Why Sail
Holland America?
Our Holland expreiences have been very
enjoyable. They stand out in our memory for the elegance of the ships and the
phenomenal service of the Indonesian and Filipino cruise staff. Some of the many
other reasons we enjoy Holland are:
- Very elegant ships, with beautiful 2-story dining room and fantastic
art collections
- Ships public areas are kept immaculately clean
- Nice movie theater on board
- Indonesian/Filipino staff were fantastic - best overall staff
weve ever experienced
- Excellent Panama Canal, Europe, and Alaska
programs
- Great Alaska land tour packages
- Cabins are elegant, spacious, and well
appointed
- Laid back, relaxing atmosphere
- Caters to its target (60+) audience well
We feel Holland's minor negatives
are:
- Dutch officers did not always treat the Indonesian/Filipino staff
nicely
- If you are under 40, you may feel most activities (and entertainment)
are geared more toward an older crowd than your interests
Holland is great for seniors, and couples
who enjoy an elegant, laid back cruise. We wouldn't recommend HAL for an under-40
person's first time cruise, or for your honeymoon. But for those that appreciate
elegant surroundings, good food, and impeccable service, HAL offers an excellent product.
While we are nowhere near Holland's target
customer age, we loved both of our sailings aboard Holland ships and plan to sail
the line again.
