Excellent cruise by
A Traveler from Chicago Sailing date: Mar 2011Pros: We enjoyed everything! (service, accommodations, ports of call, ship amenities) Cons: sometimes the food on the Lido deck was a bit bland but the dining room was fabulous Overall this was a great cruise for first time cruisers. We celebrated our anniversary and had a wonderful time. Stewards were amazingly attentive to our needs. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodLido deck was more of a cafeteria style fare, and dining room fare was of better quality. Room service is included in the price of the cruise which was awesome for breakfast on our balcony Stateroom QualityAs first time cruisers we were very impressed with the stateroom. Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & ActivitiesThe shows were entertaining and probably a great training ground for young people to get into show business.

Oranjestad, ArubaTake the bus to the beach and save money.
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Cruiseline Private Island)Jet Skiing was fabulous on the cay
CuracaoThis is a great place to visit yet our excursion was cancelled at the last minute. The ship did not dock or disembark within the timeframe of the scheduled excursion. Needless to say we were very disappointed with the excursion agency and lack of assistance in providing an alternative excursion.

  First class service and food! by
Maureen McGlynn from Rochester, NY Sailing date: Mar 2010Pros: The attentive staff: Room stewards, front desk staff and all waitstaff Cons: Nothing! Everything was perfect. However, it tends to be for an older group, but there were also a mix of young, single and families with youngsters. The majority were retirees. Cleanliness was most noticeable! Great care was taken with food handling and all precautions nessary were taken to prevent any illness on ship. Service was everywhere...all staff were friendly and accomodating. Ship Quality

The BEST trip ever!!!!!! by
Janice H from Glen Burnie, MD Sailing date: Sep 2009Pros: The ship and crew were the BEST Cons: nothing The cruise to Alaska on the Westerdam was the BEST vacation ever. Not only was the ship big and beautiful but the crew exceptional. Everyone did their best to do whatever you wanted or could think of. I highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting an exceptional time on a beautiful ship with an excellent crew to a beautiful state. I will cruise again on this line and tell others about it.

A Real Vacation. by
Beth from Charlotte, NC Sailing date: Oct 2006Pros: The variety of activites and the attention to detail each one had. This cruise was so wonderful, becuase our only worry was whether we'd eat first or just go to the pool. The ports of call were all very unique. We did 4 in a week, which kept everyday very special. The value of this trip was worht 3 times what we paid. I would recommend a Holland America Cruise to people of all ages adn agendas. It was great! Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities: There was something for everyone. I liked the gym and the location. It looks out in front of the ship.

Great overall trip. by
Karen from Westchester County, NY Sailing date: Apr 2006Pros: It's hard to pick one--the ship was physically very lovely, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. My husband, son, and I had a wonderful time. The ship was not too big, and it had a luxurious feel, but it wasn't stuffy. The food was generall very good, but rarely outstanding. The ports were all very enjoyable. Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities: Fitness center had a nice view. Pool area was nice, and it had a retractable roof.
Entertainment: Great magician and comic--dancers were just okay. 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful.
