Zaandam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The food, ship, cabin and excursions were all very disappointing. Our steward was excellent, but the maintenance crew took three days to fix the air-conditioning and leaks in our room. The guest services staff was professional and helpful. The chef and cooks on board should be fired. We have never experienced such poor food on a cruise.

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 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!

Over all I enjoyed my time with my wife. the cruise overall was OK , not a wow factor. Just being honest. I wish we had more time for natural areas.

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.

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.

Great Cruise, very relaxing, service as always on Holland America was top notch.

Delivered on expectations, great relaxing cruising

Worst ever. Smallest ocean view ever. No real view

This would rank as our least favorite cruise. Zaandam, which we have cruised on twice before, was tired and need some loving care (preventative Maintenance) The staff made the cruise. The weather was cold and windy, but then it is Springtime! Missing the day in Montreal was a bummer. Entertainment was not as good as expected.

This ship needs upgrading. The TV in our stateroom never worked right even after replacing it with a different one. The DVD player didn't work at all so we never got to watch any movies. 😡

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.

The bad weather was not the fault of Zaandam, but we were happy when the cruise was over. I would not recommend a visit to Canada this early in the season.

Excellent itenarary, perfect cabin service Entertainment could have been better

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

Met amazing people and had a fabulous Cruise. Would do again on a heartbeat

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

I can’t say enough good things about this cruise, It was my favorite. We were so fortunate with the weather and were able to explore parts of the Antarctic peninsula that the ship was unable to go to on previous tours. Our experience with the US Palmer Ststion explorers who visited the ship all day one day was great. learned so much about the research going on and the way of life at the ststion,

If you are interested in the environment, climate issues, animal survival and incredible scenery this is a cruise for you. The ship is small, 1400+ so we could get into small bays and into the fjords with ease.....
