If you are 74 years or older, stop reading now. This cruise line is perfect for you.
I just returned from a cruise on Holland America's Eurodam. I have been on a few cruises, but never with HAL prior to this. I have never seen so many old people in my life. When I say old, I don't mean 50s, 60s, or even low 70s. I'm talking upper 70s and up.
Why does this matter? It matters because the entire ship shuts down at 9 pm. There is very little evening entertainment and absolutely no night time entertainment.
Ok, that's one thing. How about the rest of the day? Forget it. These people are not sweet, little old ladies and gentlemen. These people are the grumpiest, most demanding and self entitled people on the planet. 2000 80-90 year olds on one ship is a recipe for disaster. All they do is whine and complain and talk about how much better HAL is than all the world's other cruise lines. Yea, ok. If boring is better, it's all theirs.
If you are under 75 and considering HAL, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Then again, if you are in your 60s and want to feel young, go for it.

Carnival or even the Disney cruise lines might be more to your liking.

A great cruise line

We have been on two Holland America cruises and they were wonderful experiences. OF course, we are in our 60's and I would agree that young party people should go on another line (please).
The staff was very pleasant and easy to work with. There were many options for food from a cafeteria with awesome choices to formal dining rooms.
We are completely satisfied.

Where's The Ripoff?
AUTHOR: Karl - (U.S.A.)

I'm sure glad you wrote your ROR. Holland America sounds really great. You mean that you don;t have stupid non stop announcements, crappy loud quasi Las Vegas reviews, huge casinos, worthless "Art" auctions constantly being touted and nickle and time crap nostop for a week. I haven't been on a cruise since 1973 for the aforementioned reasons. Back then the cruises were on transatlantic liners like the ROTTERDAM and QE2. The service staff spoke english, umderstood requests, and there were plenty of places to get away from crowds.
Looking forward to another Holland America cruise now that I know what they are like. Thanks again!
