Noordam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

For our 1st cruising experience, Holland America has set the bar extremely high for any future cruises.

After this cruise, we are looking forward to the next cruise experience, perhaps Alaska or something in the European arena. Personnel on the trip were professional and every surface was cleaned and cleaned again.

Great cruise, nice excursions in ports. But better take some good books when doing this cruise on the Noordam. They will not be able to entertain you on board for a week.

Overall HA cruise was fantastic! Pay for the upgrades, you will NOT regret it!

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.

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.

It was sunny every day of our cruise and it was stunning.

This cruise was amazing! Everything was wonderful. Ship is a little dated but very clean. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Wish all my cruises were like this one!

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.

One of my more disappointing cruises with Holland America Cruiseline!!!!!!!!! Would hesitate recommending Holland America to my friends and family!!!

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.

Wonderful crew for the most part and the musicians in the Rolling Stone Lounge were the best part. We have done Alaska before so the ports are always the same. Alaska is always beautiful.

Would definitely do this trip again. Relaxing and beautiful.

For a quality cruise experience Holland America is hard to beat.

The cruise was great. We took the land tour before the cruise, and it was just okay. We were a little disappointed with the Denali wilderness tour. TOO LONG. We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise version of the trip and once again HAL met all our expectations.
