Alaskan Disappointment by Haljo1935

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Noordam / Destination: Alaska - Gulf of Alaska

Hard to say anything negative about Alaska - the views are always amazing and there's no shortage of places to relax. With that said, we were beyond disappointed with this trip. The cruise portion was great as always, but the land portion was a huge let down. We were very excited to go to Denali and have 3 days "on land" to really explore Alaska. The extra money for the land part was truly a waste; we didn't get to do anything even though we had full days/overnight at each stop. Lost luggage, broken train engine, canceled excursion (without refund!!) and 8 hours sitting in hotel lobby - we will be cruise only to Alaska from now on. Tip - take the money you would spend on land package and upgrade your cabin or extend your cruise.

Dreadful ship by grandmastephy

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Noordam / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

This ship Is tired and old fashioned. There was no evening life on board. All bars deserted by around 11pm. Certainly not the life and soul of the party

Ship changing operational day to day basis by lorayship65

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Noordam / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

Would recommend anyone who has never visited NZ it will allow you to see what you would do on land as the ship does not stay long in port for you to explore but all cruise lines do this We were a small group of 4 people

Wonderful cruise & ports of call by nnvangie

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

We had a great cruise & enjoyed visiting such great ports from Sydney to New Zealand. The crew & staff of the ship made it a special experience. Ship had to institute safety protocols due to norovirus, on day 2 of our voyage which lasted the rest of the trip. Only downside of the cruise but the staff & crew handled it well. Thank you to Lexie, the wonderful club HAL staff member who was fantastic with our kids! Also to John who was a friendly & outgoing bar staff who always made a point to say hello to our family & entertain our kids with a magic trick. Our kids nicknamed him Johndini....after Houdini :) Room stewards were also very friendly, helpful & accommodating. While this cruise line seems to generally accommodate a more mature age group, our family was made to feel welcomed & appreciated by the staff & crew of the Noordam.

Great Australia and New Zealand Cruise by jeffnDenver

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Noordam / Destination: South Pacific - Australia

This was a bucket list trip for us and we were not disappointed. New Zealand is a very scenic country and all of the locals we met were very warm and welcoming. Enjoyed Australia as well and are very glad we had four full days to explore Sydney before the cruise began. The Noordam is a midsized ship that is getting older, but the recent refurbish gave the ship a newer feel (we also sailed on the Noordam in 2014 and it seemed more worn at that time).

Approximately the last 10 days the ship was on lockdown due to the Norovirus by seve2kev

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Noordam / Destination: South Pacific

I was disappointed by the lack of protocols on dealing with the norovirus. I had heard from a friend who took the ship back to Sydney and they never did lift the protocols they finally put down on the cruise I was on

Spectacular by JDonker

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Noordam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

The overall experience was excellent. Definitely a bucket list must. The only downside was the over selling of items, coffee, extra dining items and specialty restaurants etc.

Do it! Go see Alaska! by NB0414

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Noordam / Destination: Alaska - Gulf of Alaska

This was our first cruise (one of us doesn’t love being on water- prefers to fly everywhere), but we are world travelers and have definite levels of expectation for our vacations. Excellent cruise - staff and crew on the Noordam were wonderful and friendly. Our children loved Club HAL. Happily surprised at number of children and young families onboard after reading prior reviews. Food Allergies (gf/df) were well taken care of in Main Dining Room without any issues, giving us tremendous peace of mind. We have both heard horrible stories about the long lines for activities and food on mega ships and never stood in line more than 2 minutes anywhere on Noordam. Church services daily, priest and rabbi onboard every cruise. Naturalist speaking in Crow’s Nest was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone. We completely enjoyed everything and will talk about this trip for years to come!

This was a very nice,... by ericrnbsn

Sail date: /
Ship: Noordam

This was a very nice, laid back Alaska Cruise. This itinerary caters to a much older crowd, so I think some of the negative reviews don’t take that into account. The ship is in decent shape but it is getting close to time for a refresh. The onboard entertainment is limited and aimed at the 60 to 80 year old crowd. Our excursions and the sights of Alaska were awesome and made the entire vacation worth it.
