Zuiderdam

This was our 11th cruise and the first on HAL. We were impressed with the cruise line and we loved the itinerary. The ship isn’t new but it’s elegant and classic. I love that it has a promenade deck. Our cabin was quiet and comfortable with a surprising amount of storage space.

Two issues occurred on the ship. One I had a massage at the spa which was great but the attendant tried to sell me on two more massages and even charged my room. I had to meet with the manager to straighten out. We like to spend time in the casinos on the sea days but while on a slot machine that I was winning on the casino manager pulled my card from the machine, told me the machine had a problem and then offered to by me a drink. Very strange!

We really enjoyed this cruise on Holland America. I'd say they take everything to the next level.

our 1st journey with holland america line- compared to the other cruises a nice experience-the staff was very friendly and helpfull -the stays in port a bit short- but perhaps that was due to a medical ER- evacuation that cut out some sometime-overall a great time- hallways could be more distinct on each floor-theme or picture wise- for easier orientation, the food was great and served fresh,nice and presented very tempting, there was plenty of things to do and easy find a quiet corner. all of the crew and staff do go of there way make it a great cruise-will choose this cruise line again!

The cruise was very pleasant, had a great time. i would have rather the stay at Cartagena be longer!
