Login Our first Signature Class ship, Eurodam epitomizes grace and excellence. Test your music trivia skills at Billboard Onboard or catch a performance at the stunning World Stage. During the day, head to top-level decks to play pickleball at sea amid an ever-changing ocean backdrop or rejuvenate with therapeutic spa treatments at the Spa & Salon.
This ship (Holland Eurodam) is a beautiful ship. Our room was very comfortable and kept clean by Acep & Eko who did an excellent job. The food was great. I loved the entertainment, Marcel on piano in the Ocean bar and the shows on the World Stage. If you are a smoker there is a nice area on the Seaview deck near the outdoor bar. The bartender and server (Dindo & Noel) are the best (hard workers, fun and just so nice). Actually, all the workers are awesome but I didn't get all their names. There are numerous activities during the day. Getting off for excursions was easy and our buses were right there waiting. I recommend the drink package cause then you just give your ship card and it includes drinks other than just alcoholic drinks. I would definitely go on the Holland Eurodam Cruise ship again and recommend it to anyone wanting a great cruise.
Last minute booking and our first time in an inside cabin. Also it was our first time without a drink package or wifi ~ a whole new experience. Cabin: was small but adequate. “His and hers closets with optional shelving or long hanging space plus one extra 1/2 hanging closet. The shower on the Eurodam had a shower curtain and was ample. There was a small table with a variable height for use as a desk or table for putting room service items. The bed was comfortable. It lacked outlets and the TV was much smaller than we are used to. We used it to watch the safety video and to see the bow cam when we woke up to see what the weather looked like. For only 7 nights we didn’t bring our usual plethora of extras but we brought a few wall magnets for hanging our hats and scarves and there was automatic floor lighting when you get up to go to the restroom after the lights are out. Our cabin attendants Joko and Aziz were charming and efficient. Embarkation: Was relatively quick - we snaked through some lines but they all moved quickly and we were “self assist” meaning we carried our own roller bags and backpacks on board. Also a first for us. It was nice to walk in the cabin and be able to unpack instantly. Activities: Due to the late spring Alaska weather they kept the main pool sliding dome covered most of the trip. One day the partially cracked it open a few feet for fresh air as they had been using varnish and needed to air the area out. The main pool had plenty of open loungers since this was not a warm cruise. They also had cabins with curtains with a double chaise lounger and a bistro table. I never found out if those were an up charge or not. We assumed so but never used them. Pickleball at sea didn’t work on this cruise due to the rain and wind - but it was up there with just 1 court. The daily activities listed instruction and tournament play but we never ventured up to see what was going on during those events. We don’t normally partake in kareoke or trivia or games but they had daily activities for those who do enjoy it. We went to a few shows. The singers and dancers were good - not great but entertaining. There was an illusionist a few nights and probably a comedian. I honestly don’t remember. Most nights that the “dam band” was playing in the Ocean Bar we stopped there to listen. They were quite good playing jazz standards. After dinner on a few nights and during the “Orange Party” night we popped into the Rolling Stones lounge for a few dances but we didn’t sit and have drinks (No drink package!) Happy Hours: We held daily in the Ocean Bar from 4-5 pm and some evenings in the Pinnacle Bar from 9-10 pm. We kind of changed our drinking habits since having 2 drinks outside of happy hour would cost us approx $25 with tax and gratuity. That can add up fast. So happy hour is a great deal. If we ever decide to take another cruise without the drink package we will change our dining arrangements to align more with the end of happy hour. We also purchased a Sommelier Suite from Cellar #1. It cost us about $179 for 6 bottles of what we call “grocery store” quality wine. It was fine. We drank Chateau Ste Michele Chardonnay a few nights and a Toro De Piedra Cabernet Sauvignon that was quite good, a couple of Mark West Pino Noir a mild easy drinker. By the final night we ended up purchasing a bottle of wine from the wine list at dinner for about $60 - The other thing we did “without” on this cruise was specialty coffee from the Crow’s Nest. The coffee on the Eurodam .. for us was not good - so we brought silicone collapsible pour-over coffee makers, filters and our own grounds from home and we would go to the Lido and make our morning coffee with hot water ourselves. A small hassle but it was worth it for us. We ate in the main dining room or MDR all 7 nights. Also an experiment and first time for us. Usually we cruise longer and dine in the Pinnacle Grill and Tamarind a few times. Our wait staff Nur and Yandi “aka Addy” were great. We do enjoy assigned dining room times as you really get to know your wait staff and they get to know you and your likes and dislikes as well. We didn’t really see a traditional Maitre’d on this sailing and we were visited nightly by the sommelier but we never knew why he always stopped by our table because we never asked for any wine advice whatsoever.. but somehow every time we would open a new bottle from our package - he must receive a text or something because he would show up whether in a bar or the restaurant. Everyone is so nice but some positions are not really necessary - our waiter knew everything we needed to know about the wines we ordered and he opened and served them to us and we ourselves topped off our glasses. As far as Alaska goes - it’s stunningly beautiful. This was our second cruise through the inside passage and although we had been to Juneau and Ketchikan on a prior trip this was our first time in Sitka a very interesting port and seeing the small but beautiful Dawes Glacier. There was an onboard educator - a very nice young man with a passion for Alaska and he walked us through the Endicott Arm with narration, history and fun facts about the glaciers and alaska wildlife and native culture. Our trip we did not see any bears or seals but we often caught a glimpse of whales. The port stop in Victoria is really just a formality to comply with international maritime law. Passengers were allowed to disembark after we cleared customs but we stayed on board. Seven days flew by and it was time to head home. Disembarkation was super easy. We tried to be the last ones off since we had scheduled an UBER at 9:45 am and we carried off our own luggage. So in the end we haven’t done all the math. Was it worth it to opt out of the drink package? We had no wi-fi either except the onboard intranet and that was fine for this trip since there was cell service in all the Alaska ports. The Eurodam is an ok ship. We’ve sailed on the Noordam, the Koningsdam and the Oosterdam 3 times (looking forward to seeing the “Evolution®” coming to her in fall of 2027). The Dutch Cafe is a nice addition. But we really miss not having BB Kings Blues Club. Only the Pinnacle Class ships have it now: The Rotterdam, Nieuw Statendam and the Koningsdam only. So our next voyage with HAL will be on one of those ships.
We went on an Alaskan cruise with HOL Eurodam in April 26. The cruise was fine, the ports were decent. We first stopped at Juneau, which was a decent port, however, it was still a little cold and you could tell they gear the ports for tourist. We then traveled through Glacier Bay and onto Icy Strait Port. ISP is nothing more than a tourist trap and they sell a lot of cheap made in China souvenirs. However, we did walk to the town of Hoonah and the Brewery there was really cool. We then moved onto Sitka, it is another town that is consumed by Tourism but fishing is their biggest economic boom. The next port was Ketchikan, which was kind of boring, besides eating some decent food and walking down Hooker lane. The last port was Victoria, this was by far the nicest stop we had, however, they only stayed for 3 hrs. I wish we could have stayed longer. The one thing that I feel HOL America can do is improve on their food and entertainment. They had a comedian, who was ok. They had a magician James Ceilen, while he was really good at magic, he was a jerk to the guest on the boat. I tried talking to him and others tried as well. He would just walk right by you, not speak to you, and if you did get to speak with him, he made sure to come across as you are a bother to him. Overall, it was a good trip.
I'm a 90-year old Adventurer who has lived with my wife aboard my own sailboat for 6 years and later cruised the French canals and rivers on our own barge for another 6 years. At this stage of my life, I'm mobility challenged and require lots of help. The Eurodam crew always provided that help, many times without my asking. I had my 21-year old granddaughter with me in a Neptune Suite (first time--last time w her we had an Oceanview cabin). The cabin was luxurious and the use of the Neptune Lounge with it's wonderful concierges added immensely to our enjoyment. The food, whether in the Lido, Dining Room. Tamerind, or Lounge was delicious and beautifully presented. A special request for more sauce or a re-heat was always honored. Sea days included bridge--instruction at 2 levels followed by a duplicate game with a great Director. Most of the entertainment in the World Stage was so-so for me but the audiences seemed to enjoy it. The String Duo was great. The Fitness Center was good but I could have used more help--staffing was very limited. My major compliant was the lack of enough grab bars in the tiny shower. HAL- YOU HAVE TO FIX THIS, IT IS CHEAP AND A NO-BRAINER! The HAL shore excursions were good to excellent and reasonably priced. Will I cruise with HAL again? I have already booked a cruise for next year.
