Holland America Reviews

Good looking ship, excellent crew, and food

The accommodations in Signature Suite were wonderful. Food on board was not flavorful. Brunch was delicious. We enjoyed the entertainment. Piano Bar entertainment was very good. Our last excursion was less than acceptable. Kennebunkport and Cruise. Cruise was canceled. This was after we already drove an hour to get there when they knew the cruise was not going to go when we were on our way. They could have let passengers decide if they wanted to go or return to ship. We HAD to spend 21/2 hours in town before returning to ship. All NOT ACCEPTABLE! Staff on ship were very courteous. Entertainment director was great! She has so much energy and enthusiasm. She is a keeper!! Beautiful ship!

The ship was very nice and we loved our stateroom. The food was just ok. Our excursions were good except for the last one. We were supposed to take a boat ride in Kennebunkport. There was an issue with low tide and we could not go out. We were not told this until we arrived and were informed that we were spending 2 hours in Kennebunkport, like it or not. How did no one know this ahead of time? We were extremely disappointed in the way this was handled.

Enjoyed trip, seeing the red leaves along the river in Quebec. Room and services were very good. Disappointed that many menu items no have extra charge.

Holland staff make this an amazing line to travel. Also the bonus of the travel company specials make it more memorable.

Great trip! Very attentive and nice staff. Many delicious food choices. Beautifully decorated, well maintained, very clean cruise ship. Well chosen stage shows . Varied activities. Tour excursions had great tour guides, friendly and very knowledgeable. Mostly older folk on this cruise. Would travel with Holland America again in the future

Travel to and from was a nightmare but the Cruise was great! We met lots of people and dined with a lovely couple from Honolulu Hawaii.

Loved the fjords. Disappointed how 14 days was actullay like 2- 7day cruises with everything the same except the ports.

It was fantastic

Everything was just fine , in particular the room service and the restaurant services and food was great , the only downside is the time espended in same places , too short in Istanbul too long in Chipre , too short in Alandia , a part of the we are very happy , in particular the service of the crew

You exceeded my expectations! My only quibble is that the shower was hard to operate- an explanation by the steward on arrival would have been helpful

We enjoyed all components of the trip. Above and beyond what we expected. Thanks

The cruise was nice. Food was not as good as I remember Holland having. We missed the land portion because my husband got sick with COVID.

From the beginning planning stages to the flight home after disembarkation from the HAL Eurodam, this trip went so smoothly, and was one of the best trips of our lives! Alaska is unique, and seeing the glaciers and the coastal mountains and quaint towns from a cruise ship is the absolute best! Our Avoya agent, Erik was fantastic to work with. He was so knowledgeable and patient with us as we took our time deciding on a cruise line, and ship. Once booked, all went well, and Erik answered any questions we had, giving us great advice. Holland America was awesome and is my new favorite cruise line. I highly recommend Avoya, and Holland America if you are planning an Alaska cruise, and I definitely recommend Alaska as a wonderful and unique cruise destination. It's absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! Be sure you eat salmon and king crab legs while you are there. You won't get it any fresher than in Alaska! From the food to the scenery to the fantastic service from the cruise line staff, and of course the planning phase with Avoya, it couldn't have been better!

A fabulous cruise!

Overall, it was a great cruise. HA amenities are perfect for what we want. We utilized the pickleball court everyday. The food was good. We always enjoy happy hour as we don't purchase the drink package. The entertainment was good though they had the same comedian four times during the 14-day cruise. My only negative comment is that I think HA service, especially in the Lido Market is slipping. It is difficult to get beverages and refills except for self serve.

Excellent weather. Scenery was spectacular. Bears, seals, otters, whales and eagles. Early morning pickleball with ample food supplies thereafter. A peaceful two weeks. Having been above the Arctic Circle, this was a new part of Alaska for us. We approve! Thank you.

The sites were breathtaking. The crew was top notch.

This was our second USA/Canada cruise. We went in very early spring last year. We wanted to go again in warmer weather. We had a great time .

Very good cruise.

The itinerary provided places of beauty and interest.
