Itinerary was GREAT but will never book traveling on the Noordam again and even considering not traveling Holland America Lines again!!! You can tell Carnival has taken over!!

Ship Quality
3 out of 5
11th floor observation deck was blocked off to everyone unless you paid a fee to go to top, Top observation deck is best place and when we were going into the Fjords they made everyone stand in line on the fourth floor to go through a small door to front of ship rather than just opening up the top-11th floor observation or front deck of 9th (gym) to go out on, very rediculous!!
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
thin curtains didn't keep heat out of room so ac didn't keep room cool, had a broken chair on verandah and requested it be replaced with a lounge chair like others had and was told "NO" had to keep what we had, then when they would clean 9th floor back pool/deck all the dirt would fall on our verandahs staying filthy to where no one would hardly use them!! Will never book another aft room!!
Was Art Deco Festival and with the city people dressing up in the 20' and driving vintage cars was awesome, we called this place New Zealand's version of "South Beach Miami"!!
Sorry to hear of your experience on the Noordam. We sailed her to Alaska in August/ September of 2016 and it was the cleanest ship we’ve ever been on. Hope you’ll give HAL another chance. 🚢🐳🚢🐳
