“Spectacular scenery”
4 Stars
Cruise Date: 01/28/2025
Destination: Transatlantic/Repositioning
Our first cruise. Views of Patagonia and Antarctica were spectacular, all from the comfort and convenience of our balcony. Daily briefings on history and economy of areas visited made it all the more enjoyable. Dining was amazing - 5 star every night.

Food was great. Since we did almost all of our own bookings for our various tours, we needed more information sooner. The times we set up for tours were based on the information given ahead of time which was sometimes incorrect, often due to not being informed of the need to tender to reach the destination. This meant last minute phone calls and changes which was very stressful and costly for us. Also we were told we would have 11 days of laundry service, but it turned out to only be 9 days, as it was discontinued two days before disembarking. We were depending on this service to prepare for

The highlight of the voyage (as expected) was 4 days cruise touring the Antarctic Peninsula. The Captain made sure that all the passengers had the opportunity for an immersive experience with the incredible land forms. animals and weather that make this place unique.

“Graduation trip ”
4 Stars
Cruise Date: 06/30/2023
Destination: Europe
We were a party of 8 celebrating highschool graduation of 3. First of all, we had an awesome travel agent who managed to coordinate everything. On the ship itself, we liked the smaller size. My husband and I found only one entertainment venue that we enjoyed (Billboard Onboard). Overall the food was quite good. We liked the itinerary, especially the overnight in Istanbul. The ship was clean, but starting to show her age. The wait staff, cabin attendants and all of the crew were competent and friendly.

The ship was showing its age and not up to our usual standards. Service was slow and food mediocre. The itinerary was excellent and that is why we booked it.

“12 night Holy Land Ancient Antiquities HAL cruise”
4 Stars
Cruise Date: 06/11/2023
Destination: Europe
A great vacation which we were blessed to undertake. I can't say enough about the hard workers who tended to our every need on board and with a? and welcome greetings to boot. The cruise excursions were hard for me and I chose the easiest I could find but all things considered I would allow myself some down time between excursions should I ever book a cruise of this duration again. One needs to consider the heat, the crowds and walking conditions not always apparent on levels of capability listed. Food was more than ample and delicious offerings and I can't really complain about entertainment

“Great ship, some fun excursions”
5 Stars
Cruise Date: 05/30/2023
Destination: Europe
Our second time on the Oosterdam, third trip with Holland, and appreciate them as a cruise line. There were some great ports/excursions (Naples-Pompeii, Kotor, Livorno-Lucca/Pisa, Taormina-Etna), and some "meh" (Cannes, Marsaille). Dubrovnik was overrun with tourists and a huge cruise ship docked very close to the main gate. But an interesting town to visit, NOT during tourist season. We are very comfortable on the ship, well taken care of by very competent, attentive crew. Food is generally good. We prefer the dining room for dinner, rather than the Lido deck, where the food is always e

“Lots of At Sea days!”
4 Stars
Cruise Date: 04/09/2023
Destination: Transatlantic/Repositioning
I’ve never sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and it was an experience for sure. The first few days at sea were very rough but the captain tried to navigate the ship around the bad weather pockets. When we got closer to ports, the cruise was much smoother and the highlight for me was sailing through the Strait of Gibraltar from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean ocean. I only wish that it was timed during the day so that we could see the Rock of Gibraltar, Spain and Morocco in the daylight. Unfortunately the crossing was in the evening and we only saw the lights. The ship itself, the Oosterdam

Even thought we had no luggage on this post Covid cruise, it was the best ever!. The staff were amazing and lent backwards to help us. Holland America is a great size of ship if you want service. The staff were so friendly and attentive from the Hotel Manager to the cleaning crew. Thank you!

Holland America standards are high -- good facilities, good staff, good service, good food, good entertainment, good enrichment programs -- no exception on this voyage! Scenery on this trip was spectacular! Yes, we had to skip a port, and our captain backed us out of an area and detoured us on another occasion -- but all in the name of safety -- and appreciated! I'd do it again!

We really enjoyed our Holland America cruise primarily to see the Panama Canal and several countries in South America. There are quite a few sea days since the ship is navigating an entire continent (almost) . There were plenty of activities onboard on sea days so we never got bored. We highly recommend this cruise.
