We were really looking forward to this cruise. Great itinerary with Copenhagen, Norway, Iceland and Scotland. Despite a decent off ship experience we did not enjoy the ship -
Recent poor reviews are accurate. It is consistently inconsistent and not at the standard of competitors. Feels like they are trying to please everyone and ultimately pleasing no one.
- ship felt dreary and dowdy. Does ...

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 ...

When researching possible summer cruises, this 45 day itinerary (3 back to back segments) seemed very interesting. We had sailed the Nieuw Statendam on two previous cruises (21 and 14 days) in 2018 and 2019 and had enjoyed the ship.
Overall, we have sailed Holland's Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam for 115 days total and are considered "4 star" guests (Holland's rating system).
We had not ...

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 ...

After 14 cruises with this storied line, I was disappointed with the Copenhagen-Copenhagen sailing that stopped in Norway, Iceland and Scotland:(Lerwick, Inverness were pleasant surprises) All the ports met expectations and more. Holland's receptions had no music; first ship I've been on that had no orchestra; no appetizers, Bloody Mary's had no celery. B-B King's seemed to forget that they were ...

This was our fourth Holland America cruise and our second HA cruise this year. We last sailed on the Westerdam around Japan which was fantastic. As this was also a vista class ship and we had also been on the Oosterdam we expected similar levels of service. Sadly that wasn't the case.
The embarkation from Copenhagen was managed well as was the disembarkation. We only did the 14 night section of ...

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 ...

We are definitely not going on HAL cruises again , neither recommending HAl to my friends. This cruise has been a big disappointment to us, and from what I've heard around, to other travelers, as well.
The main reason for us to choose this cruise was its itinerary, but 3 out of the 10 stops were canceled. Sure one cannot fight weather conditions, but I do have my doubts about how necessary ...
