Amsterdam Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We boarded the Amsterdam in Seattle on June 5th for our cruise to Alaska. We had stops in Juneau, The Hubbard Glacier, Sitka, Ketichikan and Victoria BC. We returned to Seattle on June 12th and disembarked. We chose HAL because CC had decent reviews, We wanted to leave from a US port and there was actually a sale occurring when we purchased the cruise.
Embarkation on the ship was easy and actually well planned out. Plenty of help was on hand and it only took about 1 hr. Considering about 1,400 other passengers were boarding with us it went quite well.
This was our first cruise with Holland America and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. We found our room on level 3 (lower promenade) with the help of the cruise director (Erin). Our impression of the cabin it was small, a bit dated but very clean and it just seemed fresh. It was an oceanview room which was ok since we were in Alaska and didn’t think the Verandah would be used much. After unpacking we toured the ship.
Cabin Review
Large Ocean-View Stateroom
Cabin was nice. The bed and bedding was comfortable. We liked that we were lower promedade as the 'walking deck' was right outside our room. We had no cabins to our Aft side
TV reception is limited but that's ok.for a cruise. The bathroom was a bit dated but clean. We actually would request this room again. Enough said.
