Trip was great! HAL was, overall, an excellent cruise line. The Zuiderdam needs a complete refit, per Zuiderdam staff. by debsterw2016

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Zuiderdam

Be very careful in the Azores because of the volcanic cobblestones everywhere. At least 10 people on our cruise broke fingers, wrists, hands, arms and shoulders by falling and bracing themselves with their arms out in front of them. Two people had to go back home with open, compound fractures. Use walking sticks and be mindful of where you are walking.

Beyond Expectations by Cruiser97753790

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam

Wonderful trip around the world with excellent crew who surpassed our expectations (it seems every need was happily anticipated and attended to) and world ports that both surprised and enchanted. A large part of our bucket list was checked off, not as achievements but rather as experiences to be cherished. A world cruise is not for everyone and possibly not again for us, but we were thrilled to have this opportunity.

The Most Horrible Cruise We Have Ever Taken by speedybfmc

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Don't waste your time or your money. If we were offered $100 or a free cruise, we would take the $100.00 over the $1,600 spent on this joke of a trip. If they were to offer us a free cruise back on the same cruise line, we would decline immediately. We wouldn't even play bingo to win a free cruise because it wouldn't have been worth the paper that the bingo cards were printed on.

Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

I sent Holland America the details. I ran out of character space and had to omit things.

Excellent Birthday Cruise. by Tony58

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

The great & smooth voyage made the whole experience so relaxing that I spent every night retiring early to my stateroom; sleeping in every day. I disembarked in San Juan, shopping at the Ralph Lauren Polo Outlet. Otherwise, I went to the beautiful beach at Half Moon Key. The white sand & unbelievably blue ocean water cannot be found anywhere in the world!

Fun, but disappointing for several reasons by bob59935675

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Panama Canal, Central America

Fun but I feel we were deceived by Holland America because they knew in advance that we were not going to stop in 2 of the Mexican ports, but did not tell us in advance, which would have been the honest, ethical thing to do.

Very Good Cruise but with too few port stops by johnhrahe

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Panama Canal, Central America

The Zuiderdam staff, food and entertainment were all excellent, but the ship did appear to need some maintenance work in a few areas. In general we would have like to have more port calls as we felt there was too much time at sea.

Epic Alaska Cruise by all4nunns

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

I spent a lot of my free time at the Crows Nest capturing the views, relaxing and reading a book. If l was not there l was using the recreation center or eating all the wonderful food being offered. Awesome trip!

Great Alaska and Yukon experience by sorton

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

Our trip was a cruisetour. We selected the land portion to be first. It was amazing. We decided to have the 2 day Denali stay and a Yukon land tour. We all had a memorable trip. Our tour director, Justin, was beyond wonderful. By having the cruise at the end of the trip, we only visited Skagway, where we boarded the ship, and Ketchikan.

Overall a good trip; had new adventures in Alaska. by Stjim

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Alaska - Inside Passage

It was our 3rd time in Alaska. We opted for tours in two places not previously offered--the Tracy Arm adventure and the photo safari--and got to see Skagway and learn some of its history. All in all a nice way to mark my wife's birthday. (And yes, the wait staff brought a piece of cake and sang the "traditional" celebration song.)

Great Alaskan Cruise by MsBea

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)

It was a lovely trip that I wanted to complete before my 75th birthday. I also consider this as one of my bucket list experiences.

not what we had hoped for by scotiagirl

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Panama Canal, Central America

We would not choose this cruise line again, the negatives for us did not go away and the positives were what we have know on other cruises lines. Holland is more expensive and the value added is just not there for us. I realize that it is personal choice and Holland has many loyal return cruisers, but we will not be one of them. Sadly for us we paired this cruise with a 34 Tahiti cruise on the same ship and we really wished we had not as we feel stuck here for the next month.

good cruise for being just back in service by ralph2245

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Mexico

Much better than expected, precautions were in place against the spread of virus, although services were affected by sick crew. The embarkation procedures were the best we have experienced. Food was great and entertainment was good.
