Holland America Line - Oosterdam Review Summary
Our reviews gave Holland American's Oosterdam mostly positive comments with a few negative ones as well. Viewpoint cruisers loved the food, the "flawless" service and the large staterooms. They didn't like the high spa and internet prices and they were split on the entertainment. But the good news is there is always something to do.

Instead of having the Phillipine houseboys put on a "show" for the entertainment, the Blues Cruise office books twenty plus blues, rhythm & blues and zydeco bands, and there are 10-15 music shows a day, using all the ship's venues. The problem is not boredom, it is getting to see everyone-an almost impossible task!

The Oosterdam is a beautiful ship. Holland America does an excellent job of providing the perfect cruise experience. Sometimes it is the little touches like providing heated blankets and hot soup when you are on deck watching the glacier that add extra special memories to an already magnificent moment. The food is top-notch. The service is flawless. I've been on many cruises, and this one ranks among the top. Alaska is beautiful, a cruise is the only way to see the glaciers up close, and going on a cruise with excellent service and food makes it a perfect vacation.
