Holland America Line Noordam Cruise Reviews for Gay & Lesbian to the Caribbean

Let me begin by saying that by no means are we rookie cruisers and we are both over the age of 60.  We have cruised on Regent Seven Seas, Celebrity, RCI, Carnival, and NCL but never cruised on HAL.   I have been wanting to do this particular cruise for the last 3 years because we hadn't been to several of the ports on this itinerary.  I had also been told that the food and service was better on ...

So this is late but as I'm currently looking into another cruise and spending time cruise critic reminds me that I never posted my review. We stayed in room 7142 category SB.

One perk of this type of room was a private lounge area that provide snacks ...

HOLLAND AMERICA WAYFARER SOUTHERN CARIBBEAN CRUISE ON NOORDAM. The private garden tours led by Andre Viette were fabulous. The only positive aspect of the trip. Embarkation was slow.

The lines at the buffet in the morning and at lunch were very inconvenient. We tried the ...

First I would like to say my husband and I love to cruise. We've been on 8 other cruises. We've been on Carnival, Princess and RCCL. We tried HAL because it's one of the few that leaves from NY in the winter months. I'm sorry to say we should have stayed home! HAL was so bad all around that I wanted to be a stow away on another cruise ship in one of the ports! EMBARKATION; This went smoothly ...

Embarkation- The embarkation in New York was very smooth. The previous cruise got in late to New York due to bad weather and we still were able to board before 1:00. Overall Experience- I am writing the review as a warning to others with children thinking of booking a Holland America Cruise - I would seriously reconsider. We were booked on a Easter Holiday cruise, where 450 kids were expected on ...
