From an experienced cruise traveler: STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRUISE LINE Worst cruise ever. The ship was being repaired while sailing. Huge amount of noise. Debris falling on the balcony. Top deck not accessible. Any-time dining restaurant: Running out of food items. Running out of WATER!! Very limited service hours. Scarce number of table attendants. Not enough tables for the number ...

We sailed on the Zuiderdam (i.e. Sewerdam") on a 22 day cruise beginning April 14th 2015. It was our second Holland cruise (the first was uneventful, but I was not overly impressed). On the bright side... we had 22 days of excellent ports, and the weather was outstanding (sunny, 59 at night and low 70s in the day). The ship should have never sailed. They had an Italian labor strike during the ...

We gave ourselves this cruise as a 25th anniversary present. We have sailed on several cruise lines including HAL, our last cruise was great this one was the worst ship I have ever cruised on including those of my navy career. We embarked about 1:00 pm and once we got situated we went up to the Lido deck for a snack, there was water everywhere and towels were being used to mop it up. We should ...

This company understaffs their ships. Not enough crew members to serve the passengers properly. The ship sailed before dry dock repairs were completed (we found that after the ship left port!). Repairs were done while sailing. Loud noises. Debris falling in balconies. No access to top deck. Limited view balcony not disclosed at time of booking, but charged full price. Any-time dining ...

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. 1. HAL Reservations: 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 ...
