Great Adventure by grhardin

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam

Overall a good experience. Ship is nice an clean and the food is good as cruise ships go. The tours booked thru Holland America were pricey and not that good. Booking some with outside vendors gave us a much better experience. Generally, we would probably do it again.

Beautiful trip around South America by jack62

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam

It was a great experience. The staff was excellent, the captain and crew kept us well informed of location, sea and weather conditions. Programs in stops were very informative. Entertainment was very good. Food was outstanding. The cruise covered areas not many people ever get to see.

Embarkation nightmare by robskifamily

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam

Embarkation soured us for the first few days of the cruise. Natural beauty overcame that. Keep your fingers crossed for weather. It makes a big difference. Entertainment was so bad that it overshadowed and otherwise excellent cruise.

Too much work by rlmtowson

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Panama Canal, Central America

your service is bad. I had to deal with three travel agents. The first one seemed to disappear. The second took the rest of the year off. The third one was good but was a little too late in the process. Holland would not deal with me because I used your agency. I hasd to continually go back to your to act as an intermediary. Very painful. Your agents did not want to handle Holland flight issues or payment. I was stuck trying to get things to work.

Exciting Transatlantic Cruise by williamsmaljer

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

While I loved the ports, it may be a while before I choose Holland America again. The Oosterdam needs an overhaul. The wi-fi was spotty, some hot tubs didn’t work and some staff demonstrated a lack of communication skills in English(A passenger asked for Anisette. The server didn’t know what that was, but he knew “Sambuca”). In the main dining room, I resorted to pointing to the names of the dishes on the menu on more than one occasion because I observed my server struggling to understand what a table mate was asking. This transatlantic cruise seemed like a training cruise for new employees.

Great trip, wonderful crew! by mvdavis3020

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

The trip in whole was great but the average passenger was much older than we expected. Really loved the size of the ship and the number of passengers.

Great room stewards, ship always on time, disappointed on the food served by whitakermotors

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

I've cruised on Holland America several times and this was the worst dinner choices I've seen. The steaks were the toughest I've ever been served...no lobster nights, very little sea food selections except for salmon. However the breakfast in the main dining room was great. Over all highly disappointed.

Excellent Cruise ! by aaplatinum123

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Overall a great cruise. I booked the cruise through for the extra miles. The agent that sold me the package was initially very attentive and answered questions. Towards the end she was not respondent and knew that I was not happy with her service so she refused to respond to emails. Our next cruise has been booked through HAL directly.

As cruising goes, about average by SublimityJan174

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

It was too fast paced for us. We only had one free day, more would have helped us regenerate. Some of the ports were not that interesting, and others needed much more time to appreciate all the places deserving exploration.

I Needed This Trip by clarkmb16

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Cruise was great. There was a paperwork error at the beginning which turned into a huge headache. Once we finally got that cleared up, I could enjoy the remainder of my cruise. It was GREAT to finally travel abroad again and put all my worries behind me for a few weeks in the most beautiful part of the world.

Wonderful Antiquities Cruise by mlysaght

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise experience and the excellent choice of ports of call. One disappointment was having two ports of call at Mykonos due to a cancellation of Santorini. It felt like Holland America treated this 14-day cruise as two 7-day cruises. Much of the entertainment was repeated the second week leaving a feeling of very limited entertainment options the second week.
