NZ Cruise 3 , WA, Australia, Feb 2024
12 Days on Holland America, perfect weather and incredible ports to visit. New Zealand does not disappoint. Not sure I would go Holland America, the demographic was quite old and not a lot to do at night. Food was amazing though.
New Zealand cruise 5 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2023
Very much appreciated Jemma arranging our cruise and providing excellent information and details on the itinerary. We think Holland America should inform non American travellers about the Crew Appreciation deductions and the taking out of money from our account without informing us. This temporarily suspended our account. Otherwise the whole experience read more with staff and entertainment and food was highly satisfied.
