Good ship, but has gone a bit down

We took the two week cruise offered, which started December 30. We were at the start of this cruise a 3 star Mariner. We have always liked Holland America, and this has been our 11th cruise on this brand. That said, I have to say we have noticed small but important changes which because we are in a suite they are not that important, but if you do not have the perks of the suite, then you may have ...

On a cruise in January 2024 on the Nieuw Amsterdam. The ship was clean and our room stewards, Hendra & Eva, were attentive and kept our room clean and organized. While not top-notch, the food was pretty good. The chiefs were out and about making sure the serving staff was hoping and taking care of the guests. The itinerary was good and we did excursions in Turks and at Half Moon Cay, ...

As we were on our first cruise ever we chose the Niew Amsterdam because it is a mid-size ship. We spent a wonderful week. Embarkment and disembarkment went very smoothly and rapidly as a wheelchair was required for one of us. Easy process. No line! Once onboard, we were directed to Lido Market for lunch. PROS: Cabin, excellent food, very diversified more so very fresh, many specialty ...

A great trip on a very nice ship but probably our first and last Holiday Cruise.

This was a completely full ship and had a large Church group onboard. It never felt too crowded and HAL did a good job of setting up the Church group's activities so they did not interfere with other passengers. I had one minority annoying experience with a group member being invasively friendly and proselytizing. I eventually deflected them by telling the I was "not on their team" and am Wiccan ...

The Eurodam is a stately, well-kept ship. We very much enjoyed its classic ambiance and lovely public spaces. Embarkation was quick and flawless. Our rear verandah stateroom was immaculately appointed and our room stewards were top notch. The main dining room and Tamarind restaurant offered impressive fare. But our experience included three major disappointments, and as such this was the ...

This was my first cruise since COVID, and all cruise ships may now be the same, but I really missed all the small niceties on this ship. We sailed with a group of 10 and were not able to secure any kind of set dining time, despite having a 2 year old in our group. This made each dinner time unnecessarily stressful, standing in line for "open dining" and hoping for a table within the next couple ...

I chose this 21 day back-to-back cruise booking because of the Pinnacle Class ship (Nieuw Statendam) and the itinerary (ABC + Greater/Lesser Antilles) I chose to repeat this itinerary because the islands are varied in local culture and available excursions. HAL did not disappoint, and we were blessed with great weather for the entire 3 weeks. The ship was decorated beautifully for the ...

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 ...

Chose cruise for its itinerary. Hadn't sailed on Holland-America in many years but had concentrated on Celebrity and Princess for several cruises on each and were pleased with both of them. Oosterman proved a very pleasant surprise. Entire ship was in excellent condition. Excellent cabin for handicapped. Service personnel were also excellent. Most of entertainment was very good, especially ...
