Holland America Line Eurodam Cruise Reviews for Romantic to Europe from Rome (Civitavecchia)

That was our first cruise for 11 nights. We loved it, service, food, entertainment incredible. We had our 20th Anniversary at the Pinnacle on the night that it featured that great American Establishment, Sirio Maccioni's legendary New York Restaurant "An Evening at le Cirque" with a change to its wine list and table decorations, photos of the ( Rat Pack) Stars and the menu serving Lobster ...

We took this Med cruise after a tour of Italy in order to see more places, and we definitely did the right thing. The food was wonderful, service was great, and the shore excursions were spectacular - BUT - this is the darkest, dreariest ship that we have ever been on (and it was our 10th across 5 cruise lines). Where are the public rooms? The "atrium" area at the bottom of the main staircase had ...

We chose this cruise as transportation and lodging for visits to Livorno, Monaco, Tunisia, Sicily, and Naples. In that aspect, it was very good. As a cruise ship for comfortable open spaces, people watching, and relaxation, it misses the boat (no pun intended) completely. I completely agree with GrannyJKP - it looks like the 70's, is dark and dreary. It was clean, but the carpets worn. There is no ...

.. but for sure not the last. We chose HAL due to time constraints - our travel partners needed to go earlier in 2014 than we planned. It turned out to be no problem and we were told we beat some of the larger crowds that show up later. This was our 9th cruise overall. We have tried Princess, RC, Carnival, and NCL . When not traveling with our family, we enjoy Princess, but the kids and grand ...

We took the April 22, 2014 19 day "Explorer" cruise, which was 7 day Rome to Rome and 12 day Rome to Copenhagen back-to-back combined cruises. It was my 14th cruise (including 2 river cruises) and our 6th on Holland America. I have read several of the previous reviews, and I'm (surprisingly) not as negative as the other posters - but not enthusiastically wild about it either. The good: Cabin: ...

I'm a big cruiser and I had only been on Holland one other time. I've been told that it's wonderful and step above. Know I have my own opinion and let me tell you I was VERY disappointed. I loved the cruise, the ports and traveling with friends. This ship has a BIG problem with the dinning room staff being trained. I can't remember one meal in which all courses came hot. How would you like your ...

We just took the 7 day Mediterranean Glamour Cruise, which was a disappointment. This was my 4th HAL cruise, and I don't know if I'd cruise with them again. Within 5 minutes on board, I noticed what I perceived to be significant wear and tear on the overall condition; I was shocked to hear this ship is only a few years old. I was certain it was ready for a significant update. The decor seemed ...

All I have ever heard is how great Holland America is. Well it looks like I hit the wrong ship or just the wrong time. Don't get me wrong many things were great and I still had a wonderful vacation traveling with a group of friends. Main problems were the dinning room and the food. Out of the 16 nights in the dining room I ate 12 meals. I can't think of one night everything was good. If it wasn't ...

Our embarcation process was quite smooth and there was no one else in line. The only issue was that our driver had a difficult time trying to locate the exact spot to drop us off. Our room was ready upon our arrival, three pm. Our luggage was in our room within a couple of hours. We had purchased a wine package and would recommend that option to others. We reserved dinner at the specialty ...

We really enjoyed our first adventure to Europe. We flew into Rome and spent 3 days there, then took a private car to the port of Civitavecchia. Embarkation was easy and relatively fast. Went to the Lido for lunch and then visited with new friends. Took a quick tour of the ship. Before long, we heard the announcement that rooms were ready and headed to suite SA/7044. The room was large and ...
