Westerdam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great cruise. Loved it would do it again. Already recommend it to family and friends.

We had a wonderful time. We were on our honeymoon/vacation and the weather was good.

Would do again but visiting different ports further north just for a change of venue.

This was a great cruise. We worried about going too early in the season because that was the only time we could go, but everything worked out perfectly and the weather was pretty good. Of course, we came prepared with thermals and a rain jacket. There is still a problem with Covid on ships. Two people from our group did get Covid.

Alaska has been oversold by cruise line. There are too many people to actually experience what people have gone there for.

Greeted at many ports by dancers, tyco drummers, and folks greeting and waving at us upon arrival and departure. All cities were very, very clean with helpful people. Felt extremely safe in all cities. Once the logic of the subway and addresses can be identified it is easy to travel. Left Japan feeling very peaceful.

We had a fantastic time visiting Japan. It was an unforgettable experience visiting the country. The cruise itself was alright but not the best we have experienced in the past with Holland America.

Great itinerary! Bring cash! Many places you go do not accept credit cards, like all public transports in Japan. ATMs do not take US credit cards for withdrawals, either. With cash, you can use the automated money exchange machines at the port terminals very easily.

we enjoyed this cruise very much. The ship was very nice, staff was so nice and they work so hard. Our ports of call were very interesting, and our excursions were great. We saw alot in every port, and things that we had not seen in other places in the world. We enjoy Holland America cruises, as they are not real fancy, but simple and the food is always very good.

Loved the clientele on this ship, very quiet and well mannered. The cruise director was outstanding and also our restaurant waiter Team Kadek and Tian in the main dining room. We enjoyed the entertainment and the ‘Happy Hours’ in the Bars. The itinerary of this cruise was super.

1 of our best vacation and best cruises we have been on many a little slower pace

I would do it again ! Thank you my best travel angel of the world - Lincoln for awesome planning , booking and care .

We had a wonderful time and would love to come back. I highly recommend it while you are young and can still climb stairs easily. Lots of walking.

If you go, its about the destinations. Mostly this ships crew needs a lot of work

I would recommend this Holland America cruise to anyone looking for a relaxing peek at Alaska.

Nice but not like our last experience some years ago

We needed a break from the past few years and we got exactly what we needed.. great service, good food and drink, and plenty of ways to just relax around the ship areas and enjoy the sea. We could not have asked for better weather, sunshine in every port. Our only downside was both getting Influenza A and not feeling well at the last two ports. That's the breaks of being in enclosed spaces with a lot of folks after a few years of isolation. I'm not sure we got all the correct on board credit we were supposed to, be sure to check your bookings, take screenshots if it says pre-paid gratuity etc. It will come in useful for any questions later.

Overall, the cruise was great. Very relaxed and not stuffy

I would highly recommend this cruise, although it was a little late in the season for Alaska. Wasn't terribly cold, but 3 of the 4 ports it was raining HARD! So, excursions and exploring were limited... and no Northern Lights because the clouds were always overhead. But it was an excellent cruise and the ship was extremely comfortable.

I enjoyed my cruise but would not choose this line next time due to the lack of entertainment and things to do on board. Grateful we had a balcony because we ended up spending a lot of our time there.
