Went on this cruise for my late honeymoon with my wife. Service and staff was generally amazing, the team keeping the ship clean and serving the food in the Brittania restaurant were top notch. Afternoon tea was wonderful we went almost every day, and the gala nights were really nice. It's wonderful to still have cruise lines that keep things classy. The food that we got was great and tasted ...

I'm not normally someone to complain and I generally try to approach things with empathy but I was so disappointed by this cruise. First of all, we booked my parents (aged 65-70) an accessibility room which was not at all accessible. The cruise line refused any type of compensation even though one of the staff suggested they fight for it. At 6'5 My father couldn't even fit on the bed and my ...

I always tell people to take reviews with a grain of salt - some people are just complainers ... and some see everything with rose-colored glasses. But when the same complaints come up again and again, do not ignore the warnings. The negative comments regarding this ship - are accurate. 1. Noordam is OLD, tired, and worn out. It deserves a major overhaul. Not only is the furniture, art, ...

This was a family Christmas get together, the old saying you get what you pay for …. If you like standing in lines for food, being sat on a Tender for over 45 minutes on the water, not being able to get off in searing heat, then trying to get back to the ship, lining up for hours, again in the heat, whilst they only ran 2 Tenders, welll this is the cruise for you. Accounts paid in full for on ...

Couple 60s, 26 cruises with various cruiselines worldwide. This 10/12/23 cruise was our 3rd HAL cruise and our first since mid 2019. Previously we cruised on the old Statendam and in 2019, Maasdam. Both were excellent, entertaining, enriching, educational overall fabulous cruises. We had such high hopes for returning to HAL on the Noordam December 10 2023 round trip Sydney-NZ-Sydney cruise. ...

My husband & I travelled with 8 other friends. Overall, we had a great time BUT we didn't walk away with raving reviews. Our cabin was clean and our bed was comfortable. The staff were very attentive and polite. This is obviously a very important feature. The entertainment was great. The theme nights were a lot of fun. The decor on this ship is compared to a sensory nightmare. The ...

We chose this cruise a year ago because of the lack of local ships and the itinerary was Ok. However it was changed to visit Noumea twice due to NC government rules. Due to this, many people cancelled and the cruise was sold cheap and given away to many gamblers. This was the last of 7 cruises done on this ship in the last 8 months, so we knew what to expect. What we got was quite ...

It took over an hour embarking and we were there when only a few people were waiting. The way of doing things in general appeared much slower than other cruise ships we have been on. The first feed days of the cruise during the day there was always a long line for guest services counter. The guest were mainly older Americans. The entertainment on the ship was very poor, some acts did repeats on ...

Chose this cruise for a 21st birthday The food was terrible only food that was half decent was 24 hour pizza and the sandwich bar. The all you can eat buffet was crap they just couldn’t even get the simple things right. We went to the restaurant for 2 nights the first night I got a steak which I thought might’ve been nice being at the restaurant but was nothing fancy at all no one in ...

Boarding was seamless and the ship was in excellent condition for wear and tear and cleanliness Our cabin was immaculate, however we experienced poor sleep due to hard beds and pillows and the shower was the smallest I have ever experienced on a cruise ship. The games deck was the best I have seen for senior passengers but not so for young passengers. The taste of the water was ...
