Baltic Cruise by drbillsimpon

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

The one thing that was a problem was that in many ports there are huge distances to cover. For those with limited mobility having a couple of go-carts to transport would be ideal. The ship did offer wheelchair assistance, but the booking of this was cumbersome. Often when one returns to the ship, there was no one to meet us with a wheelchair.

Great cruise by sandyknutson

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

The cities of the Baltic were great. St. Petersburg was the most interesting. We took a 2 day tour from and had a wonderful experience.

Great Baltic Cruise by jnagy1206

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

Great ship experience. Love Holland America. Wish the tours were more adventurous with more free time. Unable to even enjoy a German Beer in Kiel as we ended up with only 18 minutes free time. Our guide was long winded and rambled. And we were looking forward to our German beer - it's the only kind I will drink. But I would still recommend this cruise. The Baltic countries are very proud with historical significance and magnificent architecture.

Ship is older. Staff was great. Ports were interesting. Entertainment was totally subpar.

Loved our Baltic cruise by rjs0007

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

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.

Great trip but wrong name as we could not get to Stonehenge for the Solstice as it was sold out on the cruise ship and we could not get there by car. by askiba7

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

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!

very nice vacation- by ursu13

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Caribbean

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!

Superb trip to the Panama Canal by Cyberchill

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Zuiderdam / Destination: Caribbean

This is a great cruise to enjoy the best of the Caribbean and a taste of the Panama Canal. Make sure you get a cruise that stops in Cartagena, as it is really a hidden gem!

Travel Agent is a problem... by lowellmerklin

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

We were promised a $250 credit by BJ’s Agent but never received the credit. That made our experience very unfavorable.

Excellent Way to See the Panama Canal by TimfromReno

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

While the traditional Panama Canal cruise enters and exits in the same day, doing a partial transit as this ship did is a much better way to actually see Panama. When you do the full transit, you spend the entire day just getting through the canal and do not get to see Panama. This itinerary allowed us to see some of Panama and the canal up close.

Outstanding cruise by paintincluded

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

Yes an older group of people, seniors if you will. But this can be a very nice change to the insanity that does occur on some other cruises we have done. Net of it, this was a great cruise and great experience. Thank You Holland, keep up the outstanding work.

Wonderful way to spend Christmas! I enjoyed having the Officers' families on board and the children visiting with Santa Claus. Made me feel that Christmas had finally arrived. Also, in love with the Island Magic Steel Band.

Gramma Jane - The Canal by jrhallinen

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

I love the somewhat smaller ships. Easier to navigate, no waiting in line for elevators, staff got to know us and call us by name. Met some people from the midwest and Canada the first couple of day on board and spend late afternoon, dinner and most evenings with them. The ship doesn't have all the activities that the larger ships have, but at 76 I don't need or want a wave pool, zip line, rock climbing wall etc. I want to be able to get around the ship easily, enjoy good food and the company of others with similar interests.
