Will there still be girls tomeet my age on a HollandAmerica cruise?
I just turned 18 and I feel comfortable straddling between the high school crowd and college life, but unfortunately I heard HAL cruise ships tends to have an older crowd. Don't get me wrong, old peeps are great, but I don't see myself pulling a "stiffler" (American Pie 3: the wedding, closet scene with grandma) on the cruise later this month. Let there be girls!
Naturally during the summer all cruise ships have more young adults and kids then at any other time, but Holland America definitely caters to the seniors. The good news is you will be able to get to know any girls your age real quick as they will be trying to seek out someone your age as well. On Carnival everyone seems to be looking for someone and the pickings can get mighty crowded with carnival.
How bad is the smoking on aHolland America cruise?
There are designated smoking areas, and I cannot stand being around smoke. Can you smell it all the time?
Holland America Line (HAL): Smoking is allowed in cabins, on balconies, part of some lounges and areas of open deck. On the open deck, you aren't affected by the smoking too much, as one side is for smokers and the other side is smoke free. The worst places are the lounges where smoking is allowed in certain areas and however good the air-conditioning and the ventilation, it is sometimes noticeable. It really depends on how many smokers are on board, sometimes there are very few smokers so there isn't any problem, other times I have been on a cruise and you would think they were having a smokers convention.
Alaskan Cruise - HollandAmerica Line and Zaandam?
Me and my fiance' are planning to take an Alaskan cruise tour with Holland America for our honeymoon and i was wondering if anyone had been on their ship the Zaandam and what your experience was like. If so, would you go on that ship again? or would you pick another cruise line altogether? Also, this is our first time on a cruise so if you have any tips that you can share that would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't been on this particular ship, but I have gone on a Holland America cruise before and had such a great time. I would definitely recommend this cruise line. It seemed like the majority of the people on the cruise were older (retirement age), but that didn't bother me at all. If you and your fiance are into socializing with a younger crowd, you may want to consider a different cruise line. However, I found that the older people on the cruise were friendly and were there to have a good time just like I was, so I didn't regret it at all.
Has anyone ever been onHolland America Cruise to NewEngland/Canada?
I want to know if it is a recommended cruise or not.
Though I agree that Holland America tends to have older passengers on a hole, there is a good mix. I went on an Alaskan Cruise this year with them and absolutely loved it. There was plenty to do at all times, no matter the age group. The Dance club( the crow's nest) was nice and there was a great Piano Bar on board as well. If you want to have fun, you can
