Noordam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was our first time on HAL. Disappointed that ports were changed but the captain kept our safety in mind.

We've sailed on the Noordam before, as well as other Holland America cruises. I would not recommend this itinerary at this time, due to the risk of rain, cold, and typhoons. Still, we had a good relaxing time, and do not regret it at all. The Noordam should be a better ship after its upcoming dry dock.

We did our own plans using AirBnB and booking directly with tour operators for the eight days before our cruise. That went very well. Everything is outrageously priced in Alaska but there are some really great things to see and do.

Holland is a very nice, classier, more understated cruiseline and we are here for it! Loved that they had wool blankets for you to use on the outside decks, served hot soup during the outdoor glacier viewing times, and had excellent service!

probably will not go on a holland cruise again because of the misinformation about the Oak room I do not like being misled.

Beautiful sights and amazing weather. Cruise was very different than previous experiences with the casualness of the lido deck and dining room. Food was not impressive in the dining room.

Have always wanted to visit Alaska and this was a great way to see numerous parts of the state quickly/easily. Enjoyable experience all around.

We picked this cruise since it had a day of cruising in Glacier Bay National Park, with park rangers on board. That was definitely the highlight of the cruise, but visits to ports of Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway were also great.

The only reason to go on this cruise is the views of Glacier Bay. If not for these views the cruise would have been a bust. Other than the Pinnacle Grill the food was a bust and the ports were full of jewelry stores and crappy souvenir shops. I can't stress enough how bad the bed was and how tired I was because of it. It looks like the system here is giving my rating a value of 3.8 but if I were giving it an overall score I would give it a 2.8

Scenic! Not much else. Theater shows were boring. Great band in the lounge. Service was great and food was excellent. Excursion were very expensive.

A once-in-a-lifetime visit to the Majestic Mountains of Alaska.

Spectacular 14 Day Alaska cruise. Would definitely do it again. Best value ever!

The main negative is we bought the Have Iit All Package and their WIFI is AWFUL!!!! You can not send or receive texts. You are logged out constantly and have to reboot your phone to sign in again. We sailed on Princess a month earlier and bought the same package and their WIFI works perfectly and you can send and receive texts. They also do not have laundry rooms and charge $25 for a very small bag of laundry.

Overall is was a good cruise. Loved visiting more of New Zealand and first time in Australia/Tasmania.

Well worth it. Never been to the southern hemisphere and these countries have been on my bucket list for a long time. Great adventure.

We really enjoyed Australia and New Zealand. The ship was nice and the crew was wonderful. However, the cruise had a little too many days at sea.

A great cruise for people wanting to spend meaningful time together. While there are plenty of enjoyable activities on and off the ship, there are also plenty of quieter moments and spaces in which to enjoy the moment.

Despite some bad weather and rough water on the first day, this was another really great trip. I hope to get to Alaska again in the near future.

Would definitely do this trip again. Relaxing and beautiful.
