Holland America Line Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

We had a great time on our Nine night cruise On board Rotterdam Embarkation was smooth We got to Port Everglades at 12:20 And we did request wheelchair assistance prior to embarkation, which was very great and We went through the check in process and boarding. The ship was a breeze. The ports were amazing. We did have two days and we did see Aruba Bonnie grand Turk and half Moon cay But the food ...

What a delightful cruise. Excellent crew/staff on the cruise ship, wonderful excursions. The ship was small and ready for a refurb, but it made good use of the space. I highly recommend Alligators by Night and Rubber Planation and Indigenous Village in Manaus, as well as Piranha Fishing in Santarem. Trinidad was a great port, the friendliest one we visited in Caribean. Tamarind pop-up ...

Here’s what I wish I knew before I went. Excellent location for access to the front of the ship, spa, wet steam, dry sauna, hydro pool, gym, kid-free sundeck on deck 12. The food was excellent everyday except the first day in the Lido. On that day I got the lasagna from the buffet that was not very good. However I was told the lasagna in the dining room was much much better. In fact the lasagna ...

First cruise with HAL and had a great time. Will post photos here along with daily programs. This is more ocean liner than fun ship and that’s one of the reasons we liked it. Public areas felt more intimate and more like a resort. Ship was spotless and well maintained. Yes, definitely a more mature crowd, so not for everyone. Important to do your research and ask questions so you can ...

First, let me tell you, had been on Eurodam in March 2023 on partial transit through the Panama Canal and was disappointed in entertainment or lack of, food, and missing fresh flowers. On the December 27th 11 days in the Eastern Caribbean everything was as it should be. Fresh flowers were seen around the ship, the food was delectable, and the entertainment was good especially the comedian. The ...

I chose this cruise because it was long 21 days. I also chose HA because of the older crowd, and fewer children. Also for the food choices which were excellent . my cabin stewards Yan and his counter part....can't remember his name at the moment were also awesome. I wanted to cruise over the holidays as well. The entertainment was great. Did not like the smoking that was allowed ...

This was our first cruise with Holland America, and we absolutely loved our 10-day journey in the Southern Caribbean seas! Everything worked smoothly from beginning to end. We were most impressed about the quality of service - all crew members were happy, polite, and treated us like we were on a holiday, just as it should be. The food was amazingly fresh every day and we enjoyed the various ...

This was our first Pinnacle class ship and we were thoroughly impressed with most every aspect of the ship. For this cruise it was myself and DW along with my 81 year old Mom who sailed in a solo cabin. Embarkation: A very quick embarkation as Mom needed wheelchair assistance. We were speedily taken to a separate table where the necessities were taken care of and then escorted upstairs at ...

This was my first cruise, so what do I know? Probably not much! But I was pretty resistant to the idea of cruising and actually had a really good time due to the Eurodam being a well run ship. I got the cruise for free as a match from my Caesar's diamond status. I received an inside room and upgraded to a verandah room for $300 per person. Was it worth it? Probably. We didn't use the ...

Many of our friends sail on Holland America and after many cruises on Princess, Celebrity and Royal, we decided to try this line. We took Amtrak from Ohio to Fort Lauderdale (dont care to fly ). Boarded Nieux Amsterdam on 7 day cruise to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, Puerto Rico and St Thomas USVI. Embarkation went well and we were on the ship in less than half hour. We chose inside cabin on Deck ...
