This trip was such a disappointment. We’ve been on 9 Holland cruises and this had to be one of the worse. Wouldn’t recommend Holland for an Alaska cruise.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Ship had leaks in multiple areas of the ship. Ship needs a retrofit.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

This was an upgrade, one of the worse rooms I have ever been in on a Holland ship.

Ship tip

Think twice before cruising on Holland aboard this ship to Alaska, so disappointing.
