1-10 of 82 Holland America Line Eurodam Cruise Reviews for Family to the Southern Caribbean
This was our fourth HAL cruise, and we were very disappointed. Holland America has been wonderful in past years, and we have extolled it's virtues, but this Eurodam cruise seemed understaffed, and the service was lackadaisical at best. We booked a Signature Suite but found that it was just a larger verandah stateroom with absolutely no "suite" amenities.
Upon initial boarding, there was no ...
The ship was clean and beautiful, everything seemed to be working, and the service was absolutely fabulous. The Eurodam is a little older now, but still very nice. On service, standouts were our cabin steward who helped our disabled mother very much in her suite, the management in the Tamarind, who went above and beyond, and the disembarkation help we received because we were traveling with a ...
The Eurodam and the Jewel of the seas are almost identical in size. The Jewel has a more customer friendly central area that can be used to host music and dance events, too. It has a larger outdoor pool with far more sunbeds than the Eurodam. The Eurodam has a more enclosed, covered pool area as if it was designed for overcast, chilly North Sea sailings. The Jewel also has a solarium type warm ...
I swear that cruise lines encourage (or at least allow) employees to slack off, or more likely, weaponize incompetence on the first and last days of the cruise. After a smooth embarkation we were aghast that not only was the maître d’ not available to fix the incorrect dining assignment we had been given, but we were told to stand in two long lines that were both the wrong line. It turns out ...
This was my first cruise, so what do I know? Probably not much! But I was pretty resistant to the idea of cruising and actually had a really good time due to the Eurodam being a well run ship. I got the cruise for free as a match from my Caesar's diamond status. I received an inside room and upgraded to a verandah room for $300 per person. Was it worth it? Probably. We didn't use the ...
11 day cruise Ft Lauderdale. , balcony cabin. Boarding - Easy. Cabin Crew - Great, Cabin - Clean well maintained. Dining - main room #1 - first night given table 85 - directly in front of waiters' station - when I sit down for dinner I want to relax - that table with it's constant clattering of dishes, glassware, silverware and waiters coming and going made that impossible. From night two on was ...
We chose the 20 day repositioning cruise from Vancouver to Ft Lauderdale mainly for an opportunity to relax and be pampered..not as much for the ports of call en route. My husband has mobility issues and we didn’t expect to do many excursions ( I did 3 and he, 2). We welcomed days at sea.
We chose a Signature suite because more spacious. The bathroom was lovely and we did like extra room ...
My wife and I just returned from a 10-day Panama Canal Cruise from HAL Eurodam.
We flew down to FLL on Friday March 24. It’s the tail end of Spring Break and every hotel near the airport was $300 per night or more. I booked a room using Marriott Bonvoy points at Towneplace Suites Ft Lauderdale West. It’s a 25-minute drive from the airport, but even if we had booked a hotel near the ...
Our fourth cruise with HAL and second on the Eurodam with family in the next cabin and our first cruise since COVID hit. We had no idea things were this bad in the Industry that they were nickel and diming passengers every time you turned around. First time we had ever seen up charging for meals in the MDR and extra tip chits every time you ordered a drink with the drink package. Even the ...
This was cruise #7 for us; however, our first with HAL. This was our least favorite of the cruise lines on which we have sailed. Specifically, reasons include, boring/lack luster entertainment, lack of on board activities and poor selection of food choices in dining room. We wanted to have a table for 2; did not want to share. We were made to feel that this was an imposition and unreasonable. ...
