Our cruise was fine but HAL not ready for Covid
"The food in the dining room was excellent and only one night did we have a waiter that needed more training.We did notice many people did not wear masks and it wasn’t until about the final week that Holland America started telling us to “mask up...."Read More

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, ...

I write this from the Rolling Stone Lounge on MS Noordam. A lovely time overall, the band is awesome!!!! but children under 10 running wild at 10:15pm in the rolling stone lounge with inadequate parental supervision is not my my idea of a good time.
Precocious children spoil the fun for adults who just want to have a good time from an adult perspective. A few drinks and a bit of a dance is ...

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. ...

This is our second cruise on the Noordam. This November 2023 is the exact same cruise we did prior to COVID.
The check in at Sydney was excellent. Five stars as they now stagger passengers arrival times and this was a huge improvement over long, slow lines in February 2020.
Cabin: Looking tired. The bed was comfortable. The sofa was grubby and looked yuck. It was so worn, the cushions ...

11 day Alaska Land/Sea Tour-Denali National Park
My significant other wanted to see Glacier Bay and this was the main reason we took this cruise along with seeing Denali. It was an omen-we got to OAK 2 1/2 hrs early. Gate change and we missed our flight. Someone was trying to tell us something! Unfortunately, we got booked on a later flight. Saw Denali....
Fast forward to the cruise-upon ...

This was our 3rd time going to Alaska but our first time continuing on to Denali. We absolutely Love Alaska! and there is no better way than to travel than with Holland America! We sailed up several fjords to Harvard Glacier and many other glaciers (but I forgot all their names). The seas were very calm the weather was clear (luckily) and we even saw a pod of whales off our balcony! The staff ...

This ship needs an overhaul. Inconsistent service, poor maintenance. Zero health protocols. Other than the Rolling Stone Lounge, entertainment was very poor. After more than 100 nights on HAL, this was by far worst cruise. It seemed that everyone on board was sick and no one was enforcing hand sanitizing or encouraging masks if sick. Passengers didn’t seem to give a darn about spreading their ...

Picked up the 18 day Land and Sea Tour a few months ago. Great deal! We accepted a partially obstructed ocean view room. Just wanted to share what that means on deck 4. Overall we thought the experience was great. The land tour was wonderful. Just an FYI, the Holland Landmark Hotel is really showing it’s age It was clean but it is dated.
The ride from Denali and from Anchorage were the best. ...
