First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Here’s what I wish I knew before I went. Excellent location for access to the front of the ship, spa, wet steam, dry sauna, hydro pool, gym, kid-free sundeck on deck 12. The food was excellent everyday except the first day in the Lido. On that day I got the lasagna from the buffet that was not very good. However I was told the lasagna in the dining room was much much better. In fact the lasagna ...

Many of our friends sail on Holland America and after many cruises on Princess, Celebrity and Royal, we decided to try this line. We took Amtrak from Ohio to Fort Lauderdale (dont care to fly ). Boarded Nieux Amsterdam on 7 day cruise to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, Puerto Rico and St Thomas USVI. Embarkation went well and we were on the ship in less than half hour. We chose inside cabin on Deck ...

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 ...

We have been on this ship once before on a land and sea trip to Alaska in 2019. We didn't get to spend much time on the ship so we thought we would do it again on the 7-day Southern Carribean. Although our itinerary was changed a few times we didn't mind because we love sea days. The weather was beautiful. The service was outstanding. All of the servers remembered our names and treated us ...

My friend and I were on Rotterdam last February and loved it. We want the "mature" passengers of Holland so this itinerary looked perfect for this year's birthday cruise. We originally booked a verandah on deck 4. We were offered an upgrade about 3 weeks out which we did not take, again the next week, and finally we were offered a third upgrade and we took it ($559 per person to upgrade to a ...

Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise XXVII....really enjoyed this ship! Boarding was a breeze, as was our debark on the last day. Our cabin was only an ocean view and on Deck 1, but OMG, it was really roomy and comfy. We usually get balconies and really don't use them, so just the window was perfect. Our cabin stewards, Putu and Tri were awesome! So friendly, efficient and took care of us all ...

After several cruises on other lines and a long time with no cruises at all, we were so happy to be back on a 'dam ship again. Just as we remembered, Holland America Line is the best. We had a wonderful cruise, in large part due to the excellent staff on board. We were pampered at every step and treated like long lost friends. The food has always been good on HAL and this cruise it was better than ...

This was a chartered cruise. We went for the entertainers. I believe there were 1600 passengers and 850 crew. No one got sick. Ship was spotless.staff was excellent. The food which is usually sumptuous was not that great. It was OK but not up to HAL standards. Embarking and getting off was smooth for us. We were docked at pier 26. Nice terminal and very well organized. Still don't approve of ...

First of all, if you are cruising during this time you need to be flexible. Itineraries and protocols change regularly. We are experienced cruisers (10+) in our early 40s with a 6 year old. This was our first time on HA but one of our best cruises yet. We picked HAL because of its fairly strict Covid measures (almost no vax exemptions, masking, testing etc). We originally booked a balcony on ...

Our group of 17 had a delightful cruise aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam last week.  The ship was very clean and well maintained. I had been on her before and knew I was a fan, and this trip confirmed it. Easy layout and just the right size. There are some places with wear, but nothing major (the old carpet in the spa area comes to mind). The ship was less than half full, and boy does this spoil you! ...
