Amsterdam to Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

We based our decision to cruise Holland after sailing with the line 2 times in the past and being extremely happy with exceptional service. However, I am sure a lot is the loss of crew members after COVID but also the age factor. It was not something we knew beforehand but did figure the line itself is for mature adults 50plus. The majority it appeared were over 75-95! We found on this ...

We just finished a seven-day cruise to Norwegian fjords out of Amsterdam and really enjoyed the experience. The ship is brand new and looks it; the staff were cleaning the already immaculate common spaces daily. The balcony room was well laid-out and spacious. The service was excellent and food was very good as well. The entertainment worked for us because it was music-focused, and we ...

Holland America Rotterdam – Norse Legends 7 nights –Sept. 9-16, 2023 Amsterdam, Eidfjord, Alesund, Geiranger, Bergen, Amsterdam This was our first HAL cruise, and first time to Amsterdam and Norway. This was our 23rd cruise. We have previously sailed NCL, Carnival, RCCL, Celebrity and Princess. It was a fantastic cruise and itinerary! The ship is beautiful and we loved exploring a new ...

There were several things we enjoyed about this cruise - our beautiful and large Neptune Suite stateroom, the food and service in the "Club Orange" dining room, the newness and cleanliness of the ship, and some of the nightly entertainment. Our frustration and disappointment began when we learned just after the cruise that we had been charged $250 for "General Supplies", which we later discovered ...

The ports of call and countries are what attracted us to this cruise. This was our fifth cruise on Celebrity. Unfortunately, it was NOT the Celebrity Cruise Line that we remember. Here are some of the positives, and sadly many negatives: Celebrity Apex is a beautiful ship. The artwork, design, color schemes all lovely. Entertainment was very good. La Petit Chef, and Fine Cut were ...

The ship was suggested by my travel agent, K& E Travel, who is based in Florida but knows world travel very well!... It was a fantastic experience! We arrived before our scheduled boarding time, but it went very smoothly and they let us onboard the ship quite early. The cabins are extremely roomy. The room attendant kept it immaculate! Our excursions were educational and fun! Every night there ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary that included Iceland and Greenland, and the price (we travel a lot, before the Jewel, we spent weeks in Europe and since this cruise we spent 6 weeks in Singapore, Hong Kong, and China), since we have to watch the budget. We enjoyed the itinerary, and overall the experience was good. The crew worked hard and the service was good. We loved ...

The food was mediocre at best. The itinerary was why we chose this cruise. I have been around long enough to know that the new, splashy ships have the least interesting itineraries, and the older tired ships have the most interesting itineraries. However, I did not expect the older ship to offer subpar food and experiences. The salad dressings had no flavor at all, and the soups were just ...

We chose this cruise primarily because of the itinerary. We are not novice cruises, having done over 60 of them. The ship is older, but appears to be well maintained for the most part. Embarktation was slow, stood in line for over an hour before we boarded. We had a balcony cabin that was spacious and featured good storage. Most employees try very hard to please, but overall management is ...

We chose this cruise very long ago ,and then, covid! So it was rescheduled and changed some ports a few times. We were excited about the ports, we had not been to any of them. We made plans to stay in Amsterdam for a week before boarding. We were ready to cruise when we boarded. Boarding was ok. Since we have 4 stars we got sent through right away when we arrived at the pier, in time for the ...
