Review for a Alaska Cruise on Noordam

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
Embarkation - For years I have wanted to take an Alaska cruise and on September 9th I got my chance. I am fortunate enough to live in Seattle so the commute to the pier was very easy. I drove to a friend's house and he gave us a lift down to the pier. It was slightly more complicated because of the opening Seahawks game that day but we still made it there before noon. Process through the lines was ...

This was my first cruise since 1983. The previous cruise was noisy, crowded, and on a different cruise line. My expectations were exceeded by the Noordam and HAL Indonesian crew.
Embarkation was smooth - left the Sheraton downtown at 11:15am, and we were sitting down for lunch on the Lido deck at 12:10. The rooms were ready around 1:15. We had a SS level suite, which was roomy with plenty of ...

We decided to take both sets of parents on an Alaska cruise to thank them for all they have done for us over the years. This is a review of that cruise. We booked the Noordam 09/23/07 - 09/30/07 roundtrip out of Seattle. We booked guarantee HH cabins which are obstructed outside. We got a great price & did not mind the obstructed view at all. My parents are somewhat disabled & I had to rent a ...

Although this was my very first cruise, my expectations were high and I was not disappointed. I flew into Seattle from Los Angeles the morning of the cruise and arrived without incident. The transfer from the airport was through Holland America and it went like clockwork. The registration process took approximately 20 minutes and was also seamless. Upon boarding, I wandered around the ship just ...

Tom and I just returned from Holland America cruise number 13, our 15th cruise, 4th time to Alaska and our 2nd time doing this itinerary on this same cruise on the Beautiful MS Noordam this year. With the Noordam being the newest Holland America Ship and she was spending the summer sailing in Alaska here on the West Coast we decided early last year that this would be the best chance to sail on her ...

In all my years of travel, this was as close to a perfect vacation as I've had.
About 12 years ago, my sister and I had the Cruise-From-Hell (fortunately only 3 days of hell) on Royal Caribbean, so I was reluctant. My husband has back issues and is often a grumpy traveller. However, by mid-cruise, we were already planning on where to go next on the Noordam and/or HAL.
We were looking for a ...

We are in our early 40's and have been on 9 cruises on all different lines. This was our first trip to Alaska.
Embarkation: What a breeze, very calm people, no rushing, pushing and crazy people. Nice touch of big cookies, water, and lemonade while people waited to board the ship. Already got to know a few crew members while waiting. Convenient parking right outside the ship, but you better get ...

Overview: We questioned the inconsistent remarks on Cruise Critic before the cruise. Unfortunately we must confirm inconsistency of food and service. Not what we expect from a premium cruise line. This review covers only the ship, not the great excursions and fantastic scenery, nor the rainy weather in Sitka.
We are a 60 year old couple with eleven previous cruises; first time on HAL and our ...
