Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Koningsdam

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
We chose Holland America because of th itineraries. We have sailed with HAL 7 times over 10 plus years. And I want people to know our experience.
Firstly, we had planned this cruise for our 42nd Anniversary. My wife is vegan and I am vegetarian. We planned the cruise for over 2 years, actually as soon as the 2020 itineraries ...

We choose this ship because of the dates and length of this cruise. We have been on 23 cruises and this was the worst one we have ever been on. Our main complaints are the lack of service and lack of entertainment! There was just nothing to do! They had a large screen over the pool, but it was hardly ever used! What a waste! We enjoy being in the pool and watching movies! They even had a ...

I want to open this negative review with a disclaimer that I am of a minority that this cruise line caters to. We went on this cruise with 2 adults and 3 children (4, 8, 10). This is not the "target audience," so our experience will inevitably vary wildly from, say, a 50+ couple or a solo traveler. I am writing this for the people like us whose intention is a family vacation.
With the above ...

We chose because of the Panama Canal. The cruise was good; the weather was fabulous. It's always nice to sit on the verandah and enjoy the ocean. Unfortunately, between the noisy room, the 8-9 choices on the TV (with no guide), the substandard internet and predictable food (after 5 days, I didn't know what to eat), we were very disappointed. The hamburgers were fabulous,but how many days in a row ...

Terrible food, like bad airplane food and no seasoning, odd combinations of food, and a glass of wine goes for $18, going to dinner is a 2 hour affair, fraudulent charges(watch your statement, they try to charge you), charged me $148 for a spa service I didn't even receive, rude spa staff that treat you like crap, nothing to do on board. The most exciting thing was bingo. One small pool for ...

We have been cruising on HAL for 20 years but this was the worst cruise ever. The staff were overworked and except for the cabin boys mostly unfriendly. The Lido is terrible. You spend most of your time looking for butter etc. Half way through the cruise the lemonade was discontinued and the orange juice was watered down. The butter was permanmeently gone. Had to ask the staff to find some. The ...

While one expects to have an older cruise passengers on a Holland America ship.
With this said that with the money I spent
I would expect like hot water and clean rooms.
The first night the room had a musty moldy smell like maybe it had a leak at sometime and hadn’t been cleaned properly.
My friend had gone through some lung issues just before the cruise so the second day he was sick ...

Took my wife on this ship on the January 13th sailing for her birthday for 18 days. In fairness let me be nice and review the only things that were acceptable. The cabin upgrade was nice. Food was just above average. The service from all the crew was excellent.
Out all of my 29 cruises this was the worst. If this was my first cruise I truly would have never sailed again. The management of this ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary. I paid for a larger balcony cabin mid-ship on the 8th deck (bump-out cabin). The air conditioning,(AC), did not work in our cabin. Guest services sent a technician to try and fix the problem. After several attempts they decided to move us to a different cabin. Instead of upgrading us they gave us a cabin on the 7th deck in the aft or rear of the ship. The ...

We chose this particular cruise for the ports and age demographic. We are mid 50’s and although not ready for retirement we are past the “party animal” stage. We were looking for something in between.
The first couple of days were lovely and no complaints, other than the boring and run of the mill food in the Lido buffet and meh food in the MDR.
But after 3 days at sea, we developed ...
