This was our 3rd time going to Alaska but our first time continuing on to Denali. We absolutely Love Alaska! and there is no better way than to travel than with Holland America! We sailed up several fjords to Harvard Glacier and many other glaciers (but I forgot all their names). The seas were very calm the weather was clear (luckily) and we even saw a pod of whales off our balcony! The staff ...

Very poor health protocols

This ship needs an overhaul. Inconsistent service, poor maintenance. Zero health protocols. Other than the Rolling Stone Lounge, entertainment was very poor. After more than 100 nights on HAL, this was by far worst cruise. It seemed that everyone on board was sick and no one was enforcing hand sanitizing or encouraging masks if sick. Passengers didn’t seem to give a darn about spreading their ...

This is the second time we've cruised with Holland America (The first being in 2014 on the Niew Amsterdam) as a large family group. We had 22 family members on board this time around and 6 kids ranging from 3 to 11. We really enjoyed our cruise and thought the crew went above and beyond for us as a family. They always acknowledged our kids and did little things to make their experience extra ...

We wanted something different and sailing on The Koningsdam certainly filled the bill. From joining the ship in Vancouver, to disembarking there the following week, we had the most relaxing but fun filled time My stateroom on the sundeck was exceptional, as was the service from Ho Ho and Jo Jo,my stewards and Ana in laundry I ate breakfast mainly in The Lido or at the poolside bar , ...

We had been planning a cruise tour and my brother booked this one, so it was similar to what we were looking at. Our room stewards were excellent. There was plenty of activities to keep you going if you wanted. We had sprinkles or rain most days but still had great views. New York pizza was very good. Also the fries at Dive In, just really good. Pinnacle Grill, filet was excellent along with ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This cruise was wonderful in every aspect. The food and service were exceptional in the Lido market, the scenery was magnificent, seeing whales and sea otters magical, and there were places to find early in the morning to be alone and take photos of the sunrise. We went on the Tracy Arm inlet excursion and it was breathtaking. We also took the train out of Skagway which I highly recommend. The ...

I choose the cruise because the Casino paid for my room. I upgraded to an Obstructed View Veranda. It was not that bad of an obstructed view but may go a floor higher next time. I met some great people aboard and the excursions were a lot of fun. I felt the Dinning Room lacked some of the great service I have had from previous cruises. They did not present well and a few times got my order ...

One of my bucket list items was to visit Alaska. Plus I have visited 49 of the U.S. State Capitol buildings as kind of a hobby, so Juneau was intriguing. My older sister (71, wheelchair bound amputee) suggested in fall of 2022 for myself, her, and our other brother and his wife to do an Alaska cruise. So I researched them and we were torn between going in Aug or Sep 2023. Aug is rainiest, and ...

Need to advise outside of restaurants what is extra fees

The ship is beautiful but when you first board onto the ship it's very new to everyone. Your welcomed into restaurants that have the fees and expenses and your not advised. They ask for cards and not tell you that the restaurants have additional prices. Things can add up very fast when you're unaware if it's on your package or not. When you have elderly and if your elderly are not in a ...

Grace in the piano ...
