Holland America cruises receive high marks for service, scenic itineraries, and overall organization, with many guests praising the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. The ship's cleanliness and comfort are frequently highlighted, though some reviewers note that certain ships are showing signs of age and could benefit from modernization. Food and dining experiences are mixed, with some guests enjoying the cuisine while others find it repetitive or lacking in quality. Entertainment and activities are generally appreciated, but some guests desire more variety and higher quality performances. Excursions and ports are often a highlight, especially in Alaska and Australia/New Zealand, though some guests express disappointment with limited time at certain destinations or excursions selling out. Pricing and value are a concern for some, with mentions of rising costs and reduced services. Internet connectivity and specialty services receive mixed feedback, with Wi-Fi often described as expensive and unreliable. Overall, the cruise line is seen as a solid choice, especially for those seeking excellent service and well-organized itineraries.

The cruise was very good. Unfortunately, we have notices that the cruise line continues to reduce services and increase prices. It gets noticed and one wonders how much more they will do before they start to see a reduction in cruises who enjoyed a certain class of services and amenities.

The food was disappointing. Many times the only food option 4 lunch was the buffet. I found the food in the buffet repetitive and not fresh. It was very challenging finding meal options that were served hot. In addition, you did not always get what you ordered.
