Best Cruise of my Life

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

Holland America is my choice for any future cruises. Everything perfect with one exception. It was very frustrating to witness the chair hogs that was an everyday occurrence. I am an early riser, and by 6 am MANY pool deck chairs were already "reserved" by the usual method, and many of them were not used until well pass lunch time. I realize there really is not much Holland can do about that. ...

We have been on this ship once before on a land and sea trip to Alaska in 2019. We didn't get to spend much time on the ship so we thought we would do it again on the 7-day Southern Carribean. Although our itinerary was changed a few times we didn't mind because we love sea days. The weather was beautiful. The service was outstanding. All of the servers remembered our names and treated us ...

Chose this cruise for the itinerary but loved it. Definitely an older person cruise. We were a group of 30-40 to with a toddler (one of 3 onboard) and even without the toddler were half the average age. We loved the ports. Cartegena had lovely zoo and we had a good time on our excursions. We had a beautiful balcony. Food was excellent. The pizza and burger quick service was outstanding. At the ...

We truly enjoyed our trip. The ports of call were already a great choice ( Fort lauderdale, Sint Maarten, st Lucia, Barbados, Martinique, St Kitts, St Thomas, Half moon cay Bahamas) but we absolutely loved the ship. it was smaller than what we were used to (MSC Meraviglia, Royal caribbean), but it had everything you needed. You can't miss the afternoon tea in the dining room on sunday! Staff ...

Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise XXVII....really enjoyed this ship! Boarding was a breeze, as was our debark on the last day. Our cabin was only an ocean view and on Deck 1, but OMG, it was really roomy and comfy. We usually get balconies and really don't use them, so just the window was perfect. Our cabin stewards, Putu and Tri were awesome! So friendly, efficient and took care of us all ...

I originally selected a Baltic cruise 2 1/2 years ago. Covid prevented us from taking it in 2021. So, I did some research and selected the 10-night Panama Canal cruise with the Volendam. I am so glad I did! First of all, the Volendam was beautiful! It has had a very nice refresh. The new carpets in different venues were beautiful. Everyone was so friendly. It also seemed to have more ...

MS ROTTERDAM. The newest in the HAL fleet. In design and build In the beautiful traditional ship design. Although all the Pinnacle class ships are similar in design each with its own interior style design, the Rotterdam’s main design change is its single funnel not the usual double funnel. Like all the other HAL ships it is not glitzy! It does have a subdued WOW and it’s traditional Dutch ...

We had a great cruise on our 10, uh I mean 11, day cruise of the Caribbean. Due to hurricane Nicole hitting Florida and closing Port Everglades we had a bonus day at sea. Luckily not only was the extra day free of charge, the captain did a great job avoiding the storm and the seas were relatively calm. During that extra night at seas, one of the passengers noticed a small craft and notified the ...

I am writing this from our cabin on our last day of this cruise. All ports were stopped at in the order on the schedule. Not one drop of rain while in port. Was told by the staff who stand and direct people to the ship that there were 936 passengers. It was so evident in no lines to check in, get on the ship, get off the ship at each port, RARELY shared an elevator with anyone even going ...

This was my 3rd sailing on Holland America but the 1st time I had a Casino package. The ship was beautiful, staterooms clean and well laid out. I at in the Lido most of the time. The food is very good especially the Asian section. Fresh stir fry to your specifications. The lamb curry was amazing. Activities were plentiful. There is plenty of music as well as planned activities. The ...
