Pleasantly Surprised
"
00pm the Lido wasn't crowded and there was a very good selection off food which was served to us so there wasn't a lot of different people handling utensils.The Lido staff were always on had to clear tables and bring us water etcWe didn't eat in any speciality restaurants but the food in the main dining room was good, not great.

Background: I am 22 years old and have cruised on Carnival, Celebrity, NCL, and Princess. My mom and I chose this cruise solely for the itinerary and for the affordability -- we booked extremely last minute (2 days before embark…). This review encompasses experiences and opinions from both of us. To start: We flew into Anchorage day of and took the ACT bus straight from the airport to the

My son and I sailed on the Noordam on April 30 on its 5-night itinerary to Ketchikan, AK and Prince Rupert, BC. It was my second Alaska cruise (my 11th overall) and my son’s first time in Alaska. For both of us, it was our first experience with a Holland America line ship.Overall, we had a fun time and any complaints are more about details than core elements. As I always say, the mass

We were very excited to once again travel on HAL. It had been a few years so were really looking forward to stopping off a several ports in NZ as well as Hobart and Melbourne. Boarding in Auckland was a breeze, everything was well planned and executed by port staff. It was all downhill from there. The weather was on most days terrible but that is what can happen in summer in NZ so we were

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

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

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
