Alaska the Beautiful
"Ketchikan was our first rainy day and the all day excursion we had reserved was cancelled so we made due with walking around and exploring and rushing back to the ship to eat a quick lunch to meet up with our excursion for the lumberjack show.to be able to get so close and have the ship slowly turn and spend most of the day there just takes your breath away...."Read More

This was our first Holland America cruise. This was our second trip to Alaska. The first trip to Alaska was on Celebrity and we did the land plus cruise experience. This trip was cruise only. Initially, the reason we selected Holland America was the fact that they are one of very few lines that can cruise Glacier Bay. (Celebrity does not). When it is simply my wife and I we have tended to ...

I'll break this into pros and cons. PROS. The ship is a perfect size with a good layout. It is generally clean. Very little vibration and mostly at the back. Seemed to be in good repair. I found the beds a little hard but my wife liked them. THE FOOD. Generally good and better than many other lines. Buffet selections varied from day to day with some common themes like Asian, Carving ...

Great Getaway - HAL Changes Not So Great

We have been sailing with HAL since 1985 and are 4 star Mariners. We could have been 5 star had we been willing to book cabins without baloneys or amenities we have come to enjoy. Once HAL started offering this outside space, we were hooked. Unfortunately, this comes with a price...fewer cruises. We booked this trip because it was reasonably, gave us a chance to breakaway from the spring ...

PRE-EMBARKATION: We requested tactile hearing devices to be installed in our cabin and received a confirmation email a month prior to sailing stating the info was forwarded to the appropriated department on the boat. In the evening on day 1, I went to guest relations to inform them of the issue. The ship had no record of our request. Two days into the cruise we were playing telephone tag with ...

Disappointing, after over 350 days of cruising, this is our the first cruise disappointment.

MV KONINGSDAM, Holland America Line, 18 days cruise, Vancouver, BC, return, to Hawaii, voyage K327 Disappointment. To say the least. Unclear policy and unhelpful guests’ services, pre-cruise Chaotic Embarkation Disorganization of the Restaurant Food rationing – unbelievable!

This cruise was wonderful. Embarkation was horrible. No order. It was simply a free for all. No one followed what order there was. Our dining room waiters were great and we never had a bad meal. These waiters would stand on their heads if you asked them to. Our room stewards were wonderful. Kept our cabin very clean. We made our own bed. Anything to make their job easier. The ...

Hi from Oregon. We are a 4-star and just completed this cruise. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Old Town. It has airport/port shuttle and full breakfast. If you don't like sea days this is not a cruise for you. I happen to love them so it's fine for me. We were in a Vista Suite on the aft. Lots of walking so you'll get your steps in. After we disembarked in San Diego the ship came up to ...

2600 passengers was for me, too many. There were lines from time to time especially in the Lido Market. The worst part was that many people were coughing, some constantly. Of course, few people get tested because they do not want to be quarantined in their cabin. However, I was not feeling well, got tested and got covid. I was therefore, quarantined to the cabin for the last three days ...

We are frequent cruises (2-4 per year) AND long-time travelers to Hawaii, going every 3 - 4 years for the last 30 years. In a tourist-way, we feel we know the islands pretty well. We picked this trip to see if cruising might be a way to keep visiting them as we get older . The flight from the east coast is long and tiring, and I can see the time coming when we will be less comfortable driving ...

We arrived in San Diego several days ahead and stayed across from the cruise pier at the Residence Inn by Marriott. It was fun to wake up with the ship arrived outside of your hotel room window. With six trips on Holland America ships, including the Nieuw Statendam in 2019, and great memories from previous trips to Hawaii, we thought that this would offer a perfect winter getaway. This round ...
