We love Holland America. This cruise was to use some cruise day credits we "earned" by having Covid on our HAL South American cruise in March2023. Embarkation and debarkation in Ft. Lauderdale went very well. Seems that staff there have greatly improved. Since there were to be 4 port days out of 7 trip days, we did not do HIA, knew we didn't want all the drinks or need the intenet. We choose ...

11 day cruise Ft Lauderdale. , balcony cabin. Boarding - Easy. Cabin Crew - Great, Cabin - Clean well maintained. Dining - main room #1 - first night given table 85 - directly in front of waiters' station - when I sit down for dinner I want to relax - that table with it's constant clattering of dishes, glassware, silverware and waiters coming and going made that impossible. From night two on was ...

Bucket list and a .uch needed break! Bonus was returning to Vancouver. We were upgraded from a window G to a larger window cabin 25**. No complaints. Our cabin stewards were terrific and always attended to everything. We both felt at home and after 21 days we hadn't grown tired of the pampering! The Ocean Band was our go to after dinner. And the food! Fabulous! Ate in the dining room, and 2x ...

We had never been on a Panama Canal cruise even after having sailed on more than 50 cruises. Our cabin was a balcony and was very nice. This cabin was smaller than some we have enjoyed but was still fine. The fact it had a tub/shower was nice. The beds were comfortable with very nice pillows. The fact there was no turndown service was disappointing. This is the first time we have encountered this, ...

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 ...

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 ...

After not having been down to the Caribbean, we returned again, but this time a few ports we have not seen. We did have one exchanged port which was a bummer for most of us substituting St. Vincent's for Barbados. The explanation was "due to operational issues", whatever that meant. Pros: staff, upscale dining, dining room and stateroom. We tried Nami Sushi for first time and returned for a ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

It was our first time ever to cruise and we quite enjoyed all of it! We tried to enjoy as many activities as we could each night but it was not as easy for us as we had someone who had special needs. The service was exceptional throughout the ship--from cabin cleaners, food servers, crew, etc... It's great to finally be in an environment where you feel openly appreciated and welcomed. Everyone ...

Chose this cruise as we wanted to try Holland America and the itinerary included Bonaire where we have never been. Sadly, three days prior to the embarkation Bonaire was cancelled. We departed Port Everglades and made our way to Half Moon Cay. Unfortunately, the seas were to rough for the tenders so that stop was out. The captain said that we would be going to Aruba (not a scheduled stop) ...

To begin with, I booked this cruise barely a month before sailing, but still got a cabin in a good quiet location -- inside cabin, near the front. The ship is absolutely beautiful. From the magnificent collection of contemporary art which you encounter, literally, at every turn in the halls, to the spacious Seaview deck area and pool at the stern, from the grand two-storey Dining Room to the ...
