Not Quite Epic, But Worthwhile
"Bringing Back some of the traditions we love about Holland America:
Lunch in the Main Dining Room on embarkation day, the Captain’s Brunch for 4- and 5-star Mariners, (with the traditional “dam ships” toast and tiles), chocolates at night and towel critters at least on gala nights.The Ports:
With one exception (listed under the not-so-good) the ports were interesting and fitting to the cruise...."Read More

We had a great cabin - aft, veranda - that we loved. No diesel, smoke/ash and little noise from Lido above. Great views, tiny sitting area.
We chose to take meclizine, starting the night before our cruise. This was the most sea we've seen on any cruise (still topped out at 2+ meters - 7-8 foot swells) and were both fine. I had anxiety but no actual motion sickness. There was an outbreak of ...

As one of Holland America’s Legendary Cruises (and also as one of the most expensive), the Voyage of the Vikings on the Zuiderdam, which sailed July 22-August 26, 2023, should have been nothing short of epic. It fell short of that goal, but was still very good and certainly worthwhile.
This review will cover the good things we experienced, as well as the not-so-good things.
THE GOOD ...

This was a 35 days cruise and sure enough I got Covid after about day 25. It was well handled, but what surprised me was that there were no announcements each day at noon as to how many people were in quarantine. It was a big secret. Without transparency on this, it makes you reluctant to travel again.
I also got a fungal infection on my toe, which makes me wonder about the hygiene standards ...

Choose this cruise for its itinerary. Ireland / Iceland / Greenland, wow.
All cruises have their plus and minuses.
Major plus was the limited passengers (under 1700), and the route.
Minuses was the disappointment in the food.
Signature suite 6055 was nice and roomy.
Entertainment good, services great (go find David in the Oceans Bar for the 4-5pm happy hour, he has great ...

As always, this review will try to focus on the little things that might be missed, along with the details that may be overlooked in a broader review. This is especially true for the independent travelers who may wander off and do things on their own in each location.
Rotterdam Pre -cruise/ Embarkation: We flew into Amsterdam and took the train to Rotterdam. Sine there were four of us, I took ...

I'd have given this cruise an overall raging of 5 were it not for HAL cheating out on food, service and entertainment.
Food was almost always JUST warm. No flavour and boring, I brought my own garlic powder is that's an indication. Wine staff are ill equipped to offer any advice and are mostly bored with the job. We usually like to attend the Sip and Savour but after one, we stayed away ...

All in all, this turned out to be a pretty good cruise. The itinerary got changed around a bit for a number of reasons. We had bad weather in the Labrador Sea which caused us to miss two port calls, also, on the way to St. John’s , we needed to double back and assist in the search efforts for a person who went missing from another cruise ship that was in our area so we missed that port and ...

We chose this cruise purely for the itinerary, and knew nothing about Holland America. But so glad we took a chance! Friendliest crew we have ever met on a cruise- ok. we didn't meet our cabin steward till the second day, but no problem. Lots of things on this ship that we felt were done very well. We loved the system with sunbeds- no need for pool towels in our room- they're already rolled up and ...

Cruised with HAL before and found them good, same service etc on this cruise.
I didn’t book the drinks package and found it was cheaper to pay as you go especially as the cruise had happy hour a few times each day. (Buy one and get another for 2$)
The entertainment was good from the main dancers and singers but the comedian was awful. The group ‘Five o’clock somewhere’ where good singers but ...
