Wanted to see Hawaii. Twice we requested wake up calls and did not receive.Holland web site advertises Dutch Cafe 16 Dutch and Belgium beers with 4 on tap. DID NOT HAVE.

Food variety at Lido dining poor.Taramand fee ...

Anniversary Cruise to Hawaii

We chose this cruise because our 45th anniversary would be celebrated while onboard, as well as the fact that we live close to the cruise port and would not have to fly prior to or after the cruise. We had the HIA package and booked our specialty dinners prior to sailing, as well as booking our shore excursions before sailing so we were ensured of them not selling out before we got onboard. I also ...

Blues Band was outstanding--everything else was barely acceptable

I took neighbours on the Koningsdam in August 2022 and everything on the ship was delightful. Barely eight months later, almost everything on the ship was appalling. Gustavo Antorcha, HAL CEO, has stated: On each ship, the guest experience attracts cruisers back again and again with the best live music at sea, a culinary program that rivals the best land-based restaurants, and engaging ...

This was our 3rd cruise with Holland America and our second on the Koningsdam, and first to Hawaii. It was a test run of a longer cruise with more sea days, with splendid results: we loved the sea days, and the tour around the Hawaiian islands was a lot of fun. We booked an inside cabin and a Retreat cabana, rather than a Veranda room. We were happy with the inside cabin, which was roomy, ...

Disappointing, after over 350 days of cruising, this is our the first cruise disappointment.

After 2.5 years of no cruising we decided to take a chance. As we are from the Vancouver area, the itinerary leaving and returning to Vancouver allowed us to cruise without having to fly somewhere else to get on the ship. We’ve cruised to Hawaii twice in 2019. This itinerary combines both a cruise and our favourite destination. We enjoyed all the ports although we prefer Lahaina and Kona over ...

I had this cruise set up for September 2020 of course some thing happened that stopped all of us from cruising. With the post Rona hitches in mind the cruise was excellent. See lots of complaining about service. Unfortunately understanding and patience seem to be in short supply. The HAL crew you could see were depleted from pre Rona cruising but the effort expended was above and beyond for ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We have sailed on Holland America several times before, although in recent years we have chosen Celebrity. This cruise sailed eout of Vancouver, CA which is a wonderful, beautiful city. Now I will get to the problems we have encountered. First, the boarding procedures were horrific. We were given a 10:100 AM Priority boarding time. We were guided to ...

This is a review of a recent trip on the Holland America Line (HAL) ship Koningsdam. We sailed from Port of Vancouver to Hawaii and visited the four Islands (Maui, Hawaii, Oahu and Kauai) before sailing back to Vancouver. This adventure should have been a trip along the coast of Norway in 2020, but COVID-19 put an end to that idea. HAL offered us a refund or a future cruise credit, so we opted ...

Thought it might be better for our age 65. It was so boring and everyone on the cruise was asleep between 7-9 pm. Activities were designed for people in a nursing home. Food was terrible and two meals had hair in them. Laundry service ruined my pants and under garments Entertainment was bad and had the same shows often. Excursions were canceled and we were not notified until the moment we ...
