Cruise was good but the land tour was Awful by hellomanish88

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Nieuw Amsterdam

Holland America handled our land tour portion Horrible, unprofessional in simple words ruined it and beginning of ship was bad too with the stinky room but afterwards they made it up for ONLY cruise part of our trip and we still haven't received the refund for our land portion upon calling Holland and involving United cruise agent still no refund, it feels like Holland America STOLE our money. Booking no. 2H3N9N

THE best way to see Alaska at its finest by DawningDave

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Nieuw Amsterdam

There SO MUCH to see and do at each of the Alaska ports of call - Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway, this won't be our last cruise ! Holland put together an excellent cruise and likely does Alaska like no other (reportedly being The First cruise line in Alaska). There wasn't any hint of being owned by Carnival. We met several repeat Holland cruisers and look forward to our next.

Alaska Cruise by ckzyggy

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Nieuw Amsterdam

Alaska cruise was good overall. A few issues but nothing to spoil the experience. Holland America music walk looks to be slowly falling apart which was a plus over the glitz and glam shows everyone else does.

Ask to be seated at a larger table for dinner. You will meet the most fascinating people. We had as you wish dining and it was painless.

The Nieuw Amsterdam will put you in the lap of luxury. If you enjoy "dressing up" in your finest, dining on fine cuisine, and enjoying showroom entertainment without lineups, you'll love the elegance of HAL.
