Review for a Alaska Cruise on Koningsdam

I'll break this into pros and cons.
PROS. The ship is a perfect size with a good layout. It is generally clean. Very little vibration and mostly at the back. Seemed to be in good repair. I found the beds a little hard but my wife liked them.
THE FOOD. Generally good and better than many other lines. Buffet selections varied from day to day with some common themes like Asian, Carving ...

I was desperate to cruise again after 3 years of Covid restrictions. The price was right, the itinerary was familiar, and I had not previously sailed on Koningsdam. I achieved 4 Star Mariner status on this cruise so I believe I had reasonable expectations based on 195 Holland America days at the start of the cruise. The ship is very nice but has a starkness about it. The staff, as usual, were ...

This was our first Holland America cruise. This was our second trip to Alaska. The first trip to Alaska was on Celebrity and we did the land plus cruise experience. This trip was cruise only. Initially, the reason we selected Holland America was the fact that they are one of very few lines that can cruise Glacier Bay. (Celebrity does not). When it is simply my wife and I we have tended to ...

Day Before Embarkation
Traveling with me for this cruise was my wife, Mrs. Klutch, her sister and my mom and dad. (Mom and Dad are mid-70s. The rest of us are mid-50s.) We flew into Vancouver airport and caught a cab to the Vancouver Airport Marriott. This is a nice, clean hotel in a nice area. Cab fare was about $50.00; well worth it to get the five of us and luggage to the hotel.
We had ...

PRE-EMBARKATION: We requested tactile hearing devices to be installed in our cabin and received a confirmation email a month prior to sailing stating the info was forwarded to the appropriated department on the boat. In the evening on day 1, I went to guest relations to inform them of the issue. The ship had no record of our request. Two days into the cruise we were playing telephone tag with ...

We have been sailing with HAL since 1985 and are 4 star Mariners. We could have been 5 star had we been willing to book cabins without baloneys or amenities we have come to enjoy. Once HAL started offering this outside space, we were hooked. Unfortunately, this comes with a price...fewer cruises.
We booked this trip because it was reasonably, gave us a chance to breakaway from the spring ...

Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Koningsdam

This was our 3rd cruise with Holland America and our second on the Koningsdam, and first to Hawaii. It was a test run of a longer cruise with more sea days, with splendid results: we loved the sea days, and the tour around the Hawaiian islands was a lot of fun.
We booked an inside cabin and a Retreat cabana, rather than a Veranda room. We were happy with the inside cabin, which was roomy, ...

I took neighbours on the Koningsdam in August 2022 and everything on the ship was delightful. Barely eight months later, almost everything on the ship was appalling.
Gustavo Antorcha, HAL CEO, has stated:
On each ship, the guest experience attracts cruisers back again and again with the best live music at sea, a culinary program that rivals the best land-based restaurants, and engaging ...

Unclear policy and unhelpful guests’ services, pre-cruise
Chaotic Embarkation
Disorganization of the Restaurant
Food rationing – unbelievable!
Uncompassionate, inflexible management style
Inadequate communications, announcement
Lack of proper ...

This cruise was wonderful.
Embarkation was horrible. No order. It was simply a free for all. No one followed what order there was.
Our dining room waiters were great and we never had a bad meal. These waiters would stand on their heads if you asked them to. Our room stewards were wonderful. Kept our cabin very clean. We made our own bed. Anything to make their job easier.
The ...
