Great cruise to the Canal

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Eurodam

My wife wanted to go to the Panama Canal so we booked what we thought would fit us best. Check In was great. Cabin was nice except we where on deck 8 aft under the Lido deck aft pool area. Everytime someone moved a deck chair or lounger you heard it. Our room stewards were great. The food at the Lido Market which was the buffet was disappointing. Probably the worst cruise buffets we've ever had. ...

November 27 to December 4th This was my 5th time on this ship. 3 times on the LRBC chartered cruise, once with my elderly MIL and this time with a friend. Normally HAL is never my go to cruise line. The last two times are because my MIL is a long time HAL cruiser (she is 91 now) and my friend is 4* HAL. Embarkation was a breeze. The ship apparently only had 1500 on this sailing. It was ...

First, we love HAL. Each time we sail, we are impressed with the service, the food, and the ships. Of course, like everyone else we are always most impressed with the crew and, particularly, our stewards. What a great bunch of professionals each and every one has been! This cruise had some hiccups and coughs that I think they will soon work out, as well as one possible major flaw that ...

Chose cruise to join family members. On the first morning we went to the main dining room. My cold breakfast came quickly the remainder of our party waited 45 minutes for their hot food. At dinner I ordered a wine package and chose a white wine the bottle was placed on the table instead of in an ice bucket, we were then forced to help ourselves. The practice of not allowing shorts in the dining ...

We took this cruise because it was Available for back to back while visiting differs ports on each segment. Entertainment in the main theater was only BBC and dancers. While both were excellent, we’d like more of a variety. Also missing was Americas Test Kitchen, though it’s still listed. There was the same comedian in BB Kings on several nights. The music in that venue was good. We have not ...

Are all cruises having post COVID-19 issues ?

Our first cruise since COVID, and first on Holland ever. Extremely disappointed. First the Pros: The overwhelmed crew provided great service. There were just not enough of them to meet demand. Food in the Dinning Room was very good. Cabin was clean and comfortable. The Cons: There we’re periods through the day when you could not get ANY food. And those hours were not clearly ...

This was our second cruise on the Koningsdam. We first cruised October 2021and had an excellent experience. An editor rating 5.0 was not accurate as the ship did not live up to the high standards. The service was not outstanding, nor was the cuisine excellent. Embarkation: Our arrival time was 2:15pm however, we arrived at 10:30am the woman in charge of the entrance just let everyone in. ...

I am currently on the Koningsdam, its Thanksgiving day and here is my review. I’ve never cruised Holland America before. Mostly I’m a loyal Royal Caribbean fan. I’m travelling solo this time after three years not leaving the island where I live and I was ready to cruise again. I chose Holland America because they sail out of San Diego, the closet port to my home in Hawaii. I wanted an older ...

Room-We were in a lower room (1120). We usually stay in the low rooms due to the reduced prices, but I sure am sorry we did this time. When we walked into the room it was so cold, I put on a long sleeved shirt and sweater and waited for the room to warm up. It never did. We spent 11 days in the coldest room possible. We stopped at customer service 19 times, and twice guy with a temperature ...

14 Day Panama Bucket List, San Diego to Ft Lauderdale I have sailed 7x on HAL, and first time on this ship. I will say, I don’t think I will sail on this particular one ever again unless it goes on a refit. The best thing about the trip was our cabin Stu, he was by himself and we were deck 5 aft verandah (perfect spot for Panama Canal trip) they say stern (no rooms) or aft is the place to ...
