Alaska - 8/2010
Holland America's ship the Oosterdam has it all. Beauty and dignity everywhere!
Holland America was a nice surprise for me. I have sailed many times on many lines and had shied away from Holland. No specific reason. But I cannot tell you how glad I am that I finally went. The service was some of the best I think I have ever experienced. From the room steward up to the Maitre D there was no one on this ship that did not stop and say hi and ask how you are. That made you feel wanted.
My cabin was a partially obstruced view and I was shocked when I arrived. I had a window from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. Just like a balcony door but just a window!!! We did have a partial view of a lifeboat but still there was plenty of room to see past that and enjoy the ocean.
The bathroom was much larger than most ships in that category of cabins. They even had a bathtub.
There were 3 closets. Plenty for us and possibly more if needed. Lots of shelf space. Not to many drawers but the shelves helped.
The lighting at the desk was not the greatest for fixing your hair and or makeup but that is where the hair dryer was. So I made do and did just fine.
The first night in the cabin the A.C. was not working and so they brought us a fan and they continued to work on it until it was fixed, which was around midnight.
I really don't think I could have asked for anything that they could not bring me or fix for me etc. Such an awesome crew.
The dining was second to none. I loved every meal and I loved that they were nice size meals. Not an over abundance of any thing.
The open seating for dinner was especially nice. The first night we really enjoyed our waiter and so we made reservations each night to be at any one of his tables. We got the same table 4 nights and it was pretty special.
We at at the buffet for breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised as to the freshness of everything and it all had great flavor. Most buffets get bland and old after a while but not on the Oosterdam.
The burgers and the taco bar were excellent as well. And the ice cream every afternoon. YUMMMMMY
Thank you for a memorable cruise.

We use Holland America a lot, and the Oosterdam in particular. Even with some technical difficulties aboard, the staff more than compensates for this shortcoming with their willingness to accommodate each guest.
I have sailed on the Oosterdam 4 times in the last 18 months hosting groups. Like all ships, things go wrong from time to time, whether they be mechanical or schedule related. What sets Holland America apart, and the Oosterdam, is the willingness of the crew to step up and do what it takes to make things right.
I find the accommodations to be among the best around. The food has gotten increasingly better over the years, and the service is excellent. I am not an entertainment person, but can say with confidence that the dealers in the casino are very friendly.
We think HAL offers the best bang-for-the-buck in the cruise industry.
Pros: Holland America stands up for their product and do what it takes to make customers happy.
Cons: The ship is in somewhat rough shape, but is due to drydock in April and all of this should be repaired.
