I chose this cruise because it was long 21 days. I also chose HA because of the older crowd, and fewer children. Also for the food choices which were excellent . my cabin stewards Yan and his counter part....can't remember his name at the moment were also awesome. I wanted to cruise over the holidays as well. The entertainment was great. Did not like the smoking that was allowed ...

We chose to sail on the Nieuw Statendam because we had sailed on this ship before and enjoyed it very much. I do not know what has happened to Holland America and this ship it was totally different from when we were last on this ship and also sailing with Holland. Our last cruise with them was June 2021. First, upon arriving at the airport we had their airport to ship transfers. The older ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

My husband and I sailed on the Nieuw Statendam December17-27, 2023. Before the pandemic we enjoyed cruising and had just started making Holland America our preferred cruise line. We had a Canada/New England cruise planned at the beginning of the pandemic that we had to cancel (of which we lost all our money). We finally felt comfortable to start cruising again and book the above mentioned ...

This was our first cruise with Holland America, and we absolutely loved our 10-day journey in the Southern Caribbean seas! Everything worked smoothly from beginning to end. We were most impressed about the quality of service - all crew members were happy, polite, and treated us like we were on a holiday, just as it should be. The food was amazingly fresh every day and we enjoyed the various ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was my first cruise, so what do I know? Probably not much! But I was pretty resistant to the idea of cruising and actually had a really good time due to the Eurodam being a well run ship. I got the cruise for free as a match from my Caesar's diamond status. I received an inside room and upgraded to a verandah room for $300 per person. Was it worth it? Probably. We didn't use the ...

11 day cruise Ft Lauderdale. , balcony cabin. Boarding - Easy. Cabin Crew - Great, Cabin - Clean well maintained. Dining - main room #1 - first night given table 85 - directly in front of waiters' station - when I sit down for dinner I want to relax - that table with it's constant clattering of dishes, glassware, silverware and waiters coming and going made that impossible. From night two on was ...

Chose cruise for its itinerary. Hadn't sailed on Holland-America in many years but had concentrated on Celebrity and Princess for several cruises on each and were pleased with both of them. Oosterman proved a very pleasant surprise. Entire ship was in excellent condition. Excellent cabin for handicapped. Service personnel were also excellent. Most of entertainment was very good, especially ...

We took the 31 day cruise option (Nov 15-Dec 16 2023) - Fort Lauderdale to Buenos Aries with the express purpose of doing the Straits of Magellan. We have cruised HAL many times (we are 4 Star travelers) and have enjoyed every trip. This cruise was also a wonderful experience - except for the entertainment, will get to that in a moment. We stayed in a Neptune Suite and it was as has always ...

We flew from London Heathrow to Miami 2 days before the cruise via British Airways. Flight was on time and very pleasant with great food and service onboard. On reaching Miami we were transferred to Tony Hotel on South Beach where we stayed for 2 nights. Hotel was art deco style and in an excellent location next to many bars and restaurants. We had a very pleasant stay in Miami and did a hop on ...

Captain Bas van Dreumel was at the helm on our cruise. You can always tell great management when the crew is happy and laughing, service is great and the ship is spotless. That was our experience on the Rotterdam. 5 stars is based on that experience alone. The itinerary included some ports that I will never return to, some food I didn't enjoy and entertainment that wasn't...but cruises are ...
