Ship Reviews

We recently went on cruise to Alaska with a group of 10, it was an unforgettable experience! Although it rained during our trip, the exceptional service we received on the cruise made sure that the weather didn’t affected us how much we loved the trip. The food was absolutely phenomenal- fresh seafood, top quality steak, tasty desserts and a variety of delicious dishes every day. We had a reservation at 5pm every evening, and we couldn’t wait to sit down for dinner, as the menu was different every single night, everything tasted great. The ship itself was amazing, and the scenic views were stunning. The highlight was how close the ship got to the glacier; the view was breathtaking. We had so much fun throughout the trip, with plenty of activities and great service. From the dining experience to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Holland America Line to all my friends and family. I will definitely be cruising with them again.

Wonderful trip on the Zaandam. We lucked out and had beautiful weather 6 out of seven days. Sailing through Glacier Bay was beautiful. We spent an hour by Marjorie Glacier. They have recliners with soft pads and blankets which were so comfy and warm. They also served pea soup and coffee and hot cocoa up there. The bow was also open for easy viewing. Sailing the inside passage we saw whales and dolphins and sea otters. Again they opened the bow for wildlife viewing. So awesome. The ship is over 20 years old but so clean it sparkled. The inside cabin we had was quite large with a full size sofa. Plenty of room for 2 people. This was cleaned twice a day if you chose turn down service. Staff were the friendliest and most accomodating i have ever come across on a cruise ship. Shout out to Jasmin, Jessica and Enrico. Best bar staff ever!! Space on this ship is utilized very well for a small ship. There was also a spot you could sit and relax and look out the windows. Food was so good. I tended to sray away from the buffet. However dining room and room service were excellent. Embarkation at Vancouver was easy. Arrived at 12 30 and on ship 20 minutes later. Disembarking was also easy. Handed border security our declaration form and we were on our way. Entertainment was so so but i don't go on a cruise for the entertainment. The one step dancers Hunanity show was very good and Chris Patterson the British singer was excellent. Eli in the mix bar was okay and so was "The Band" in the Ocean Bar. I highly recommend this ship and this cruise. Looking forward to being on the Zaandam again. We are 60+ and enjoyed the pace of a small ship with an older crowd.
