The Most Disappointing Travel/Cruise Experience Ever

I am incredibly disappointed, frustrated and feel ripped off that I paid full price for a Holland America Cruise, that did not cater to my age group, and had so many port stops cancelled. On top of this, the Shore Excursions advertised by Holland America on the Navigator App, and website were not what was delivered by the Tour Guides and the Greenhouse Spa experience was also very substandard. ...

My experience on the Nieuw Amsterdad was far from what was advertised. I did not find the dining to be top notch. Pinnicle was very overrated. I tried the porkchop and needed a chainsaw to cut it. My wife tried the Hallibut and it was so dry you could use it as an ink blotter. The main dining room was mediocre at best. We were at sea 11 days of our 15 day cruise because 4 ports were ...

Of course, we were attached to metal lines with metal equipment. There was a flood of the ...

They sent as a coupon. 1) My husband booked me a 2 hours spa treatment. I was taken in late for my treatment, while i did the seaweed wrap the therapist left the room , and never bothered to come check on me, and ask how i was doing. The massage was probably the worst massage i have ever had. Once the treatment was done, she was trying to sell me $ 350+ worth of products, and trying to talk ...

Wasted vacation of my life. Got the worst cruise ever. Thought we'll have some relaxing ang fun cruise but it was the opposite. I'd been to other cruises and we had a great time and met with some fun people. We don't go on vacation very often and spending all this time and money is a big waste. First of all, we did not have a good sleep because of the loud noises of the wind panel, we got too ...
