This was a very nice, laid back Alaska Cruise. This itinerary caters to a much older crowd, so I think some of the negative reviews don’t take that into account. The ship is in decent shape but it is getting close to time for a refresh. The onboard entertainment is limited and aimed at the 60 to 80 year old crowd. Our excursions and the sights of Alaska were awesome and made the entire vacation worth it.

The whole ship was In need of a major overhaul. Balcony Cabin was very tired looking, basic and small. Service, dining and entertainment was all good.

Holland Alaskan Cruise Tour
Jun 16th, 2019
This is our second Alaskan cruise tour, first time on Holland and first time with our teen daughters. Alaska is amazing and a must do experience. We were pleased with Holland America. The Noordam is a smaller ship than we have cruised on in the past and made for a good experience. So many great excursions to experience and sights to see. We stayed in a suite for the size with added value of a separate lounge (so so), special concierge (good), easier embarkation (great), and complimentary laundry (amazing). Norwegians haven is a far better suite experience but I would do this again if sailing Holland. Alaska is always perceived as an older person cruise. Don’t wait. There are so many great experiences and you will have a blast.

Perfect Cruise To Discover Alaska
Jun 13th, 2019
We were very pleasantly surprised by our experience on this ship. Despite our laughter at some of the decorating choices made back in the nineties, the crew and the procedures on this ship are top notch.

I had a wonderful time. The optional excursions (river rafting, whale watching, and flightseeing) made it even more memorable.

Awesome Alaska Cruise
Jun 9th, 2019
We were not cruise people prior to this, but this one won us over. True to prior reviews, Holland America caters to more of a senior crowd, which was great for us. The service, food and activities were fantastic.
