Noordam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The excursions we took were okay, I think they're overpriced. The Juneau food tour was expensive for what you got. I would have prefered eating a whole crab at Tracy's King Crab Shack than what we got for what we paid. The dinner whale watching cruise was mediocre. We saw just as many whales from the ship & the food was terrible. Probably should have taken the non food whale watching tour but thought it was going to be great local food. Again, I know there are issues coming off Covid.

Excellent cruise overall. Great weather for most of the cruise and our land trip after.

Noir dam is a good size ship, not too big. A chance to meet and revisit with many passengers. Clean and well maintained. Service was very good. Biggest flaw was the food...

Overall, this was an excellent trip. We like sea days and had plenty of them. Ports were good for the most part, with some better than others. Food, crew, staff and atmosphere on the ship were superb. HAL is more like cruising should be instead of the mega-ships that want to bring amusements and the town atmosphere to sea instead of emphasizing the cruise aspect.

Except for our experience with you medical personnel and the embarkation process it was a good cruise.

Our family of 4 went on the cruise from Alaska to Vancouver, something I had wanted to do my entire life growing up in Alaska. I moved away to college 30 years ago and then on to the East Coast. I went back with my family so they could see it with me. The scenery and cruise far exceeded all of my expectations. It was my first cruise and I had heard various thoughts on cruises in general on various cruise lines and destinations. This cruise was excellent in every way, on the ship and off. I recommend it whole heartedly to everyone.

We have cruised extensively. This was our 5th HAL cruise. Compared with previous cruises, I think that the overall quality of HAL was lower. Food at the main restaurant was disappointing, both in quality and selection, especially lack of vegetarian options. The restaurant was 1/2 empty for the late seating. Perhaps other guests also found the food not very attractive. Staff were helpful and attentive, but there's little they can do to improve the food. Haines is a poor choice for a visit. Skagway is where the action is. There are many tour choices at each city along the cruise. We found the selection great, prices more reasonable than through reservations, and the quality good with only one exception (the hike and float in Skagway).

I had a wonderful time. The optional excursions (river rafting, whale watching, and flightseeing) made it even more memorable.

We were not cruise people prior to this, but this one won us over. True to prior reviews, Holland America caters to more of a senior crowd, which was great for us. The service, food and activities were fantastic.

We were very pleasantly surprised by our experience on this ship. Despite our laughter at some of the decorating choices made back in the nineties, the crew and the procedures on this ship are top notch.

Overall we had a wonderful experience on Holland America and based on ecological and environmental guidelines the ship went to sleep at Midnight. It cost a lot but do the helicopter to a glacier and two mile hike

Pretty good cruise overall. See comment above regarding deck chair noise in 8147 from the Lido deck. Service seemed a bit less than we've encountered on other Holland America cruises. Still very good but somewhat inconsistent (except the Pinnacle Room and Bar).

This was our first cruise with Holland. We had the good fortune of sailing with a superior captain who knew how to motivate his staff. All crew encounters were pleasant. Your folks actually seemed happy to be aboard. The cigar room was a gem!!!!!!!!!!

This was probably the best vacation ever. The ship and crew were wonderful. The ship review should have gotten a 5.0, but they added in the port excursions as well.

I cannot thank Joy and Camille in Neptune lounge enough and Mada and Yohannes for our room service and Noel in Pinnacle

It was a good cruise. Ship needs some updating. The staff was very friendly.

Overall great. We’ve been on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival and Holland America was our favorite. Older more conservative crowd. We liked the Lincoln Cemter stage entertainment and of course Alaska speaks for itself.

We had excellent service on the ship. The staff was helpful and friendly.

THE SHIP WAS GREAT AND HAVE SAILED THIS SHIP BEFORE. HOWEVER WE WERE IN THE DARK BECAUSE OUR TRAVEL AGENT FROM NEVER GOT BACK TO US AND NEVER CORRESPONDENT WITH US FOR THIS CRUISE. ONCE HE GOT THE BOOKING HE GAVE US NO THANK YOU OF ANY KIND. DANIEL HAMMERS IS HIS NAME. OTHER TRAVELERS ON THR CRUISE HAD RECEIVED MANY EMENITIES AND DISCOUNTS ON THE SHIP. NEVER GO WITH .

We were told by HA that selected our cabin placement and it was the worst we've ever received right next to the engine. This was our third time using and our Fifth time using Holland America. Once we boarded the ship HA guest services did the best they could to give us a better room. We won't be using again.
