A nice cruise with terrible Internet, and some obvious money saving for HAL.

We live in the Seattle area, so this was an easy cruise to take. This was our first post-pandemic cruise. It was the 3rd time we'd cruised to Alaska. And we had a good time. The pros - it is awesome to go on vacation someplace nice, and Alaska is beautiful. The ship was friendly and well run. Things seemed a bit lacking compared to pre-pandemic, but nowhere near what I had feared. The cons - ...

We chose to go on this cruise (our very first cruise) because it was advertised as an Irish music cruise to Alaska promoted by Gertrude Byrne. We expected, from the title of the cruise, to be treated to true Irish music, along the lines of We Banjo Three and other types of traditional Irish sounds. What we got was primarily American country music sung by Irish bands. We are not fans of most ...

My first cruise. Staff was very accommodating. If I needed something, or had a question, they were very helpful. So much so, I did leave a nice 'thank you' card, and tip. From the time I embarked, to the time I disembarked, all my needs were met. The food, oh my goodness, what can I say about the food. So much. Masses of food. I had breakfast brought to my room each morning, but the ...

Onboard life good, but in-port experience poor.

Overall, post-COVID life on the Eurodam was about 95% of what is was before the pandemic. We sailed a few days later (May 20, as opposed to about May 12) than usual, and although we noticed some cuts, ship life was still good. The cabin crew is outstanding, the ship was clean and attractive, the food was very good (we like the Lido for wider selection), and lectures were also good. This year they ...

This was our first cruise, so we started with a big one. First about the ship; it was the perfect size for us. We were not traveling with children, so we were not concerned about having a lot of high-energy activities on board. There were plenty of things to do onboard during sea days, and of course the main thing was to be out on the decks enjoying the beauty of Alaska. We really enjoyed each ...

Alaska is a must-do, HAL is a must-avoid

My wife and I just returned from a 7-day trip on the Holland America Eurodam from Seattle to Alaska. At the top I will say Alaska is an absolutely must-do destination. Despite our issues with Holland America and the Eurodam, every single stop on the itinerary in Alaska brought at least one “wow” moment. Unfortunately, the ship and line we decided to sail with, the Holland America Eurodam, was a ...

We chose this cruise because we didn't feel up to going to Europe this year. Never having been to Alaska, we felt that the three-hour flight to Seattle wouldn't be too taxing and then a leisurely, relaxing cruise of seven days with no jet lag would be just the ticket. We opted for Holland America to assign our rooms and when, the week before, we were assigned Room we were at first happy. Back of ...

Friends invited us to join them on a cruise to Alaska. I've never been on a cruise before and was really nervous about being on the water. It was perfect weather for t shirts and shorts the entire trip. We went to Juneau, Sitka, etc. We saw whales, black bears, sea otters, seals, eagles and lots of seagulls. There were very few vegan or plant based options. Only almond milk as a non dairy ...

This cruise was the first of the year to Alaska for Holland America this year, 2023. We had heard favorable things about a Holland America; however, the cruise line failed to live up to any of the expectations that people had set for us. It began by having the board at 11 AM without our cabins being ready nor leaving until 5 PM. All of the passengers were directed to the Lido deck, where they ...

This was the last of off a series of cruises that took us from SE Asia to Seattle. And it was the most enjoyable one! The ship is old, but still very nice and comfortable and tech friendly. Wifi worked great, the App was useful and did have a good chat function. The cabin was spacious and well equipped. But we did have some issues with the TV remote and changing batteries did not help. Food ...
