Anniversary Cruise and Birthday Celebration on HAL - very disappointing experience.
"Although the ship was not traveling in full capacity, HAL managed to assigned all veranda cabins on our floor right next to each other.Throughout our 7 day cruise, we had a neighbor to our right dragging their patio furniture during late evening [they were drinking on the veranda until late at night] and the neighbor to our left got up very early in the morning, talked loudly, competing with their high level TV volume control...."Read More

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

The thing that made Holland stand out from other Cruise lines and was a tradition is now gone.
On every Holland ship you could count on there would be a Priest. But now you are like any other cruise line a real disappointment.
Embarkation was a slow painful process it seems that Vancouver is becoming harder and harder to board. The ship was fine and the personnel were pleasant and ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
To be honest this was our first cruise. We chose hal because of its past reputation with Alaska cruises. Let me say right away, Alaska and Glacier Bay were outstanding. if you ever get a chance to visit Glacier Bay you must do it. It rates up there with Banff. However use another cruise line.
Embarkation took three hours plus, thousands of folks stuck in one building being shuffled around like ...

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

We had never been on a Panama Canal cruise even after having sailed on more than 50 cruises. Our cabin was a balcony and was very nice. This cabin was smaller than some we have enjoyed but was still fine. The fact it had a tub/shower was nice. The beds were comfortable with very nice pillows. The fact there was no turndown service was disappointing. This is the first time we have encountered this, ...

I am incredibly disappointed with HAL. I have traveled multiple times with this line and was always delighted.
That is not the case with my recent sailing on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Cleanliness was not a priority. In my cabin room, debris, old contacts, and gooey stuff were left in the trashcan, the bathroom floor wasn't clean, and neither was the area around the sink. The countertops in the ...

Stateroom 61** on April 2 sailing.
Chose this cruise for its itinerary.
The good:
-Room steward for our Stateroom 61** (Yurid?) was outstanding.
-Tamarind restaurant - Bonita and Ing Ing were five star servers
-Butler who was assigned to us for Half Moon Cay - Alvin - was outstanding
-Deck 11/explorer lounge is a beautifully kept place.
-Timely room service every morning ...

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

We selected this cruise because of the ports offered and the price point. We enjoyed our excursion on Grand Turk which involved a tour of the island, lunch and conch fritter making as well as a stop at Governor's Beach with chairs and umbrellas included as well. It was almost like being on a private beach! Our St.Thomas Tour was lackluster at best. Maegan's Beach was CROWDED and you had to rent ...

Awful! We had so many issues too numerous to name on this ship. We have said on 7 cruises and this was by far the worst. Seaview pool is not adults only. kids were there. Drink package...we had a hard time getting refills. Only until 10 at night, after that only after 6am. Ridiculous service at the bar areas. no hair dryer in the balcony cabins. had to ask for 1, took 2 days to get one. Dated ...

We normally cruise in Jan or Feb but this date, cruise and itinerary worked for us. The ship was sailing close to 100% full. Lots of people and small kids on spring break. Youngest crowd I can ever remember for Holland America ship. Probably just the timing with spring break, it didn't effect our cruise in anyway just caught us by surprise. The ship is showing it's age but has been kept up pretty ...

I cruised on the Niew Amsterdam a week or so ago with two friends. We had a great time.
it had been about 21 years since I had cruised on the Zandaam over the New Years holiday. That cruise was fun. (In the interim, I had taken about 25 cruises or so on various lines.) One of my friends picked this one, and I was wondering what we would get on board. It was terrific.
The precruise ...
