Review for a Asia Cruise on Westerdam

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s
My mother and I selected this cruise date / itinerary 12 months before departure. It included Japan and Hong Kong which were key to our travel desires.
Let’s start with the challenges.
We booked a “Guaranteed Oceanview Room”. Mistake. Should have selected our room at reservation.
We were upgraded to a Verandah room directly under the pool deck. The deck scraping at odd hours was not ...

This 7 dy cruise was an anniversary cruise. Oct 21 thr 28th, 2023. The ship stayed at ft, lauderdale for 2.5 dys before the capt. Finally sent out a msg saying seaweed had clogged one of the engines, and we should be sailing later that evening so that was the reason that we were still docked? While the ship is still at port the casino can't open, stores aren't open. We were supposed to go to ...

We chose HAL because we sailed with them 10+ years ago and it was great then. Unfortunately it has changed a lot and this has been the most disappointing vacation in 43 years. We missed 2 out of 4 ports due to ship being docked for maintenance. And one stop is just the private island owned by Carnival and HAL and the stop at Grand Turk was hugely disappointing as it was only Americanized tourist ...

Standing out cabin stewards nyoman and sugi were exceptional!! Rarely seen, always on top of everything! Any and all requested of them provided with a smile. Room service, on time, correct, best seen in long time! Food in mdr excellent but here is where history departs from new reality. No included lobster entree on cruise. Instead three varying additional charge items. Though our waiter and his ...

Ship limped it's way back into Fort Lauderdale just ahead of our cruise. Then we found out we would be staying 2 full days in Fort Lauderdale. We also found out that 2 of our most anticipated ports were then cancelled San Juan, Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas USVI. Our time on Grand Turk was cut from 7 hours to just over 4. Holland America (HAL) did add another stop instead - Nassau, Bahamas - ...

We selected this cruise based on reviews and advice from past guests. The cruise was reduced from 7 days to 5 days due to the need to repair the azipod propulsion system which took 2 days to complete thereby making the ship a floating hotel. In addition to shortening the cruise they altered the itinerary to one which was far less desirable for our group and probably everyone aboard. We had ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Oosterdam

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
Although we've been to the other cities on the itinerary, we were attracted to this one because it featured two cities that we wanted to visit --- Istanbul and Barcelona.
Our experience was a combintation of surprise, disappointment, a little anger, and some light-hearted moments. We have never traveled on HAL before, so we didn't know what to expect. The embarcation point and procedure should ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Oosterdam

10+ Cruises • Age 80s
We just returned from a 26-day TA from Athens to Fort Lauderdale; actually a 12-day Mediterranean to Barcelona and a 14-day transatlantic crossing to FL. HAL sold it as a single 26-day cruise but the second 14-day leg was much cheaper so many got on in Barcelona for TA. Unfortunately the weather prompted the captain to cancel Cadiz and Portugal. We had also lost 2 ports on the 12day segment but, ...

Review for a Africa Cruise on Zuiderdam

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Itinerary- Africa at the top of my bucket list. Most ports were readily available to walk through. Ship tours ranged in price- from inexpensive to YIKES! Even though I now travel solo, I was comfortable and at ease. Staff on board exceptional- always willing to answer questions, give directions when we got lost or needed more information. Cabin stewards were always going the extra mile to make ...

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam
Unhappy canal cruiser
10+ Cruises • Age 70s
My experience on the Nieuw Amsterdad was far from what was advertised. I did not find the dining to be top notch. Pinnicle was very overrated. I tried the porkchop and needed a chainsaw to cut it. My wife tried the Hallibut and it was so dry you could use it as an ink blotter. The main dining room was mediocre at best.
We were at sea 11 days of our 15 day cruise because 4 ports were ...
