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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and the convenience of round trip San Diego. We did do shore excursions in almost every port and knew we would need to since most ports were in the middle of nowhere and industrial. We enjoyed the ...

As always on HAL, the staff were amazing: good-humored, helpful, considerate, resourceful, and always smiling. BUT our room was like a refrigerator most of the time; leaks around the ship were scary; much of the furniture is shabby. ...

Chose solely for the Itinerary, 3 days in Lima, allowing for Macchu Pichu trip.
The friendly but sometimes dozy staff, were average best. The cruise director, if you wish to call him that was invisible. Boring sea days, no music, ...
