This was my first cruise on HAL, after having cruised with Oceania, Princess, Celebrity, Norwegian, and Royal Caribbean. It may not be my last, but were I to do this again, it's not going to be on the Zuiderdam, which needs to go into dry dock in a bad way. Yes, I know it was just there in April, but interior decoration was apparently not on the list. We had cabins 4166 and 4170 (originally ...

I am writing this review to alert to how Fantastic and supportive Holland America Zuiderdam Customer Service Manager and Corfu Port cruise Agency Team dealt with my unfortunate experience of missing the ship! It is possibly everybody's worst nightmare & curiosity of what would happen. Trust me, I too have commented on crazy " people leaving it so late" rushing back onto cruise ships but as I now ...

I hadn't inquired as to the size of the ship, so this is on me. I'm used to the smaller ships. Too many people. I'd meet lovely people and then never see them again. I was berthed in the rear of the ship, and was exhausted by the time I reached the front to disembark. The Exploration Cafe (at first, I couldn't find the library--then was told that it is all part of a larger whole) could only ...

As others have pointed out, the ship is not new, but there are just so many pluses about this ship, the little bit of rust just didn't deter me from thoroughly enjoying this cruise. After a week in bleak and cold England at my niece's wedding, I was ready for 11 days of sunshine and heat, and it started out very hot in Venice. I did a walk around Venice early the morning the day the ship was ...

If I were a first time cruiser I might have thought our 22 day Mediteranian cruise on the Zuiderdam was wonderful. We have been cruising with Holland America for more than 20 years and just within the past five years there have been what must be systemic changes throughout the cruise line to cut costs and increase profits at the expense of the sailing passenger. Gone are the days of free water and ...

There was a group of 20 of us on this cruise, ages from late 20's to early 70's.
We arrived in Venice on the overnight train from Paris with LOTS of luggage in tow. As you arrive on the train on the causeway, you will see all of the ships in port so you already have an idea as to where you're actually going.
Some of the group split off, and walked over the 3 bridges with their luggage, ...

My wife and I were booked on the Venice to Barcelona cruise August 24 to September 5. This was our first HAL cruise but our sixth overall. We booked it online through a well know Internet travel agent. They did a good job, communicated with us often and arranged for a change of cabins for us when prices went down. We requested either a refund or an upgrade to a higher level cabin that had come ...

Like all stories, this one is probably best told directly, and I hope this will provide exact detail about how Holland America failed this returning passenger in extensive and ongoing fashion.

Back in February, following the sudden death of my husband, our family made the decision to get together on his favorite cruise line as part of our celebration of Jack's life and a ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
Just got back from cruising on the Zuiderdam. Sailed from Venice to Barcelona.
Transfer from the airport to the ship went smoothly. We were greeted in the airport and took a bus to the port. Checking in went smooth also. Boarded the ship and was told to go to the dining room for lunch. Others were told to go to the Lido for the buffet. Don't know how they determined who went where. Lunch was ...
