Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Nieuw Statendam
Rodinglane
10+ Cruises • Age 50s
This was our 5th HAL cruise and will probably be our last. Firstly, one of our main reasons for choosing HAL was the Lincoln Center Stage which has now been discontinued. As we are not fans of loud rock or blues music, that didn't leave us many music offerings on board that we could enjoy. We had always enjoyed Lincoln Center stage's performances and the high level of musicianship. But I ...

Very bad! The food terrible.
In the Lido, old salade cheese!
All restaurants fish have no any taste (Have been Frosen)
The Pinnacle only the Sirloin is very good the rest...forget it!
The Music, a little better than amateurs.
You must pay for everything on this boat!
The Crew is also not the best..and lazy..
The Tamarind is ok, but!! The special Rice Table is absolute not go ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
We chose the cruise because the dates suited our vacation and because of the destinations.
We boarded in Amsterdam and did the 12 days to Rome. The ship was very nice and the crew were great.
I thought the main stage entertainment was a bit boring and wasn’t for us. I actually fell asleep in one of the shows, that’s how much I thought of it. The comedian Jo Little was good but her humour was ...

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Koningsdam

2-5 Cruises • Age 20s
This is a long review because I have tried to convey things other reviewers have not. My husband and I are in our mid 60’s, have traveled extensively, and this was our fourth cruise: 1 with RCL and 2 with Princess. We had 14 day cruise through the fjords with HAL on the Koningsdam that was split into two seven day cruises returning to Amsterdam after seven days.
We did our own airfare. My ...

We were told the ship would accommodate our needs. Had Neptune "handicapped" suite. Had no assistance boarding ship, getting off at all ports, and leaving the ship when returned to Amsterdam. First time ever in 30 plus cruises this has happened. This despite wife being in wheelchair unable to stand at all, me pushing with 2 carry on bags, etc.. Arrived at cabin Fully Accessible (SA7094) to find ...

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Koningsdam

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s
We had a high expectations about our first cruise but unfortunatelly HAL did not meet them. At least we expected a "4*" smooth service, a great dining options and a quality entertainment already included in the price we paid. All those points were not met. Good thing: no disaster happened with us. We safely came back with a lot of photos in the camera. The rest was not so shiny as we expected. No ...

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Koningsdam
Bonum
10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Just returned from the Norgewian Fjords, beautiful scenery, pictures or film cannot describe the waterfalls, picture perfect villages, or the serenity one feels. However the Kroningdam was not what I have previously experienced on a Holland American Ship. The ship was boring, no lectures, not much to do when on board. It seemed that they were always trying to sell you something. I'm not a fan ...

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Koningsdam

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
We were very disappointed with our 21 day cruise on the Konigsdam. The main reason was the awful chaos and atmosphere in the Lido Market buffet eating area which made meal times unbearable. The design of the buffet area is very clinical - big tables all in a row with no alcoves like on other ships (eg Oosterdam) and no privacy away from the crowds. Others also commented, with one lady referring ...

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
It was my first time on HAL and the first time on the Koningsdam. The ship is brand new which sums up all the positive points about the ship. There were two things that ruined everything for me.
1. There is no kettle in the room. A thing which one expects nowadays from every 3-star hotel and was provided in all the other cruise ships that we sailed.
2. Though the food in the Lido (as well ...
