Get out of the continued long winter in Wyoming. The captain was amazing on communication and informational. Hedro in the Pinnacle was amazing as well. We enjoy the pool, and the DiveIn dining. The Pinnacle Grill is the gem of dining as usual if you enjoy steak and seafood, lamb chops, caviar, carpacio, shrimp cocktail. The surcharge is minimal and very well worth on the items (only a couple) to ...

Perfect 5 days solo cruise

That 5 days solo cruise was the one just before the ship going to Europe. A lot of people took this one and the crossover (back to back). I wasn't one of the lucky ones. The deal costs less than 1000$ CDN. Stops were Nassau, Key West and Half Moon Cay. Nassau: Been there twice before and unfortunalely the pier renovation was not completely ready yet. it is now. Unless you have an excursion you ...

We selected this cruise because of the ports offered and the price point. We enjoyed our excursion on Grand Turk which involved a tour of the island, lunch and conch fritter making as well as a stop at Governor's Beach with chairs and umbrellas included as well. It was almost like being on a private beach! Our St.Thomas Tour was lackluster at best. Maegan's Beach was CROWDED and you had to rent ...

First and Last time on Holland America

This was cruise #7 for us; however, our first with HAL. This was our least favorite of the cruise lines on which we have sailed. Specifically, reasons include, boring/lack luster entertainment, lack of on board activities and poor selection of food choices in dining room. We wanted to have a table for 2; did not want to share. We were made to feel that this was an imposition and unreasonable. ...

We've just returned from a 10-day, Panama Canal Cruise, starting, and ending in FLL. Before I begin expressing some of my dissatisfactions, I want to give high praise, to the ship's employees. They were Excellent!!!! I have been on numerous cruises, with other cruise lines, and found this Holland American Ship, lacking. I have never experienced, an additional fee, for any dish selection, ...

Our fourth cruise with HAL and second on the Eurodam with family in the next cabin and our first cruise since COVID hit. We had no idea things were this bad in the Industry that they were nickel and diming passengers every time you turned around. First time we had ever seen up charging for meals in the MDR and extra tip chits every time you ordered a drink with the drink package. Even the ...

This was an Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Niew Statendam departing Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, 3/26/23. I was a little worried, as I had read recent reviews that Holland America cruises were not as good as they were pre-pandemic. I also read that the food was not as good. I am happy to report that all that turned out to be false! I could not be happier with our ...

We were excited to go on this cruise. We had not been on one since 2018. We knew going on that there would be generally older people but wow, there was mostly elderly on this cruise. There are pros and cons about that. The ship was very clean. Crew was very friendly. I’ve had better cruise food but I’ve had worse to. I like the music theme of the ship. I like the variety of music, such as the ...

My wife and I just returned from a 10-day Panama Canal Cruise from HAL Eurodam. We flew down to FLL on Friday March 24. It’s the tail end of Spring Break and every hotel near the airport was $300 per night or more. I booked a room using Marriott Bonvoy points at Towneplace Suites Ft Lauderdale West. It’s a 25-minute drive from the airport, but even if we had booked a hotel near the ...

I chose this date and itinerary because of work/vacation date restrictions. I couldn't go any other date and wanted to try a 7 day on HAL. The positives: The service in every area is excellent. Every single crew member was pleasant, smiling and friendly. This was the best part for us. The ship is very pretty and very clean. Even in the Lido Buffet. I loved the hand washing stations and many ...
