Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Oosterdam

We chose this cruise because it was 14 days continuous, not a back to back which we hate. Also the price was right for a last minute booking.
The ship was in very good condition, cabin clean, not too sure I like the new configuration, I never saw anybody at the Atrium Bar, cannot figure why it is there. I also question the music walk, at least it is easy to find. the classical quartet was very ...

We chose this cruise to celebrate a special birthday and chose to splurge on the Neptune suite experience. We have been fortunate to have taken more than 50 cruises on various lines including crystal, Oceania, princess, and others besides Holland America. We are driven by a combination of itinerary and price with HAL meeting the criteria most often. The 14 days round trip Tampa with excellent ...

We have taken this cruise twice already. We like the ports, and it is a 14 day which we enjoy just the right amount of time to get away. We are retired and just go on the cruise to enjoy the pampering we get. The staff on the Oosterdam were fantastic. We found them very friendly and couldn't do enough to make us happy. Our cabin stewart was especially nice, we wanted harder pillows and we got ...

Delbert McClinton's 23rd Sandy Beaches Cruise was considered by most, the best vacation of their lives. The talent on board the ship was amazing. Delbert McClintons band, The Mavericks, Marcia Ball, Wayne Toups, The McCrary Sisters were just a few to name.
The Seaview Pool was transformed into an outdoor theatre where many artists performed.
This cruise was for music fans who got to meet ...

We arrived in Tampa the evening before the cruise and stayed at the Marriott Courtyard downtown.Basically we chose this hotel due to its proximity to the cruise ship and the free shuttle from the hotel to the pier.The room was nice, the people friendly however my major complaint with this hotel is the lack of restaurant facilities. There is a fast food place inside the hotel but I watched them ...

Selected because of sail date giving us one night and the next day before celebrating New Year's Eve. Overall the cruise was great. The ship was clean, well organized and staffed and a good size. However, we found the clients to be on average considerably older than us and many of the activities centered around that age group. Entertainment was too structured. For example, the piano bar had ...

This was our 5th Holland Cruise in 3 years. Can see lots of changes- no bread pudding, no speciality teas, no Indonesian crew show. The things that used to make Holland special. The Oosterdam was nice as it has been drydocked and received upgrades. Was looking forward to Billboard Live- was not a fan- perhaps because the entertainers were not that good. Adaigo was replaced by a quintet- seems to ...

I love Holland America, classy cruises, good entertainment and good food ! This was my first time on the Oosterdam, even though its a small ship, they have a lot to offer. The reno that was just done was very nice. The ship was clean and comfortable. After a couple of days, it was like family, the crew knew our names right away and always greeted us. We never had a wait for the dining room even ...

We have sailed before on different lines and knew what we were searching for -- quiet, mature relaxation. We found it on Holland America.
We made a point to search for ships that had no waterslides or theme parks on top.
We wanted no big crowds.
We wanted to be able to choose our dining time and table.
We wanted elegance.
We wanted mature, hospitable people around us.
Holland ...

Since this was my first Christmas sailing, I had some high expectations and I was pleased that HAL came through for my family and I. Christmas decorations were found throughout the ship, including a large gingerbread house display in the atrium and chocolate sculptures in the main dining room.
Overall, I was very pleased with the quality of food for dinner in the main dining room. There were at ...
