Eurodam is a good ship

On September 30, 2011 we boarded the Eurodam at the Manhattan Terminal. Check-in was efficient and quick. We had only carry-on, so that we could go directly to our cabin and get settled. There was food available at the Lido (buffet) and later at the pool grill. The captain hosted a sail away through NY harbor. Our Cabin attendants (Uman and Sakti) from Indonesia were responsive to a call ...

The Eurodam is one of HAL's newer ships, and the ship was very well maintained. Pluses on this cruise were the Itinerary (NYC, Newport Rhode Island, Gloucester Massachusetts, Bar Harbor Maine, Halifax and sydney Nova Scotia, Saguenay and Quebec city, Quebec, the gym (one of the best we have seen on a ship),the service in the dining rooms and staterooms, and the choice of meal entrees. Also, the ...

Arrived at Manhatten Terminal and after 3 1/2 to 4 hours in lines, were finally able to board the ship. Embarkation was combined with departing NCL cruisers; noone knew what was happening or should be, lines were interminable and HAL staff were either non-existant or unhelpful. Thank goodness the rest of the cruise made up for this initial snafu or we would never have considered trying HAL ...

My last cruise on Holland America was in 2003. After 30 cruises, my favorite line is still Royal Caribbean, but I choose cruises based on itinerary and Holland America offered what I wanted this time. I had taken a New England/Canada cruise in 2009 on the Jewel of the Seas which was round trip from Boston and liked it very much. This cruise was similar with additional ports. Only two ports were ...

We stayed 4 nights pre-cruise at "Jewel Hotel" across from Rockefeller Center. Great little boutique type hotel, very modern, had ample room for the 3 of us-including a chair that pulled out into a bed. Water station on every floor where they have bottles to re-fill every day. Also have a small gym and free washer/dryer to use. Included free wifi and computers on 2nd floor. Could walk ...

Although we had been on a total of 10 cruises, this was our first one on HAL. We looked forward to it because we had heard good thigs about HAL and were lead to believe that they were a cut above Celebrity, Princess and NCL. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. We boarded the ship in New York City. I can only describe the boarding process as CAOS! Most of the problems appeared to be due to ...

We decided to take a late September vacation in July and found that a guaranteed "N" category inside cabin was $499 per person! For a 10-day cruise we thought that was pretty sweet. At that price, we even talked our neighbors into going with us.Approximately two weeks before embarkation, we were upgraded to category "J" on main deck forward. That was a pleasant surprise as for $50 pp per day we ...

We stayed at the Casablanca Hotel in New York it was very good, close to Times Square yet quiet inside.There were four of us on this cruise my wife & myself plus my friend and his wife.A short taxi ride to the ship. But checking took over one hour, not enough staff & the ones that were there chatted with us too much. We booked over a year in advance through our local travel agent & several times ...

I caught a red eye (llpm) out of Seattle ..via Cleveland..the night before sailing time at 5pm the next day in the Big Apple August 27, 2009. Within 10 minutes of stepping off the airplane at LaGuardia I picked my bag off the carousel. Few minutes later a HAL rep greeted me and a half hour later climbed aboard a van bound for Manhattan pier 91. The driver did an impassioned monologue on his ...

My wife and I are late 50's and this was our 22nd cruise. We usually cruise with our adult(?) children and other families and have used RCCL, Celebrity, and Princess.It's my opinion that the large market cruise lines produce very similar overall cruise experiences which are very, very good given the price and number of people they are trying to make happy. We had heard good things about HAL and ...
