If you are looking for excitement and entertainment on this ship your are on the wrong ship. My experience was having to stand in long lines waiting for a small portion food in the Lido dinning room. Take your own bath soap if you are allergic to mint dispense soap and you are not going to get any body lotion. Place the do not disturb sign on your door if you don't want the attendant ...

We heard great things about Holland America but unfortunately for us, none of it was true. Service was horrible in all areas , from the cabin to the pool bar. We had the drink package and didn't have more than 4-5 drinks a day. At times, no one would wait on us. The ship itself was beautiful but service is more important to us. I had an appointment for accupuncture and when i got there, my ...

Because it fit in with a followup to our WONDERFUL ROYAL CARIBBEAN HARMONY OF THE SEAS the prior week! --1st big thing is 900 gospel singers on the ship that they couldn't totally fill leaving people like us as LEFTOVERS. They got early entertainment, ours was 9:00 p.m. We were not told this was the scenario when we booked directly with them. I asked the front desk on the 1st day WHY we were ...

Went on this ship from Ft Lauderdale, December 27th 2017. We chose this ship because the dates fit for our family. The ship was very clean and looked very impressive. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. The staff at the excursion desk were wonderful. The food on board in the restaurant was on par with Carnival, plain, boring and cold, we expected more from a new ship that ...

WORST CRUISE EVER

I am top level with Cunard and Princess. I needed a one week Caribbean cruise near Christmas. Cunard only had a 2 week from New York and Princess didn't fit my dates. I hadn't sailed Holland America since 1973 so I decided to try it. I knew I made a mistake the minute I walked on board Eurodam. The atrium area was dreary and had no activities around it. Other complaints included running out of ...

We booked this cruise last summer so we could spend some time with old friends and enjoy some warm sunshine and fun at the same time. From the first night we did not have a working toilet. As they said there were others in our area ofe the ship with the same problem. They blamed it on past passengers flushing foreign material down the toilet but we think the system was just broke down. We had ...

recommended by a friend but I will not recommend Our cabin was obstructed by a lifeboat and we were not told that. Bedding was not changed the full 2 weeks we were there. Very small smoking area and no smoking in the casino at all. I was not impressed with this cruise line at all and will not cruise again on Holland America. Nor will I recommend this line. Dr wait was more than 2 1/2 hours ...

We were told this was a new ship, nice decor, good for dancing. What a disappointment this has been! We sailed from JAN 8-22 and paid well over 5 figures. This was the worst and most uninteresting, boring cruise we had ever been on. First of all the management seemed disorganized from start to finish. We would be sent to events that did not exist. Upon embarkation, 3 pieces of luggage arrived and ...

of 26 cruises this was the worst entertainment, activities and lack of such made this the worst of worst. Food was the one good thing, The ship caters to the very elderly which is fine but the lack of activities especially around th pool is ridiculous on any cruise. the shows were the worst I have ever seen and the overall experience was as though the line were trying to save money The ...

The ship is not cleanness. The bathroom in the stateroom had mildew. In the pool are had mildew too. The pool chairs was terrible dirty. The cruise director was not professional is the bad cruise director I meet with other cruise directors in holland america. The food is not good in main dinning room. I preferred Eurodam. The only billboard bar crew was made a extraordinary job and ...
