6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

We were very excited to cruise after COVID and launching our two children off to college. We booked the cruise during their summer sale, the summer before we cruised. Our package offered a sale on the Have It All and included gratuities. We chose the Nieuw Statendam because we have always loved HAL (5/6 cruises) and we like the size of the ship and the pools. We also chose based on the ...

Chose this cruise for the itinerary but loved it. Definitely an older person cruise. We were a group of 30-40 to with a toddler (one of 3 onboard) and even without the toddler were half the average age. We loved the ports. Cartegena had lovely zoo and we had a good time on our excursions. We had a beautiful balcony. Food was excellent. The pizza and burger quick service was outstanding. At the ...

We truly enjoyed our trip. The ports of call were already a great choice ( Fort lauderdale, Sint Maarten, st Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, St Kitts, St Thomas, Half moon cay Bahamas) but we absolutely loved the ship. it was smaller than what we were used to (MSC Meraviglia, Royal caribbean), but it had everything you needed. You can't miss the afternoon tea in the dining room on sunday! Staff ...

Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise XXVII....really enjoyed this ship! Boarding was a breeze, as was our debark on the last day. Our cabin was only an ocean view and on Deck 1, but OMG, it was really roomy and comfy. We usually get balconies and really don't use them, so just the window was perfect. Our cabin stewards, Putu and Tri were awesome! So friendly, efficient and took care of us all ...

We chose this cruise because it visited San Juan and we had not been there before. The food in the dining room was very good. We had anytime dining, but never had to wait for a table. Contrary to what other reviewers have said, we never had a problem ordering a drink. There were always waiters by the pool and even in the show room. We had room service for breakfast several times and it ...

We had done over 20 Cruises on Princess and wanted to try Holland America for their food. The food in the main dining room was quite good. It excelled in 2 of the speciality restaurants. Our major complaint about the cruise that could be easily corrected was that in several bar venues and the Crow’s nest, jars of peanuts were served. My wife has a severe potentially life threatening peanut ...

We have been on 18 cruises but this was our first with Holland America. We chose Holland America for the more quiet, relaxed atmosphere on the ship. We felt so good and recharged after the week long sail on Rotterdam 7. The holiday cruise exceeded our expectations. The ship was new and attractive, food selection good, staff was absolutely great, friendly and professional. The cabin was very ...

I originally selected a Baltic cruise 2 1/2 years ago. Covid prevented us from taking it in 2021. So, I did some research and selected the 10-night Panama Canal cruise with the Volendam. I am so glad I did! First of all, the Volendam was beautiful! It has had a very nice refresh. The new carpets in different venues were beautiful. Everyone was so friendly. It also seemed to have more ...

MS ROTTERDAM: traditional ship design.

MS ROTTERDAM. The newest in the HAL fleet. In design and build In the beautiful traditional ship design. Although all the Pinnacle class ships are similar in design each with its own interior style design, the Rotterdam’s main design change is its single funnel not the usual double funnel. Like all the other HAL ships it is not glitzy! It does have a subdued WOW and it’s traditional Dutch ...

We found a good deal on this 7 day Western itinerary and the following 7 day Southern itinerary, so we booked a B2B. We have sailed on 7 HAL ships but this was the first time on Nieuw Statendam. Overall first impression was a clean ship, well maintained and modestly modern decor. Our cabin had USB ports, individual reading lights and room light switches by the beds, a nice lighted mirror and ...
