Volendam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Lovely stops of quaint Canadian sea villages and so clean compared to their American counterparts. Be sure to have a lobster roll on land.

It was to smaller Canadian and US ports in a laidback atmosphere.

This was our first cruise, and it came in way ahead of expectations. Will definitely look into future cruises with Holland America.

Enjoyed everything about this cruise. The Cabin was comfortable, Food was great, Daily activities were fun. I only went to Cape Breton Thunder concerts and the Holland 150th Anniversary Show and they were great.

Never saw so many electric scooters and walkers at one time in my life, many using them acted as though they were entitled to go as they pleased.

IT WAS HORRIBLY RUN BY HOLLAND AT EVERY ARE FROM SERVICE TO EXCURSIONS TO BASIC INFORMATION . THEY WERE UNORGANIZED ,UNINFORMED -MANY DID NOT EVEN COMPREHEND BASIC ENGLISH AND NEEDED HELP FROM ANOTHER CREW MEMBER VERY UNDERSTAFFED SHIP AS WELL .

New Zealand's 10 ports were quickly boring. Enjoyed Australia much more, and the Pacific Islands are ever romantic. Better and shorter cruise with only 2 NZ ports and Dili vice Komodo.

This was a once in a lifetime voyage with the opportunity to see distant ports without having to fly to Australia or New Zealand

This was our first "long" cruise. We did learn that 30-45 day cruise would fit us better.

Overall, I was not impressed with Hawaii, except for Pearl Harbor and the Maui Gold pineapple plantation. The 5 days out and back was wonderful. I enjoyed being on the ship. The ocean was consistently very rough the whole time and a number of guests fell during the cruise. The staff was exhausted but pleasant. Many of the staff were going home from San Diego. They got restaffed before the next cruise.

We were told any cruise over 10 days was all seniors, this was unbelievable, we felt like we had checked into a nursing home, more walkers, motorized carts, canes, and people with disabilities... we thought we missed the memo that was what this cruise was all about, everything on the ship was geared for that group, music, entertainment, etc....not for young healthy people

This was really the best trip we have taken to Hawaii. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Cabin was in the back of the ship and it was so quiet all the time. Would get this room again if we go.

We really enjoyed this cruise and would recommend it to all our friends.

peaceful and restful, only thing is photos, they could not find any of my pictures. my account had some random people none of me. Very disappointed. face recognition does not work

We like Holland America cruise line because of the quality of staff they hire. They are 'happy in their work ', which is the main thing we look for on a cruise. I will forever mourn the loss of Lincoln Center Stage though. Now, you only get 2 shows per cruise instead of hearing that beautiful music 2-3 times a day!!

Overall I was very pleased with the cruise. Holland America did not disappoint.

Getting onboard for our Alaska Inside Passage adventure from Vancouver was a mix of excitement and a touch of chaos, earning it a solid 4-star rating from us. Compared to our previous cruise departing from Long Beach, California, to the Mexican Riviera with Carnival, this embarkation had its quirks. The staff at the Vancouver terminal seemed a tad scattered, sending us in different directions without much clarity. It wasn't the seamless process we remembered. However, here's the silver lining: once we stepped onto the ship, things took a turn for the better. The crew onboard was fantastic. They made us feel right at home with their friendly and attentive service, quickly smoothing out the wrinkles from our initial embarkation experience.

Average ship in an above average setting. You’re coming here for Alaska, not for 5 star entertainment. This was the cheapest Alaskan cruise all season and it delivered the experience in a way my previous Alaskan cruise could not (one could argue the previous cruise was more enjoyable, and I would agree, but for the money paid and what we got to see there was nothing like it).

The cruise was smooth and my wife and I just wanted to get away and relax. Mission accomplished

This was an amazing cruise- the ports were breathtaking and I feel as if Holland America is one of the better ships to cruise through Alaska. If we were on a bigger ship we wouldn’t have been able to go to certain places
