Our fourth cruise with HAL and second on the Eurodam with family in the next cabin and our first cruise since COVID hit. We had no idea things were this bad in the Industry that they were nickel and diming passengers every time you turned around. First time we had ever seen up charging for meals in the MDR and extra tip chits every time you ordered a drink with the drink package. Even the ...
Awful! We had so many issues too numerous to name on this ship. We have said on 7 cruises and this was by far the worst. Seaview pool is not adults only. kids were there. Drink package...we had a hard time getting refills. Only until 10 at night, after that only after 6am. Ridiculous service at the bar areas. no hair dryer in the balcony cabins. had to ask for 1, took 2 days to get one. Dated ...
This was our second cruise with Holland America and first on the Eurodam. The Eurodam is a very nice ship, having been recently spruced up with new dining room furniture and new carpeting throughout the ship.
We had a verandah cabin with a very nice balcony. Much nicer and wider than the Regal Princess we were just on recently. The only glaring fault of the cabins is the bathroom which is ...
I have been on several HAL cruises before and really felt like this was my cruise line. One thing Eurodam had that I loved was their library. It was expanded quite alot and had very current authors and books. I and other passengers loved this amenity.
I had recently been on a Nieuw Amsterdam ship (Nov 2022) and my husband and I really enjoyed it. Food and entertainment were just as good as ...
We chose this cruise to relax with family members 1 year before the cruise, who knew how bad we would need it. Embarkation was well organized and quick at Ft Lauderdale, under 30 mins from the time we dropped off out luggage to the time we were in our cabin! We were on Eurodam 10 years ago and she is still in great shape, her last drydock the carpet was replaced in the main spaces, dining rooms, ...
We normally cruise in Jan or Feb but this date, cruise and itinerary worked for us. The ship was sailing close to 100% full. Lots of people and small kids on spring break. Youngest crowd I can ever remember for Holland America ship. Probably just the timing with spring break, it didn't effect our cruise in anyway just caught us by surprise. The ship is showing it's age but has been kept up pretty ...
I cruised on the Niew Amsterdam a week or so ago with two friends. We had a great time.
it had been about 21 years since I had cruised on the Zandaam over the New Years holiday. That cruise was fun. (In the interim, I had taken about 25 cruises or so on various lines.) One of my friends picked this one, and I was wondering what we would get on board. It was terrific.
The precruise ...
We went on this cruise as part of a charter
The staff was delightful, and our cabin certainly fine, except for the last night when we were flooded by water from overhead
The aspect of this cruise we did not care for was that there were so many extra charges. All alcohol was an extra charge drinking water was an extra charge. The food was lovely in the dining room, but the dining room was ...
This cruise was wonderful.
Embarkation was horrible. No order. It was simply a free for all. No one followed what order there was.
Our dining room waiters were great and we never had a bad meal. These waiters would stand on their heads if you asked them to. Our room stewards were wonderful. Kept our cabin very clean. We made our own bed. Anything to make their job easier.
The ...
I traveled on this cruise as a chartered cruise. While most of the crew was friendly, my previous 3 cruises on HAL were much better. Our stateroom was not clean and we rarely saw our stateroom attendant. We are both vegetarians and the choices in the Main Dining Room and specialty restaurants do not often many vegetarian options. In todays world I would think the chefs could be a bit more ...
