We just booked a cruise abord the Westerdam for the spring. We only hear positive things about Holland America so we decided to try it. It is a new ship, so we are hoping for excellence. In the past, we cruised with Princess and NCL. So far, Princess was the best.

Hi; Just got back from the 10 day baltic cruise 8-29-05 and cant say enough about it. the Westerdam is a large ship and it is great. That was my 5th cruise on HAL and am going to take my kids on the same trip next year but it will be on another HAL ship I beleive. It was my 12th cruise and it was either the best or close to it, you wont regret it. Russia was fantastic, take the Catherines palace tour. Have a great trip

We will be on the Westerdam on October 22, 2005 for a 15 night transatlantic cruise.
