NOTHING can compensate a Guest for an Excessively Noisy Room

Boarding: Not an ideal situation. The evening before our departure we received notice that due to norovirus our boarding would be delayed. Good news is we were getting a nice clean ship! They did NOT, however, delay departure. So when we arrived, hours later than scheduled, we had a LONG, LONG, LONG, and hot line. At least our room was ready when we got to the end of the line. Short ...

After being on many Holland America cruises we decided to try the Koningsdam....Ship was nice. After been told our cabin was big enough for 3 adults we booked it...Big mistake...The person on the sofa was 5"5...Her feet hung over edge. Very uncomfortable. When the crew turned down the "sofa" for the night you couldn't move anywhere. No access to the balcony unless you crawled over the ...

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 ...

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 ...

This started poorly with the embarkation process. Very unorganized and SLOW. once onboard, no music (Usually a calypso band playing on other cruise lines), no welcome drink. To top it off, we didn’t leave Port for four hours waiting for the meat delivery! Holland did nothing to compensate for this late departure. Most lines will serve drinks or snacks or SOMETHING to ease the pain of ...

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 ...

For clarification - our cruise departed Ft. Lauderdale on 3/18 as a 10-day Southern Caribbean cruise and was actually the first leg of the 24-day cruise. We disembarked after the 10 days and did not continue on to Rome. We picked this cruise, in large part for the itinerary (Holland America/Carnival’s private island in the Bahamas, Grand Turk, Dominican Republic, Bonaire, Curacao and Aruba). ...
