Chose this cruise for intergenerational travel with my parents and children. LOVELY way to cover a lot of ground. We used the ship more as a means of transportation to get from point A to point B, but it was a really wonderful trip. ...

August is a good time to get out of Texas, and this cruise fit the bill - except for couple of rainy days, it was in the upper 50s to low 70s and sunny the entire trip.
This was the first time we've sailed on Holland America, and we ...

We Had an amazing week on the Maasdam. We were hesitant to book this because of other reviews saying the ship was old and needed to be fixed but so happy we did. Yes it is an older ship but if you know that then you can expect what comes ...

We wanted to explore New England and Canada's eastern coast as my husband had fond memories of it. So me, my husband and two adult children decided this would be the cruise. The Maasdam is a smaller ship. We only had 1100 on board when ...

This was our 4th HAL cruise (plus several on other lines). We signed on for this cruise while in Alaska a year ago, enjoying that a lot and wanting to do this itinerary. We stayed one night at the Epik Hotel in Montreal, just a block from ...

We chose the Maasdam for the great itinerary which sailed the St. Lawrence River from Montreal, so nearly all of the sailing was scenic and in very calm waters. We loved Montreal, Quebec City, PEI, Nova Scotia and Bar Harbour. Weather was ...

Large Oceanview cabin was clean and the ...

This trip met all our expectations. Embarkation was quick and easy we boarded ahead of schedule. Disembarkation was equally as easy. Took a transfer from port to airport - wise idea.
Ship is older but in great shape. Well ...

I chose this cruise because it was the only one that went to Quebec City and Montreal. It exceeded my expectations with regard to service, food, and especially entertainment. Shows were varied and exceptional. I would recommend this cruise ...

Overall the trip was wonderful, but there were some larger scale issues we encountered that certainly did not ruin the trip, but caused some discomfort (this will be at the end of the con section)
Pros: All of the employees we ...

Holland America has a lock on the Canada/New England route in the summer, so the only choice was which of their two ships and which direction to travel. I chose the Maasdam from Montreal to Boston. I was delighted to find the ship in ...

The Maasdam was a great ship based on what you are looking for. Happy and helpful crew. Very clean ship. All the public areas and cabins are great and not really showing their age. Cabin windows look bad inside and out as well as ...

When it rained, which it did most days, the crew brought out buckets to catch the rain coming thru the roof. Watch dripping in the buffet line was discussing. Some bathrooms on top deck closed due to flooding. I am great full the ship ...

We chose this itinerary because we love the smaller S class ships. Soon they may be a memory. We like warm weather and were pleasantly surprised with each of the five ports we visited not to mention Boston and Montreal. The weather was ...

A balcony cabin on deck 9 was good for us, as I wanted views of the coast and passing vessels. Starboard side would be ideal for this Montreal to Boston trip. Decks 9 or 10 are convenient to dining and facilities. Food selection was ...

At the end of my last HAL review for CC, I said “we’ll be back only with a great itinerary plus a significant upgrade and discount.” For our 15th Holland America cruise, we got both, cancelling a trip on the same ...

We have cruised many times with HAL, and we've enjoyed all of the ships on which we've sailed. The Maasdam was the smallest HAL ship we've cruised, so we didn't know what differences we'd see. Our experiences with HAL have always been ...

We selected the Maasdam Panama Canal cruise since the ship visited 12 ports over the 24 days. We were able to visit 8 ports we had never visited before. There was also no tendering at any port that was great and made the port experience ...

We choose this cruise for the Panama Canal, which was an excellent experience. But the ship either needs three months in drydock for upgrades or to be target practice for the Holland Navy.
The AC did not work in many staterooms. It ...
