A bit of a Westerdam disappointment

Review for a Transpacific Cruise on Westerdam

We had sailed the Westerdam a couple of times before and felt that it was one of the best ships of a very good line. The ship itself is still very good indeed, so why were we disappointed? Alas, just about every staffer we encountered seemed unfamiliar with their job. Standing in line for the front desk, a staffer came out and asked who needed service, but obviously everyone did if they were in ...

Unbelievable access to Hubbard Glacier but not sold on Holland America

This was our 2nd cruise on Holland and 4th Alaska cruise. Last year we were on Royal Caribbean and were in and out of the glacier in an hour. This time we were there for several hours and got to within 1/3 of a mile of the glacier. Lost count of how many times the glacier calved in front of us. Weather for the cruised ranged from the roughest night I have ever had at sea the first night out to ...

Cruise to Alaska was Wonderful but Holland America...Not So Much

I have been on 3 cruises before, two to Alaska and one to Hawaii, all on Princess. The first trip was amazing. The next two cruises showed signs of cutting corners to save money, like no fresh cookies at promenade eatery and over half of the lights burned out in the string that goes from bow to aft, little things. So decided to try a Holland America cruise to Alaska on the Eurodam. There were ...

We just got back from an 7-day Alaska cruise on the Eurodam. The service was impeccable. The food isn’t gourmet, but it’s quite good for mass produced fare. (Except the steaks at Pinnacle Grill were as tough as hockey pucks. ) We stayed in a verandah room with a balcony. There is plenty of room for storage. But the cabin is showing signs of wear (chipped furniture, moldy shower curtain, rusty ...

Post Covid Dilema

My husband and I chose this Cruise because of family. From the reviews I have read recently. it seems that all the lines are having trouble post Covid. This was our first time on Holland America, and to be fair, the service was excellent even if short handed. The waiters and room staff worked very hard to please everyone. We found the food to be awful. Tasteless, overcooked, and mostly ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Our 1st time on a cruise. Not real impressed with the physical condition of the ship. It supposedly was remodeled or updated in 2015 but it doesn’t show it! Many places & common areas smell bad~like urine & old sour mop water! The pool towels and third viewing deck blankets smell like mildew ALL OF THEM EVEN AFTER MENTIONING TO GUEST SVS.! I constantly held my nose navigating from one floor ...

There is no BB King blues or Lincoln theater. There’s a rolling stone lounge and a billboard area. The world stage is pretty with truly locally choreographed entertainment. If you enjoy educational seminars along with a few sprinkled activities. If you are looking for quiet and bored. This is your cruise. We loved the thermal spa. The specialty steak house was a disaster as it took 2.5 hours and I ...

An Average Experience with one Major Problem

I say average for several reasons. The food was good. Not great but good. The ship is long in the tooth. Our suite had numerous features that did not work. Woodwork was delaminating and looked bad. The room attendants were great. The entertainment was ok. Shore excursions were very good to very poor. Management is definitely "you will do it our way". So....net net...average. Worth the ...

Not what was expected

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We chose to go on this cruise (our very first cruise) because it was advertised as an Irish music cruise to Alaska promoted by Gertrude Byrne. We expected, from the title of the cruise, to be treated to true Irish music, along the lines of We Banjo Three and other types of traditional Irish sounds. What we got was primarily American country music sung by Irish bands. We are not fans of most ...

Onboard life good, but in-port experience poor.

Overall, post-COVID life on the Eurodam was about 95% of what is was before the pandemic. We sailed a few days later (May 20, as opposed to about May 12) than usual, and although we noticed some cuts, ship life was still good. The cabin crew is outstanding, the ship was clean and attractive, the food was very good (we like the Lido for wider selection), and lectures were also good. This year they ...
