Zaandam - Reviews

Very happy with the cruise, Plenty of sitting area. O\Poo; ans hot tub nice.

Cruise was good, but caters to older clientele. Food was fine and staff was excellent, they went out of their way to be pleasant and friendly. Probably wouldn’t go on this line again unless itinerary was only one that matched my particular needs.

The food and drink on the ship were just satisfactory. We really did not like how complicated the drink package was as to what we could drink on our package and what was not included in the package. The spa was extremely overpriced. The cabin cleaning staff were exceptional!

We took this cruise because of the itinerary. The ship is fine, we would sail on the Zaandam again, but it wasn't my favorite ship. There are things to do onboard, but it is limited compared to the larger ships. The service and food were very good. I loved that in the buffet, the staff served most of the food instead of guests helping themselves. Not all guests are diligent in washing their hands.

Great cruise! Good ports of call which is the reason we chose this cruise.

Overall a great trip. Would pay attention to the details if booking on Holland America in the future -especially around beverage packages. Crew and staff for HA are top notch and wonderful!

A great cruise from Montreal to Boston via the St Lawrence River. Canada's Maritime provinces are beautiful and interesting. Great weather the entire time!

Overall great. Again, nice touch having staff say thank you for travelling before leaving terminal. Easiest disembark . Amazing. Holland America did a wonderful job.

The cruise was wonderful even though I had to go to an inside cabin on the Main deck. Fantastic entertainment and service.

Overall this was a great vacation. Got to spend time with my parents and boyfriend and really enjoyed the view as well as the area we visited. Disappointed that shore excursions were cancelled and could not re-book. I understand weather related cancellations but that was only 1 of the 3. The excursions we did take were great! and all of the locals and cruise staff were friendly and personable.

Worst ever. Smallest ocean view ever. No real view

Wonderful trip with a mediocre ending. It appears that the cruise lines know this trip was set too early in the season but didn't care.

This was a very nice, exciting cruise of an area of the world which we had never seen.

I've said it. Great itinerary. Old, boring ship with very little interesting to do on board. But if you are 80 or above, it is probably your speed

It was truly a pleasure and unforgettable cruise! We hated to leave and would love/hope to do the Antarctic experience again. Only thing I do not recommend purchasing is the internet because it is expensive but substandard, literally gave me a headache due to very slow speed...not worth your time. I should've listened to previous reviews but was hoping it was different this time. We still absolutely loved and enjoyed our cruise and highly recommend it!

We will definitely recommend this cruise to others. We loved the ship and crew. We took wonderful EXC tours and will remember the Penguins on the Falkland Islands always.

Great tour and state. This was our third visit to Alaska. Scenery is breathtaking; citizens are very friendly and helpful. We hired non-Holland shore excursions with knowledgeable natives that took us off the routine tourist routes and gave us more insight of their lives and of Alaska.

The Zaandam is a beautiful smaller ship and everyone in the crew was always so friendly , courteous and helpful . The food was excellent.

Good trip and fun time but food was not up to expectation. Thank goodness for Pinnacle Grill, Pinnacle was great.

Very Friendly Staff Average food in Lido, Very Good food in Dining Room
