Oosterdam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We loved this cruise and visited many small villages and nice places. A busy program with less sea days. We recommend this cruise special for starters who want cruising.

This was my first cruise on Holland America and my first time visiting Hawaii. I will use Holland America again, not just for Hawaii, but many other itineraries. The Oosterdam was well maintained and clean. My stateroom was large and very comfortable. The ship did not have all of attractions that draw children to a cruise which I thoroughly enjoy. I am 57, and young compared to the age group that was on board which did not bother me at all. Many people that I talked to have been on many cruises and enjoyed talking about their experiences. The food and beverage was excellent and plentiful. The staff is what ultimately made the cruise so magnificent.

Had a GREAT time, enjoyed the sea days by the pool. Would have preferred another port instead of two days in Honolulu, but I understand it gave many the chance to visit Pearl Harbor Memorials.

A very rigorous and fast paced cruise with 11 ports in 12 days. Be ready for breakfast in the room or early risers almost every day

11/10, would definitely do this cruise again!!!!!!

Great stops on the cruise to a wide variety of places with wonderful local food & beverages. Holland America provides a great experience.

Another great experience on Holland America seeing the world one beer & one country at a time.

31 days well spent at sea plus three days pre -cruise in Buenos Aires. Canal transit a must for all cruisers.

Great first cruise. Friendly staff, good food, ports were beautiful.

This was our first time in Europe and we could not have chosen a better itinerary and better cruise line. We usually travel with our kids on NCL, this was just the Hubby and me and we loved Holland America.

Cruised out of San Diego to Mexico , seen a few Whales and a lot of Dolphins

The scenery was amazing - Alaska is truly a beautiful place.  Everyone should experience it at least once! We are normally Carnival cruisers.  We were not impressed with Holland America. 

This was our second transatlantic and our first Holland America cruise. A couple of Holland loyalists told us not to judge Holland by this cruise as they felt there were a lot of new crew and not as many crew as they had experienced in the past, so told us to keep our expectations low. It was a nice cruise. Many on board were in our age group (late 60's) which was nice for finding good conversation. Food was generally good, but not great. There were nights when the menu's were lack luster. We can highly recommend the Signature Suites; very comfortable and pleasant for a cruise with lots of sea days where you spend a little more time than usual in your cabin. The ship was big enough to be stable on the sea and have enough room for everyone but small enough to not feel overwhelmed finding one's way around. Overall, we enjoyed the cruise very much.

San Diego , 2 days delayed for ship repair and raining , great day in Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta .

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.

Another fantastic cruise from HAL. Not a line for everyone, but if you do your research and what they offer appeals to you no one does it better. Staff are all amazing and really seem to like their jobs. They go out of their way to do the little extras that make your vacation great and are above and beyond what could be expected. The ship is well maintained and oh so clean, the food is top notch in all the restaurants not just the surcharge speciality ones. The itinerary is well chosen for interest, variety and local flavour. Looking forward to the next one...

My wife and I cruise HAL for the great service, excellent food, and cleanliness of ship. It is catered to people that don’t require a lot of onboard activities and can have fun on their own and wish to have a relaxing vacation.

San Diego to Mexican Riviera 7 days on the Oosterdam, this cruise we went to Cabo , Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. On this cruise the Capatain of the Oosterdam gave me my 100 days at sea Medallion.

Loved my cruise vacation on the Oosterdam! Loved the Cruise Director Becca Newton, the Captain and his staff who were always visible and engaging.

Loved everything about the ship except for the heating problem with our room.
