Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
First of all this was a 7 day Caribbean cruise not a 14 day cruise. My wife and I weren't planning on a HAL cruise
but couldn't pass up the price or all the perks that were offered. The ship was not filled with elderly like many think
HAL cruises are. There was a lot of seniors on board but there was also lots of middle age couples and quite a few
younger couples.
Embarkation went ...

We are 4-star mariners with Holland America. The cruise looked to be very good in advance as we'd cruised on the Kongingsdam when it first sailed and believed the ship to be very good. Obviously, the pandemic had an effect on the ship as it was understaffed, overcrowded and with long lines even at the bars. Service at the dining room was pathetic in that on the first night we waited over an hour ...

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Zuiderdam

I've sailed with Holland America three times in the past, all prior to the COVID pandemic. The Westerdam, the Nieuw Amsterdam, and the Eurodam. Each ship impressed with it's service, food, comfort, and laid back style. I am not a fan of the mega ships that are out there and Holland America tends to run in the mid-size ship category.
Oh yes, the mega ships at other lines are very ...

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 ...

A cruise is usually fun and this was no exception BUT, Holland has changed and not for the better. We had 160 days on HAL prior to the pandemic so we were pretty familiar with the line and this ship.
The room was the room and it was fine as usual, it could use a little maintenance as things are starting to look a little tired but still a minor concern, the steward did a good job and the room ...

This was our first Holland America cruise and our first in almost three years. All of our other cruises have been with NCL and we wanted to try another line.
There were, certainly, differences but it is not clear, for some, which are from the different operator or are the legacy of the pandemic.
Here goes.
Check in was easy and quick. Once aboard the Lido Market was open and serving ...

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Eurodam

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
We came back to HAL after a five year absence when they offered a great casino rate for a Panama Canal cruise which had been on our "someday" list for a long time. Eurodam fits through the old locks on the canal, which makes for a more interesting transit. We kicked in for the Club Orange to let us choose one of the CQ cabins in front on deck 10 instead of the guarantee oceanview in the base ...

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Eurodam

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Holland America use to have the best service and food that you could want. It has been downgraded so much it is sad. Now only the service remains a plus. That is by the crew, not necessarily the officers. The food is mediocre, the organization is lacking and just about everything has been downgraded. I am a 4 star mariner and have happily cruised many times with Holland America. It is sad to ...

As a three-star Mariner, I was really looking forward to my first post-Covid journey ... 20 days, from Vancouver BC through the Panama Canal to Fort Lauderdale ...but this is the lowest rating I have ever given a HAL cruise.
The Eurodam is a beautiful, subdued-toned traditional cruise ship, with comfortably furnished public areas and lounges : the garish neon reserved for the casino. There are ...

We have sailed many times with HAL as well as other lines from Regent and Crystal to NCL and Carnival. HAL has always offered large suites at reasonable cost, but this cruise showed they are cutting corners everywhere. Some examples: Lunch menu in dining room never changes. Dinner there has a very limited menu with changes: additional charges for many items, e.g., shrimp cocktail now $8.50 ...
