Bahamas Cruise Reviews

We've just returned from a 10-day, Panama Canal Cruise, starting, and ending in FLL. Before I begin expressing some of my dissatisfactions, I want to give high praise, to the ship's employees. They were Excellent!!!! I have been on numerous cruises, with other cruise lines, and found this Holland American Ship, lacking. I have never experienced, an additional fee, for any dish selection, ...

Our fourth cruise with HAL and second on the Eurodam with family in the next cabin and our first cruise since COVID hit. We had no idea things were this bad in the Industry that they were nickel and diming passengers every time you turned around. First time we had ever seen up charging for meals in the MDR and extra tip chits every time you ordered a drink with the drink package. Even the ...

We were on the Valiant Lady for 8 nights Eastern Caribbean departing March 25, 2023. What a spectacular cruise! The entire crew, happy, friendly, engaged, and could not do enough to make our voyage as pleasant as possible. We were always greeted with a smile and anything they could do to make our voyage special - every day, every crew member! The food was over the top! No buffets, all first ...

This was an Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Niew Statendam departing Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, 3/26/23. I was a little worried, as I had read recent reviews that Holland America cruises were not as good as they were pre-pandemic. I also read that the food was not as good. I am happy to report that all that turned out to be false! I could not be happier with our ...

We were excited to go on this cruise. We had not been on one since 2018. We knew going on that there would be generally older people but wow, there was mostly elderly on this cruise. There are pros and cons about that. The ship was very clean. Crew was very friendly. I’ve had better cruise food but I’ve had worse to. I like the music theme of the ship. I like the variety of music, such as the ...

I chose this cruise 6 weeks before we left. I did not read reviews - my mistake. The reviews are very accurate. Shop is old and out dated. Entertainment was good, however the 2 pools were too small and the kids took over the hot tubs as well as the over 21 area. No enforcement of any of the rules, saving launches chairs all day, code of conduct violations, drunken behavior isn the hallways by the ...

Virgin Voyages isn't like your traditional cruise line, and that's a good thing. It's considered a large ship but we never felt like it was big. Every place is intimate and you won't feel crowded at all. The food was always impeccable! I would say some of my favorites were the shrimp because they were always big and perfectly cooked. Pizza was always great too. The Wale had the best filet ...

My wife and I just returned from a 10-day Panama Canal Cruise from HAL Eurodam. We flew down to FLL on Friday March 24. It’s the tail end of Spring Break and every hotel near the airport was $300 per night or more. I booked a room using Marriott Bonvoy points at Towneplace Suites Ft Lauderdale West. It’s a 25-minute drive from the airport, but even if we had booked a hotel near the ...

Good: food variety and quality. Clean and pretty ship. Good port options. Reality: nickel and dime to death. Intentionally made it hard to keep water it drinks in room, no water fountains and only at a bar or open restaurant . Restaurants overbooked, wasted dining passes. Priority passes are worthless! No room on sun decks at all and no enforcement “no saving chairs or leaving chairs.” They ...

I chose this date and itinerary because of work/vacation date restrictions. I couldn't go any other date and wanted to try a 7 day on HAL. The positives: The service in every area is excellent. Every single crew member was pleasant, smiling and friendly. This was the best part for us. The ship is very pretty and very clean. Even in the Lido Buffet. I loved the hand washing stations and many ...
