We have cruised on all 4 classes of Holland ships. Staff is always great and ships comfortable. Our issue Zaandam class spa not comparable as expected or advertised to other 3 class ships experienced. Tiny 3 person max low quality hot tub, no massage jets, slippery access, loose plastic rim grates literally float out of place and slide sideways when stepped on ( wife fell entering tub ) NO FOLLOW-UP from management when report filed as Guest Services stated. NOT WORTH $299 pp ($598) total. Public pool and 2 hot tubs on deck were much better. Apparently many people aggressively complained and were refunded. We had been very satisfied with Holland America cruises previous to this trip.
Pros: Holland America overall is very enjoyable cruise line Zaandam spa substandard
Cons: Hydro spa is nothing more than a low quality residential hot tub--dangerous

Really enjoyed celebrating 50 years this way. Everything was easily accessed- entertainment was great- food was awesome. Employees gave excellent customer service from cleaning staff to servers to the staff running the entertainment. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway
Pros: Small ship and easy to get around- actually run into people from our land excursion so was able to chat with them again
Cons:

Found Website cumbersome and not user friendly… Internet was AWFUL Disembarking Instructions issued us Blue 3. Our flight was at 12:10. We followed the given instructions and were truly moments away from missing our flight. An obvious screwup by Holland America… NO information given on Dining Room, if it was on website I never saw it and I must have been online 15+ times before cruise
Pros: Activities, Food, Schedule, Service, Friendliness, Cleanliness
Cons: Website, Disembarking, internet

From the time we left the Ft. Lauderdale port to our return, the Grand Africa Voyage was a trip of a lifetime! Highly recommend this cruise! There were several ports we arrived into that had not seen a cruise ship in over two years--they were grateful for the return of tourism. The port stops were wonderful adventures and the HAL shore excursions were plentiful and varied to meet different interests. The onboard Zaandam singers & dancers were fabulous as were guest performers and lecturers. Jeremy Hales, Cruise & Travel Director was amazing! He did an awesome job with daily updates, port presentations, and many other events. The food in the Lido Market, main dining room, and the Pinnacle was delicious with a variety of options, and the wait staff were delightful and funny.
Pros: Excellent ports, fabulous food, guest focused staff
Cons: A couple ports were not completely ramped up after covid but they made a great effort.
