We took this cruise to Alaska because it was an outlier in price. The exact same cruise was 2x the price the rest of the year... so heck, why not? We went in with this in mind. First off, ship is smallest one we have ever been on. It's still bigger than all heck, but keep that in mind. It has less stuff to do. It has nothing fancy. The TV didn't even have a kids channel, only news, History ...

Disorganized crew. Restaurant maitre'd and serving staff did not know the menus. Bar staff did not know basic cocktail terms (neat, up, dry, etc). Food in MDR and buffet looked good, tasted blah (knives in buffet were so dull every time that I could cut neither an Eggs Benedict English muffin nor a carved slice of roast beef). That said, both the food and the service in the specialty restaurants ...

We chose Holland America line as we were told it was the best value in our price range. Overall the cruise was good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Premium restaurants were great and were very accommodating. Main dining and buffet is as you would expect. Entertainment was good but didn’t offer any real variety and with a ship full of folks everything was crowded. The excursions were the best part ...

We spent a lot of time, choosing this cruise and the reputation of Holland America was a major factor. It was a bucket list item, a once in a lifetime, “let’s go see Alaska”, and we took our adult handicapped nephew with us. We are his guardians and could not have been more clear with Holland America regarding our nephews limitations and the necessity for adjoining rooms, even calling several ...

We are excited to do an Alaskan cruise, and got balcony cabins so we could see the view and enjoy the outdoors. Balcony was approximately 2’ x 6’. Yes the chairs had to be turned sideways to fit on the balcony. The now only have one room make up a day no turn down service. The Buffet for breakfast was literally the same thing for seven days as was the lunch and dinner. The specialty restaurants we ...

Noro Virus, long lines, and so-so food

I chose Holland America for its good reputation. My cruise experience was very unpleasant and difficult. My cabin-mate got noro-virus, as did one-third to half the people in our tour group, and many other people on the ship. It was not being spread between cabin mates, so it must have been spread through dining services. I was told by medical that I was responsible for caring for my cabin mate, ...

EVERYTHING CLOSES AT 1130 -1200 even on the night they move back an hour at 2:00am. Its a vacation that feels like a prison for the elderly. I just want enough time to use my drink package but ya know be sober until noon. I dont understand why people choose to lie, if I ordef something that has chanterelle mushrooms on it and I receive buttons I feel cheated. This applies to things labeled ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was our 1st cruise and likely last! Our trip started and ended on less than pleasant vibe and for the $8k spent, I don't see why people cruise! We left out of Vancouver BC where 3 other ships were departing which means thousands of people to process in security so 4 hrs were spent in zigzag line. We were thirsty (no water source the entire time) and starving so we tried out the ...

A far cry from previous Princess cruises

We chose this cruise a Ruby status and we wanted to stick with Princess. Our previous cruises were fabulous. Our embarkation in Vancouver was a nightmare. We had a one o’clock boarding time, and due to Majestic arriving late, no one got to board until earliest 5:00. We had requested two twin beds, that was not done. I spent 15 minutes on guest services line (for suite passengers) to ask them ...

Have cruised with them 9 times previous. Shocking lack of cheerful, helpful employees. Expected service at least equal to prior cruises. Small stateroom amenities have always been a nice perk. Forgot shower cap, had to get one from front desk, same with extra washcloth. No omelette station at the buffet, only cold eggs (scrambled, sunny side up, etc.). Specialty restaurants low on staffing, ...
