Holland America - Oosterdam Reviews

The ship had an excellent crew and good, but not particularly sophisticated entertainment. Food was very well presented which made up for the small portions and ordinary taste. The ship décor felt a little tired and the spaces not very interesting but all was exceptionally clean and tidy. The best excursions were those that were most adventurous - to get into the wild.

Alaska is always a great trip. Ship employees were the best...very accommodating and always smiling and meeting our needs. Ship was old and dated and there wasn't really much to do on ship.

Service was very good ,but cruise was okay.

Excellent experience.

I was disappointed because we were in a room that was right above a club and we were not informed we would hear thumping until they closed. Usually it does not bother me because it is accompanied by music but this was just thumping. It gave me headaches. Had I been informed the room was going to be like that i definitely would not have taken it. One of our stops was at 7 am and after not sleeping much, I was a grumpy person. Please inform people it is an inconvenient room when booking. The food was good but not great and the activites onboard were few. We did enjoy it and wanted to try Holland so, thanks but I think I will chose another line next time.

Holland America is a fantastic cruise line. Food was wonderful. Staff was wonderful. Service was wonderful. I am already thinking about my next cruise with them.

The ship was beautiful, the staff responsive and pleasant. The food to die for, no matter what your diet preference. The activities were fun, but most of all we were blessed with beautiful weather. I want to do it again soon.

Loved the friendly service of your staff. Everyone was friendly. The food was good, if not great. I particularly loved the Hobbard glacier and the mountain scenery. Need more inexpensive explorations getting onto the actual land of Alaska - sightseeing tours.

This trip did not provided the level of service I had come to expect from Holland. Worn sheets, inaccurate and slow room service, consistently backed up plumbing, severla llose tiles in dining area,spa beds were not hot, spa baths were not hot and jets with low pressure.internet was less than adequate. Even after discussing issues and calling about plumbing nothing was done. Not sure we will be sailing with holland again.

We have never had a smaller cabin on any of the many cruises that we have taken. Activities on board left a lot to be desired.

First, we requested an unobstructed balcony view. The room we were assigned was right above the roofs of the life boats. This room should have been labeled "partially obstructed view." Also we were supposed to receive a $75.00 shipboard credit which never showed up on our account. The crew on the Oosterdam were exceptionally nice and helpful and I have nothing but praise for them. Outstanding in every way. The ship could however use a bit of renovation as it is definitely showing it's age. Overall the cru

Alaska is beautiful & spectacular! Could have had more time to spend in Victoria . Was disappointed in the Oosterdam ship. Our previous trip on Holland America Koensberg ship was much more enjoyable. Food service on Lido deck was only fair as compared to Koensbrg and the entertainment on main stage was also disappointing. BB King lounge entertainment was excellent!

This was the most inefficient inside cabin we ever had, and we have cruised many, many times. Food was good, crew was helpful and efficient, activities left a lot to be desired.

Cabin stewards were fantastic. All the crew was smiling, ready to help. Food was wonderful and entertainment was good.

It was everything we hoped it would be. The ship was great, the staff was friendly & excellent which is why we are repeat customers, the itinerary was perfect & we loved all of it!

My wife and I very much enjoyed this 12 days cruise. It met all of expectations. Staff on the ship was superb. Will definitely book cruise on Holland America in the future.
