Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Koningsdam

We chose this cruise because we've enjoyed Holland America cruises in the past, and because the itinerary was what we were looking for.
Sadly, Holland America has declined sharply in recent years. This cruise was like staying in a second-rate Las Vegas hotel:
*smokey casino, with smoke drifting into other areas of the ship
*deafening music in all the music venues
*no classical music ...

The good... the food and the wonderful staff at the restaurants and Lido. The room is nice and the room stewards are amazing. The boat was generally pretty clean for as many sneezing, coughing, and dirty people there were. The hot tubs were clean. Laundry service is well worth the cost. The bartenders and wait staff around the outdoor pool area are the hardest working people I've seen on the boat. ...

Spending Christmas and New Year's at sea in Hawaii is a dream come true. It's a long trip from San Diego to Hawaii but it's worth it. The seas are rough for the first few days and the last couple days heading back but in between is fabulous.
No whales were sighted but we saw dolphins near Ensenada. There were many awesome sunrises and sunsets as we expected and were not disappointed. We had ...

Not so happy cruiser

We selected this cruise because of the itinerary and wanted to see the South Pacific!
Three ports visited on a Sunday! NOTHING OPEN! Except a McDonalds in one port. Papeete was a two day stop and was closed for a national holiday Veterans Day. The excitement was watching the re-provisioning of the ship. Another port and a canceled port we cruised around the destination and looked at it from ...

Selected this cruise to celebrate my wife's retirement. She wanted to sail to/through French Polynesia. First HA cruise. Despite the warnings about HA appealing to an older demographic (average age is 70), that has not been a problem at all. But after many cruises on Princess & Celebrity, the level of service particularly in the restaurant has been disappointing. The menu descriptions bear no ...

Hi from Oregon. We are a 4-star and just completed this cruise. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Old Town. It has airport/port shuttle and full breakfast. If you don't like sea days this is not a cruise for you. I happen to love them so it's fine for me. We were in a Vista Suite on the aft. Lots of walking so you'll get your steps in. After we disembarked in San Diego the ship came up to ...

Waiting hours for dinners
Rude Hawaii guy
A big sales pitch
Late to first port causing us to miss excursion
Same food over and over
Insulting comedians
Nothing to do on the way back
Running out of stuff
No room people everywhere overcrowded
People holding reserving places with one person for ten or 12 people so you can’t find a place to sit for ...

2600 passengers was for me, too many. There were lines from time to time especially in the Lido Market.
The worst part was that many people were coughing, some constantly. Of course, few people get tested because they do not want to be quarantined in their cabin.
However, I was not feeling well, got tested and got covid. I was therefore, quarantined to the cabin for the last three days ...

I Chose this cruise because I wanted to go to Hawaii via California. My first on a Holland ship. Generally I go on Carnival because it is more geared to my budget.
What is my favorite ship was a question I got asked a lot. My favorite is the one I am on at the time. They all have good times, entertainment, food and a place to sleep. Great vacation.
This was a beautiful ship. The ...

We were looking for a January cruise , but not Caribbean. We also wanted an embarkation port we could reach easily. San Diego was an easy direct flight. We wanted a cruise that was longer than 12 days; and finally, we had never been to Hawaii, so this itinerary checked all the boxes.
We thought the staff, particularly Leo and Juan, bartenders, Tri, our MDR waiter and our incredibly hard ...
