1-10 of 20 Holland America Line Noordam Cruise Reviews for Cruises for the Disabled Cruises to the Transatlantic
Everything started out great. The cabin was very clean and the staff was helpful. All the ports were quiet which was a change from other cruises we have taken, just walk through the cities and enjoy them. The city markets were fun to see. Those were the good things. The over all quality of Holland America has declined over the past 20 years. They have done away with alot of passenger envolvment. ...
We boarded the beautiful Noordam for the second time in two years on the understanding that we could use any part of the common area on the ship as on our previous cruise,only to find that we could not use the common area on deck 11 as there are now Cabanas. There is a clear notice that the area was private for paying Cabana users only, segregating the rest of the passengers from this previous ...
Noordam – October 20/13 Mediterranean and Tran-Atlantic cruise
We love cruising and we particularly love cruising on Holland America ships. We'd had a lovely long cruise in the spring and did not plan on this holiday but the magic word 'Sale' appeared and we could not resist. We have taken more than a dozen trans-Atlantic cruises in the past so there had to be new (to us) ports of call to tempt ...
We began our cruise from Civitavecchia, Italy on October 31st, 2013. Yes, it was Halloween. We had enjoyed beautiful weather in Rome for five days prior to embarkation. The temperatures ranged between 23 and 26C every day with beautiful sunshine. We never experienced one drop of rain until our last port of call at the Azores. More about that later.
We had arranged for a transfer with RomeCabs to ...
From the steward who offered us a blanket while we were lounging in a deck chair to the Lido deck outside rear deck staff who treated us like royalty despite no gratuity earned on tea, coffee and water, we were spoiled from start to finish. Efficient boarding and disembarking, perfect service in our room with fruit and ice fresh every day.The cleaning was excellent and the kitchens and service ...
This was our first TA and, hopefully, not our last! We sailed 16 days Ft. Lauderdale to Rome.
EMBARKATION:
Smooth and easy from the port. Arrived at 11 AM and there were no lines to get checked in. Waited until noon before we were all let aboard by group numbers. Went to our room and dropped off our carry ons, called for reservations in the Canaletto and went to the MDR for lunch. Did tour of ...
My wife and I are not "cruise" people(except on our own boats), however we are retired and have time available so decided to travel to Europe by sea rather than fly. We chose the Holland America vessel "Noordam" on the basis of it'scheduled dates, as it arrived in Citvitavecchia, Rome,from Fort Lauderdale just before we had booked a villa in Tuscany. Our thoughts on the vessel and trip ...
Noordam Cruise Review
This was our first cruise ever, for which we chose Holland America, based on its legacy, reviews and family experiences. We are a couple from the Netherlands in our late forties.
We booked our cruise at a specialized cruise agency, which helped us at many of our first timer questions.
Prior to our cruise, we booked a hotel in Rome for the weekend and ...
