Norwegian Fjords - Awesome, Koningsdam - Not SO Much

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Koningsdam

We have taken approximately 25 cruises over the past six years on Celebrity, Princess and Royal Caribbean. This was our first HAL cruise. We selected Koningsdam for the itinerary and that this is the flagship of HAL. We traveled in a balcony stateroom. The ports of call and the scenic cruising were all wonderful. The ship is beautiful. Unfortunately HAL doesn't match the soft product with the ...

Overall was a great Cruise for us - Myself, wife and a 7 year old. This was our first time on HAL ( after several cruises with Princess, Royal Caribbean and Carnival ). Overall a great cruise. Excellent food, entertainment and service. Details and some nitpicks below. Pre-Cruise - We arrived in Amsterdam 2 days earlier and spent two days going around time and recovering from jetlag. Nice city ...

Just finishing up a one week cruise from Amsterdam to the fjords of Norway on the Koningsdam. We had a marvelous time, blessed with calm seas and (unusually) nice weather. Never opened an umbrella all week, although it was misty and cloudy in Bergen, as expected (less than 50 days of sun a year). First, we do not cruise with who we euphemistically call “the others.” As obnoxious as that ...

Just returned from the Viking Saga seven day cruise to the fijords of Norway. It was a getaway for me and my daughters. None of us had been to Norway, we only had one week, and I was curious to see the Koningsdam, so it was the perfect choice. We all give the ship high marks. The food, in all venues, was the best I have had on any of my HAL, Princess, or Celebrity cruises. Tamarind continues ...

This was a cruise up the Fiords, which was very colourful. Food excellent - such dept of quality and choice. Ship amazing. Amazing pools The staff were so very polite yet on the last morning , as we were disembarking they could not care a less............ I guess they had their gratuities and there was no incentive nor nothing more to gain or impress. Few Criticisms 1 overpriced ...

We had not sailed Holland for several years. I feel that the clientele has moved to a much older crowd. Many guests on walkers, wheelchairs etc. My biggest disappointment was the itinerary during the day. There was nothing to do. No karaoke, no dance classes, nothing to fill the time if you decided to stay on the ship. Holland may do this intentionally in order to sell excursions. However, ...

We chose this cruise to experience a little of Norway and her peoples, also an opportunity to cruise with my parents. We have been on the Rotterdam and Oosterdam before with HAL. Koningsdam is very stylish, but the red, silver & gold decor can seem a bit garish. It must be one of their bigger ships, but it's not better, overall. In fact, we felt quite crowded at times. Pro 1. The hotel ...

May 17-29, 2017. Two places to visit on my bucket list were Norway and Scotland, so when I saw this HAL cruise to both places, I was sold. This was my first cruise on the Zuiderdam and I was very pleased. The itinerary was round-trip Copenhagen, with ports every day of the 12 night cruise except the last day. Ports included Oslo, Kristiansand, Stavanger, Flam, Bergen, Lerwick (Shetland ...

Cruise chosen as this is a new ship. We'd already been on Ovation of the Sea and wonted to sail on Carnival Vista this year. So just fitted in with our plans. Traveling from the UK and embarking in Amsterdam was really easy - short flight, good train transport from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, 5 minutes taxi ride to ship beats a long drive down to Southampton! Would do this ...

It was with some trepidation we took our first Holland America Line cruise after reading the reviews here. Having experienced a near perfect holiday, I am writing this review to try and add some balance to the negative reviews. To add background, we are a family of 4 with two children aged 11 and 7. This was our 11th family cruise having previously sailed with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and ...
