1-10 of 43 Holland America Line Koningsdam Suite Cabin Cruise Reviews
Chose this cruise because it covered both Christmas and New Years. Got the Neptune Suite on Deck 4 that has the wrap around balcony because we love sitting outside watching the world go by and the stars a night. Suite is a little smaller than the normal NS but the balcony is enormous. Embarkation was a breeze, security and check in took a total of 10 minutes (arrived at 11AM) comfortable Suite ...
We had a great time on our first cruise on Koningsdam, cruising the Adriatic in late July/early August. The ship was beautiful and well maintained. The service on board was excellent. The ports of call were plentiful on this 12 day itinerary and although most ports were too crowded due to the dates we were traveling, we appreciated that this itinerary included ports like Koper and Korcula which ...
No one told me it would be impossible to change large Euro notes. Guest services warns against taking large notes on tour excursions yet refused to change my 200 Euro note so I could have smaller notes. The person at guest services went to plead my case to the purser. The purser opened the door, looked at me from the doorway, then went back in and the guest services person returned to say the ...
We had previously done a cruise with HA in 2015 and it was amazing. We thought we would receive the same service this time when we chose a 23 day Mediterranean Cruise.
The good points;
Amazing staff and so happy to greet you each day
Great ship, reasonably clean
Great Captain
Some entertainment was ok but repeated their shows quite often which were the same
Great selection of ...
Chose this itinerary because prior cruises skipped Turks, and we had never visited Bonaire and Curacao. We dined at Tamarind, ok, Pinnacle , not as good as Oceania's steak house, and Ship's 1 night where they try to do a Michelin 3 Star at Pinnacle for a big sur charge. Nice experience , but 30 plus minute wait for 4 couples with 8 PM reservations for days and no tables set up....not a 3 Star ...
We sailed the HAL Koningsdam on 12/28/18 for 7 nights on the Eastern Caribbean cruise and it was so refreshing, relaxing and enjoyable. We generally sail with Celebrity (have been on 7 Celebrity cruises in the last 3 years). We were on a wait list for the Celebrity Eclipse and Reflection but I wasn't feeling the possibility of getting on either of these ships very good so we branched out and ...
We were looking to get out of town (Ohio) for the Christmas Holiday. So why not go someplace tropical. We have been on 20+ cruises and chose this one for the cabin location and and Koningsdam. The ship turned out to be just what we had expected. It is a very beautifully appointed ship a little over 2 years old with lots of food and entertainment options from fancy to very casual. We fall more ...
We had a most enjoyable cruise on the Koningsdam, I would highly recommend visiting Europe in October as the crowds are less and the temperatures more enjoyable. A port-intensive cruise we only had two sea days to explore the ship. It is obviously in very good shape considering it is only a year old. We enjoyed the many venues both in dining and entertainment. Dining service was quite good and ...
