ketchikan. This is an absolutely beautiful part of the world, and definitely well worth it if you're thinking about going. Since I'm in Canada, having the option of departing from a domestic port (thus a domestic flight) is nice.
The Ship: 4/5
The Volendam is one of the oldest ships in HAL's lineup. ...

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Koningsdam

I just got off a 7-day Inside Passage Alaska cruise on Koningsdam. Overall, it was a great experience, though with one disappointment many may find surprising given Holland America's reputation. It was my first cruise on Holland America and my first cruise period in 13 years. This may be useful context when putting my review in perspective.
First, the itinerary. Alaska has been on my bucket ...

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 ...

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 ...
