We chose this cruise because we wanted to see Alaska up close and felt like this would be a greater possibility on on a smaller ship. We were able to cruise through Glaser Bay. Absolutely breathtaking!
This cruise was everything we asked for and more. The staff was so attentive. We have not had service like this on the other crusie lines that we have been on. The service on the Lido Deck ...
We booked this cruise in March, right after cancelling a European cruise on Osterdam that was to leave June 1st. We were anxious about rising covid numbers and different protocols for the countries on the itinerary, not to mention flying Toronto to Barcelona and spending 2 days there before the cruise plus 2 days in Venice post cruise. There were just too many "what ifs". We had been to Alaska ...
The cruise got off to a rocky start before we even embarked. Holland canceled the cruise we booked and put us on a different ship with a new departure date necessitating a change in our pre cruise stay and dining reservations.
Soon after departing Seattle at the start of the cruise a passenger had a medical emergency which delayed arrival at our first port of call which resulted in a lot of ...
My wife and myself have cruised six time on Holland and never had a problem, But this cruise was REALLY bad!! The offer on the cost of the cruise was good but we signed up for the orange card, You were to receive priority boarding, Never happened. We stood in line for 3 hours, No body at the dock new a thing about the program. We finally boarded and went right to our cabin, My wife's cousin was in ...
We selected this cruise based on the itinerary (ports) as well as cabin availability. This was also a last minute booking which was finalized only 6 weeks ago. We were reluctant to cruise on ships offering "unlimited alcohol" etc. It is true Holland America may be considered a little older in age range of the passengers, however there were plenty of younger aged passengers enjoying themselves and ...
We chose this cruise due to Holland America's reputation in Alaska ( The park service prefers Holland America), the price ( super low) and because we had sailed on the Z dam 18 years ago...
The crew was amazing. Knew our names after only a few days, dealt with difficulties ( excursions cancelled due to illness of guides) solved our minor problems and treated us like honored guests. Plenty ...
My husband and I chose this cruise to mark one of our dreams off our bucket list. We are in our late 50s and definitely felt like youngsters on this cruise. The service was fantastic and our Veranda room was nice. Food was the same inside the "buffet" as the dining room. Every day it was nearly the exact same menu with the exception of meats, soups and desserts. Delicious egg rolls and chicken ...
With all the flight cancellations happening this Spring it was nice to drive to Vancouver BC and avoid flying. We uploaded our USA passports and Covid vaccination documents on the Arrive Canada online site as required although no Canadian official ever asked to look at our documentation. There was an awful delay when we were boarding because the Holland America employee insisted that we have our ...
cruise chosen as part of a SAGA Alaskan Adventure tour.
Ship is very comfortable, the crew friendly , very helpful and communicative.
The primary aim of the cruise is to view the wonderful scenery and watch out for wildlife. The dining room staff are excellent and the food nice, but not outstanding .
The main failing was the quality of the evening entertainment, the theatre was the ...
Anniversary celebrated on day 3, Juneau. Saw Alaska for 1st time.
We picked this itinerary because of simple Vancouver departure and return location, and wanted no more than 7 days. HAL offered the ideal itinerary and made a compelling last minute booking offer (we found this 60 days prior to) Dates worked for an easy day ahead and day after in Vancouver with only a week off work. Would ...
