Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Oosterdam

We wanted a cruise where we didn’t have airfare to contend with. We can drive from Phoenix to San Diego, leave our car in a hotel that stores it for free, and take the free shuttle from the Best Western Yacht Harbor ($137 a night) to the cruise port. Perfect. This was only seven days but it only cost $1249 so we were very happy with that part of it.
We love absolutely everything about this ship ...

My wife and I (both 53) were asked to join our friends on the Eurodam 11 day cruise to the Panama Canal. Having cruised several times before on Disney, RCCL & NCL we were eager to experience HAL. I was aware that the HAL demographic was the older sort. We booked in 2018 for a 2020 cruise, so we had plenty of time for research and YouTube video watching. My wife kept insisting that it wasn’t an ...

embarkation/disembarkation were smooth. cruise staff worked really hard. entertainment was disappointing. while the dueling pianos were terrific, BB King was monotonous and most other entertainment mediocre.
very comfortable chairs on deck 3 and towels always available.
menus were varied; prompt and attentive service in dining room
LIdo ran out of ice at lunch several days which ...

We chose HA because the reviews & travel agents said they catered to older travelers. Thought it would be a perfect way to bring in the New Year, some good music, dancing and space to enjoy. Well the only thing good was the music, it was excellent. Guessing because it was a New Year’s cruise there were lots of families & extended families on board. Also, HA must have had some good rates as ...

We were scheduled to go on Celebrity in October 2019 but had to cancel so thought we would cruise in December. Always wanted to try Holland America and liked the itinerary. In general the ship is very nice, loved that the pool was never crowded, elevators came quickly and the standard balcony was nice. However, as others have said the shows were lacking and only had a couple of comedians, a ...

Panama Canal 10 night partial voyage.
The Holland America Zuiderdam has some serious air conditioning problems. Understandable that when you’re walking through the hallways, it can be a little warm with the deck doors open, however, the rooms should not be to the point where it’s uncomfortable. The second night into our cruise, we called down to customer service and asked them to check the air ...

We chose the cruise for it's destination, the Panama Canal and for it's embarkation port, Ft. Lauderdale. The ship was fine, the stateroom was excellent and the service staff was wonderful. We did NOT feel the same about the ship personnel. They were aloof and never smiled or made eye contact. We also felt that there was a constant sales pitch for jewelry or spa services. We were inundated by ...

Having been on the Zaandam in January 2018 and been very impressed with the ship and its amenities, I chose this cruise for the chance to be on her again and to transit the Panama Canal again with stops in South America.
Embarkation/debarkation: As always, HAL did these impeccably for a mass market cruise line. Both were a breeze and I was onboard for a nice lunch in the MDR in minutes. The ...

A not so common one, long and much to see.
Done out of Europe, by a German travel office: Berge und Meer
Yes we know it's an old ship wich had the atmosphere of faded grandeur
But the compagny plays it all very poche, a bit pathetic...
This was our 23rd cruise, and the first with HAL.
There was a cabin on the promenade deck confirmed by the HAL 5 months ...

Stateroom Attendant service was outstanding.. Quality of Lincoln Center Stage musicians and recitals were world class. Panama Canal presentations and speaker were excellent. The actual transit was normal : 8 hours from coast to coast...glad it was cloudy to keep the hot sun at bay...
Visible changes to the ship from last dry dock are minimal....New cushions on the deck chairs and Lido pool ...
