Disappointed by HAL

We chose this cruise because we prefer traveling with HAL and it was a planned destination. The food and cabin were clearly HAL worthy but the on-board activities and excursions on this ship were a disappointment. The cabin steward, table steward, and wine steward were all excellent. The food was prepared well and the presentation was great. If any complaint it is that they didn't keep the ...

This cruise was a small group of a dozen like-minded cruise friends who had been chatting for years and eager to meet and cruise together in person. It was also a retirement/40th anniversary cruise for my husband and I. We arrived in Amsterdam two days ahead of the cruise. AMSTERDAM Our group was booked at Doubletree Hilton Centraal Station pre-cruise. Being close to Centraal Station, the ...

Prior to our cruise we have stayed at the Hilton Shipol Airport Hotel. Nice Hotel and close to the Airport Train Station. Train to Amsterdam Centraal took about 20 minutes. During the summer Holidays the Hotels in Amsterdam are rediculus expensive. So we found a good deal with this Airport Hotel. Taxi to port was about 20-30 minutes. Price was 45 EUR incl. tips. Our cruise started from VCK ...

Ship: Lovely new ship, everything is lovely and new. Public areas are really nice. Shame the smoking is still allowed in the casino and its in a public area you have to walk through, it also spills onto the deck below. However we did feel the ship felt crowded in public places like we haven't seen before. Especially with only 2 pools, the covered one was exceptionally busy during the day in ...

We are three sisters and our 88 year old mother. We pick this 14 day cruise to the Norwegian Fjords because it goes to 8 different ports and no overlap. Koningsdam is a new ship, that is the reason we picked this ship. We cruise at least once a year with mom and we have been cruising over 10 years. We pick the cruise according to where we want to go. When we read the reviews, we were kind of ...

Missus Charlie and I just returned from the Northern Isles cruise. We upgraded during the last pre-cruise week from guaranteed Veranda to Neptune class stateroom 7052. The crew was exceptionally friendly and attentive. Particular plaudits to the Culinary Center, Pinnacle Grill, and Ocean and Explorer staffs. The entertainment was as expected. The on-board troupe occasionally appears to ...

We chose this itinerary because it offered us 5 days in Iceland. We also enjoyed 2 days in Norway and 2 in Scotland. The Ship was a little dated, however the service was great. Our stateroom (Neptune Suite) was spacious and well-appointed. We had access to the Neptune lounge, which provided food all day and an excellent concierge (Mae, you were great). The Spa was excellent and we ...

Zuiderdam - Norway, Iceland & Scotland - 14 day cruise

Embarkation/Disembarkation: Both were handled very efficiently in Copenhagen. Ship condition: Some of the reviews I've read about the condition of the ship make it seem like the Zuiderdam is an old rust bucket on its last leg, which is certainly not the case. I didn't notice any worn out carpet or furniture on the ship and it was kept very clean. That said, it is an older ship and the décor ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary; we wanted to cruise the entire coastline of Norway. We went to 8 Norwegian towns: Stavanger, Eidfjord, Alesund, Trondheim, Honningsvag (& North Cape), Geiranger, Bergen and Flam. Visiting Norway did not disappoint; it was a lifelong dream fulfilled! The scenery was so beautiful, spectacular really. The sheer awesomeness of the fjords was so much more ...

2nd cruise on Koningsdam. much better this time around. Room attendants were excellent (yamin and Sri) both deserve a bonus from HAL. Lido food was very good, however did become very redundant. Bathroom in room was one of the best. the shower to die for ! Entertainment was average at best. Josh and Ingrid played the same music over and over. Still NO LIBRARY. Young and Old love to ...
