So, so by maggie03872

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

Definitely would not recommend Holland America. Too many Old, handicap passengers. Food sucked, not enough to do. Only positive was the Rock group and Blues group!

Dreams CAN Come True! by ManaMcD

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

This was a huge bucket-list dream trip for us, and it could not have been better. The ship was beautiful, the crew was fantastic, the food was delicious, and we had lots of luck with the weather and wildlife spotting. The Northern Lights were tricky, even during good conditions, because of the lights. People did get to see them, but it meant lots of patience and waiting. There were lots of Alaskan-themed activities, talks, and a dedicated naturalist for questions and guidance. It was just an absolutely perfect cruise that we'll forever be grateful to have taken, and I wish anyone that books this the same amount of luck that we had. Enjoy!

Great Hawaii cruise by flemmingleslie

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

My spouse and I enjoyed this cruise very much and would recommend it. There was plenty to do during the sea days, we learned a lot about Hawaii while on board, and we enjoyed our excursions in the islands, especially to Volcanos National Park.

Fabulous Hawaiian Cruise by ettcruisers

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Koningsdam

This cruise was amazing! Hawaii, Oahu and Kauai were some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! HAL was a good cruise line, but it was God's magnificent creations that made this trip wonderful! Don't go with divas or party-poopers who only want to stare at their phones though, you'll seriously regret wasting your time and money! Go with upbeat people who can appreciate God's handiwork and want to unplug for a bit and just bask in the breathtaking beauty. Trust me, and have fun!

Good Time, Mostly for the Views. Not incredible though. by mehdikajbaf

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Koningsdam

Great trip for older folk looking to see Alaska and have a relaxing time. Less good for those looking for an exciting and action packed trip. Alaska is gorgeous, and maybe this is the most accessible way to see it.

Alaska in inside cabin by laprairiegirl

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

Great cruise. I love How Holland America is so relaxing. Excellent food and drinks. Great music venues. Pool is covered so you can use it if it’s cold out. A bit boring as there isn’t as much to do as on other cruise lines. We spent a bit in the casino because of this but it paid out a bit so this isn’t a complaint. I wouldn’t pick Holland America for a longer cruise but I’ve always enjoyed the 7 day ones.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable cruise to Cabo San Lucas! by skrantz

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

We had an excellent cruise and can't wait to book another one with Holland America especially on the Koningsdam. The only real surprise was the number of families with young children and teenagers on this cruise. We have been on many Holland cruises and have rarely seen families in the past. We have no complaints but it was a bit of a surprise to us.

Amazing trip by nightrider

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

This was a cruise that was rescheduled twice during Covid. It was on our bucket list to go to Hawaii in the French Polynesian. Although Hawaii was beautiful, the French Polynesian was stunning.

Have it all Package by dwhonHAL

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam / Destination: Hawaii

HAL Hawaiian Circle cruise is great - if you do not like back-to-back sea days in excess of 2 sea days - recommend you fly to Hawaii and pick up the cruise there. The 10 days we spent cruising the Pacific Ocean with several days of large swells 6 - 8+ feet will give you an indelible memory of why it's called "blue water".

Wonderful ship, amazing experience by karmemal

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Koningsdam

We were a group of 4 ranging from 17 to 79 years old and we all had an amazing time. The ship was laid out well. It was at full-capacity but it never felt crowded to me. The buffet was busy at times, but that's typical for most cruises. The itinerary was awesome and we all enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The ship had plenty of activities to keep us busy. There's a library and lots of games in the Crow's Nest. There were plenty of options for food and drinks and we absolutely loved the dinners in the main dining room. What I really liked about the cruise is that it's a quieter experience than some other cruise lines. With that being said, it's not boring at all. The guests and staff were all really fun and the evening entertainment was great. I would cruise on the Koningsdam again in a heartbeat.

Great Trip to Hawaii by taco73

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Koningsdam

A few days of rough weather on the way to Hawaii, but the Koningsdam rode well. Many activities filled the days. Educational series were excellent and well received. Ports were good. Missed Kauai due to high winds and seas. Return sail had many activities again. Seas were calm. Food excellent throughout.
