Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Nieuw Statendam
Enjoying the Journey
10+ Cruises • Age 40s
I needed to go to the US and found this transatlantic for a good price and the timing that I needed. My first Holland America cruise 6 months prior on the Rotterdam was disappointing, but I gave HA another try. This cruise was much better. The atmosphere was much more relaxed (I'm assuming this stems from management down), and the crew seemed less uptight too. There weren't constant announcements ...

We enjoy spending time in Europe in the fall and then sailing home on a trans-Atlantic with our preferred lines - Holland America and Cunard. We appreciated the itinerary as it was full of ports we enjoyed . We also greatly enjoy the ambience on HAL ships. We boarded without issue at Barcelona , concluding ten wonderful days in Spain. The ship was spotless and remained so through our 15 days ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
Selected itinerary for the ports and ability to spend a few days in Rome. Embarkation was the BEST, easiest, fastest we've ever experienced. We were boarded and eating lunch in MDR a full hour before our check in time.
For a ship going into dry dock, we did experience any maintenance related issues or ration shortages. There was no visible work being done in the areas where we walked. May have ...

Review for a Africa Cruise on Zuiderdam

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Itinerary- Africa at the top of my bucket list. Most ports were readily available to walk through. Ship tours ranged in price- from inexpensive to YIKES! Even though I now travel solo, I was comfortable and at ease. Staff on board exceptional- always willing to answer questions, give directions when we got lost or needed more information. Cabin stewards were always going the extra mile to make ...

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Holland America Rotterdam
Dhk68
First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
We just finished a seven-day cruise to Norwegian fjords out of Amsterdam and really enjoyed the experience. The ship is brand new and looks it; the staff were cleaning the already immaculate common spaces daily. The balcony room was well laid-out and spacious. The service was excellent and food was very good as well.
The entertainment worked for us because it was music-focused, and we ...

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Oosterdam

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
This was our third Holland cruise and most ambitious. A Mediterranean cruise is inherently busy because of all the port stops. Several ports are commercial ports, so bus travel is required to get to the attractions.
The Oosterdam, as with all Holland ships is meticulously maintained. The crew was very friendly and our cabin stewards Gusti and Mifta were top notch. We had a cabin on the ...

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Holland America Rotterdam

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
I booked this cruise because it was a “no fly” cruise from Amsterdam and the Norway landscape was on my “must see” list.
Furthermore Holland America had a lot of promotions because of their “150 years of Sailing” celebration with the “Have it all” package. This included basic WiFi, beverages, including alcohol, specialty dining, a shore excursion budget of 100 dollar per person and 25 dollar ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Oosterdam

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
My lifelong dream was to visit Venice. I selected this itinerary as it included an extra night in Trieste with excursions to Venice. Ships can no longer port in Venice and if you plan to visit, you will have a longer commute. It is what it is. I did not purchase travel insurance, but did use HAL "Flight-Ease" to book my flights as they will accommodate any disruptions in travel. I also ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
This was our first time on HAL; our cruising has otherwise been on Norwegian and Royal C. We chose this ship for the itinerary--Norway fjords--and for the price, which included the drink package, internet, and credits for shore excursions and specialty dining, along with an $800 flight credit.
We left from Copenhagen--if you haven't been, seriously consider spending 3-4 days there before ...
