One week cruise to Mexico by dhkatz

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Mexico

Older ship, but pleasantly serviceable. Good cruise for a short visit to Mexico. Only visited 3 ports. Three full days at sea allows for a relaxing trip.

Comedy of Errors Cruise by rvicki

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Mexico

The cruise was rather disappointing because we lost a port because the ship broke. I fell twice on one excursion, my husband got sick on the last day. It just didn’t turn out as planned. It also rained for the 2 days we were stuck in San Diego for the repair. The port was canceled and excursions were canceled for the port we did go too. It was a comedy of errors. Oh well

Sadly, did not measure up to other cruises and lines by JedDavis

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Mexico

Not the cruise for you if you are looking for nightlife and excitement. Very much the cruise for you if you are seeking peace, solitude and entertainment that is geared toward a more mature audience.

Best Trip Ever by scifikids1985

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Mexico

This was the best experience of ours in a very long time. There is nothing like taking a cruise with Holland America. We will be doing this again as soon as possible. I can't believe it took us this long to take this trip.

It was the first cruise I’ve taken alone. Was nervous, but that soon was replaced by enjoyment and relaxation.

Circle Hawaii by thomasltur

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Hawaii

Visiting Hawaii was great. As a veteran the trip to Pearl Harbor was a sobering experience. The food and entertainment on the ship was lacking from last cruise experience.

No luggage vacay by shanew403

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Coastal - West Coast

I learned so much from this trip-I want to take my new found knowledge and try another cruise with luggage. This trip I felt I spent most of my time trying to find my luggage or searching for clothes that would fit. This was my second solo cruise and Holland America does a great job of making singles feel comfortable. They had special activities so you could meet other solo or single travelers.

Great ports of call! by carolynneparker

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

This was a beautiful ship with wonderful ports of call. Not a lot to do on the ship itself- bring a couple good books! Very relaxing. Alaska was a dream. Will definitely return to visit more there.

My first cruise by MargaretC32

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

I was stunned to see a bill at the door last day of almost $1500 for all the assorted charges - they charged about $15 a day per person for the room to be cleaned... in the Crows Nest coffee, tea, etc, was not free as it was around the ship... felt nickeled and dimed all throughout. I could have taken my daughter to Europe for what this entire cruise cost us.

Great Scenic Cruise! Very relaxing and enjoyed every moment of it by RoshanAli

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Overall it was an excellent cruise. However it was more scenic and surrounding was quiet. It was unlike a Caribbean cruise where the party was non-stop and there was continuous music and entertainment on the Lido Deck. Cruising Alaska is an experience everyone should have in their lives. Thanks to the Captain and crew for a job well done

Loved it so much that I'd love to do it again by joycemckay

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Alaska was a surprise to me. Some of the areas experience a winter not much different that what I experience in Maryland. It's just that their summers are definitely cooler. It's such a wild and wonderful place. There are such nice people there. The flowers seem especially bright, perhaps because they don't have to fight the heat and get sunburned. It's a place worth returning to. Holland America line is a step above some others I've cruised.

Wonderful Alaskan Cruise by domca

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Great cruise to Alaska. Small Ship and great crew. The food could have been better but the service and staff compensated for it. The entertainment was great and the cabins nice and comfortable. The views in Alaska were amazing and we had a great time viewing whales form the observation deck. I would do this cruise again .

Terrible! Food was disgusting. Wast of money on Oosterdam ship. by DJBIII

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

My husband and I have been on numerous cruises and this was our first Holland cruise and it was by far the worst cruise. The food was HORRIBLE and DISGUSTING!! The only things edible were the Dive, salad bar and ice cream. When you pay for a cruise with food included in the price you are looking for food that you can eat without feeling like you have to regurgitate. I always assumed that if cooking dinner was hard the least one could do was cook a decent breakfast. The breakfast was terrible. For example, the scrambled eggs taste worse than powdered eggs (how is that possible...) and the regular bacon taste like it was boiled. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and we made reservations at the Canaletto. We were under the assumption that the food would be better than the Lido and the main dining. Canaletto's food was miserably bad on a scale 1-10, it was a zero. My husband and I took one bite of our food and left the restaurant.
