I like the size of this ship. Not too big - not too small. Didn't feel like wall to wall crowds of people. Had everything you could want.

Be still my heart. How I love those dam ships - the varied entertainment, the feel, the food, the tranquity, the everything - a legitimate cruising experience. I'm too shy to speak to any of the officers, though. I scuttle past them as fast as I can, lol

I love that HA puts the days of the week carpets in the elevators.

Loved your tour of the Holland America Noordam. It is a beautiful ship and you did it proud.

It's 9 months since you made this video but thank you for showing what the Noordam looks like now. We've done four cruises on the lovely Noordam, the last being nearly five years ago (Covid and all that) and we are embarking on our next cruise on the Noordam on 10th December 2023. Very much looking forward to being on board again.

I dont know it got that reputation. I used to sail HAL in my late 20s early 30s …30 some years ago😂and loved it. I enjoyed the walking tour and yes I am one of those who could do away with the loud ‘Jams’. Just hearing the ocean and watching the wake baby…and interesting ports, my idea of cruising, thx Tony🚢😊

Tony Great tour. I sailed on the Westerdam on an Alaskan tour. Great ship loaded with art and great entertainment. Holland America is a cruise line for classy people not “old” as some believe.

Hi Tony, it seems like this cruise went really fast considering it was 12 day's long. The music that was playing as you went by the Lincoln theater sounded like something you would have at Lincoln center in NYC. It definitely looks like "Old School" cruising . Almost to fancy for me. Great tour of a beautiful ship! As always, thank you for all you do! Safe travels home.

Holland America gets a bad wrap for having an older demographic, but they are awesome especially in Alaska. The pool area works really well with the covered roof.

Thank you Tony for this detailed walking tour...what great info for those considering or planning a cruise on this ship. This is the best!!! I did note the lack of music everywhere....you can hear the sea....HAL definitely not for the party crowd...so nice to see the clear blue skies and people finding nice quiet spots to enjoy the views.Tony thanks again for a most detailed tour and clearly you have a respect for the older ships and their history.

Yep, great ship. Fond memories from last July/August. Did 14 days to Alaska on the Noordam. Great staff too!

Great video!!! I love HAL ships. The layout/design is very similar on the older ships. Once you go on on one, it’s like coming home-you don’t spend a week trying to learn a new ship. I’m so glad you are giving them coverage. I hope you are invited to more press trips for HAL. It is VERY challenging to find KZfaq videos for HAL ships. They need to show that their cruises aren’t just for grandma and grandpa anymore!!

Beautiful! Thank you for the great walking tour! We love Holland America, our line of choice, but haven't yet been on the Noordam. So sad to hear Lincoln Center Stage is going away, though.

hi Tony, I loved your tour. Thank you. I definately need to go back. I was on the Konningsdam and loved it. Also, a mix of ages. The food and service was phonominal. I can't say enough good things. I'll be back :)

I love all the outside deck areas. I'm done with roller coasters, water slides, bumper cars etc.😊 Going on my first HAL cruise in March and looking forward to more "old school" cruising.

Sailed on the Noordam to Alaska. I believe the name means north. Awesome tour! Ready for our upcoming cruise on another "dam" ship!!

Yes, Holland American ships are great. The nautical ship paintings in the stairwells are by Stephen Card. He has numerous paintings on all the HAL ships. Thank you for the walking tour on the ship. .

I’m lost already! Thanks for showing us the whole ship. Great video Tony.

This is a very good ship tour Tony. Thank you. The ship vibe is fresh indeed and it makes us think outside of our previous preference (Princess) for small / mid size ship cruising. LOVE the promenade - many new ships don’t have them.

Thanx for the tour of the Noordam. It is quite similar to Eurodam, which is the ship I sailed on. A few differences. I also thought the food was excellent. The big difference for me comparing HAL to Carnival...the food, the service and the overall cleanliness of the ship. I absolutely loved it and would 100% sail with HAL again.

Love your ship tours - thank you so much for walking us through the ship.

Heading for Hawaii today on the Koningsdam. Our second cruise on this ship, and our third HAL overall. We love this line!

I am a relatively new cruiser (5 cruises in the last year) and have only cruised on HAL - 4 of their ships so far. Goal is to cruise at least once on all of their ships. Thanks for the tour; I look forward to someday cruising on the Noordam!!

Love the flow of a Holland America ship. Been on the Zuiderdam and Nieuw Amsterdam and this tour brought back great memories! Safe travels back home!

Wow! Great tour Tony. Almost like being there, without the air fare. Thank you for the experience.

Thank you Tony for the great ship tour and all your wonderful videos from your cruise 🚢

Thanks for this! I will be on the Noordam in May to Alaska. This will be my first Holland America cruise. I've been on Carnival, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Disney and MSC and am looking forward to adding Holland America to my list.😊

Yes Tony, I would like the peacefulness of the ship, with none of that loud rock music. Thx.

Great tour. Nice to see noordam. So similar to Eurodam and we spent 28 days on it in 2018. There's comfort in knowing what is there and where it is.

Thank you for this tour! It was absolutely amazing. We started our cruising life with HAL in 2006 and absolutely loved the Noordam. It’s great to see that they are still delivering a quality experience. We switched over to RCL several years ago primarily for the loyalty program, but definitely will be cruising for destinations with HAL in the future, it was lovely to see the subdued experience again! RCL’s mega ships are fun for a time, but I think it’s time for smaller ones. Thanks, Tony!

Wow! Love your tour of this Holland America cruise ship. This is what a classic yet modern cruise is all about, a modern twist in traditional cruising. Its laid back, relaxing, and serene. It's not sensory overload as many of the maga cruise ships with pop music blasting at every turn. It's a stark contrast to today's mega ships. I love the carpet in the public spaces, especially the blue carpet with the flowers that lead to the 3 story performance venue. I love the side elevators and that there is a promenade deck. Thats something i enjoy on every cruise, getting my steps in on the promenade deck with the ocean air to breathe in and the views. I also love the music walk, lostening to lobe mjsic at night is most appealing to me. Back in the 90s the word was Hollands food was bland, but I know theire food has improved over the past 10 years. Its another reason to cruise with Holland. You've sold me on this Holland cruise ship. Thanks so much, Tony! 🎉

Watching this video was like coming home. We've done half a dozen cruises on HAL, and though we've never been on the Noordam, it's identical to a couple that we HAVE been on. Memories!

Your tour was so amazing to see for the many of us that wonder what the cruise life is like! Thank you for this detailed tour!!!!!

I with my friend Shirley just booked an Alaska 14 day collectors voyage on the Noordam for July of 2025. Shirley has been on other HAL ships but I haven’t. I have only cruised recently on Celebrity and Princess. Thanks for the tour!!

This brought back so many great memories of our past three cruises on NCL ships. Thanks for showing us what this ship looks like.

Thanks for doing the tour. I think I'm on the Noordam for a cruise out of Vancouver north to Alaska. I like the reviews I've read both about HAL and this ship. Nice and small.

Love a vista class ship. I would really enjoy this ship . Looks so calm and restful

Feel like I just completed a cruise! Thanks Tony.

Thanks so much for the ship tour!! We were on the ship in 2007 so this was an awesome trip down memory lane!

We're cruising the Noordam in May. Thanks so much for this excellent tour.

Been on the Noordam twice, and scheduled again in May. Looking forward to it! Love the "dam" ships!

Thanks. Tony, for taking the time to show us the Noordam. We probably won't ever cruise on Holland American Cruiselines, but that's OK, we just prefer Princess in the main, and maybe Celebrity Cruiselines from time to time.. Anyway, I know you are now in Sydney, so enjoy your time there, and safe trip back to Florida.

Thanks, Tony. I like Holland America, especially the old world charm. The first time I cruised with them, they still had a real library with easy chairs looking out to sea--I miss that. I'm cruising on the Noordam next month and look forward to the Rolling Stone Club, although I loved the blues music at BB King's, and will miss it. I also like hearing the classical music, and I'm sorry to learn that the Lincoln Center venue will be disappearing. Did you partake of afternoon tea? I hope that's still happening. Also, I love the interesting breakfasts from around the world available in the main restaurant (Japanese, India Indian, Swedish Pancakes). And I like the deck with the teak promenade that circles the ship.

Thanks so Much Toney! We felt as if we were there. Nice Ship!❤️

Thank you for the tour, it looks beautiful. I sailed on the former Noordam about 20 some years ago, right before it was sold, and it's nice to see the ship that replaced it. Love how it still has a full rap around promenade for strolling.

Great Job Tony. We are now excited for our upcoming cruise on Noordam on an Alaska Inland Passage Cruise!

Enjoyed the tour! By the way, the model ship, in the glass case, was that of a frigate class, square rigger, minus her masts, and yardarms. Must've gotten broken in rough seas, at some point. Thanks for the tour. :)

Great ship tour Tony Thanks 😊 👍

Thanks Tony, was excited to see your video cause we're sailing on the Noordam in September to Alaska. Looks like the Westerdam we were on last year. We're also on the Rotterdam in April of this year, so we get to compare different classes of HAL ships. Thanks again

My son and his wife are on the Noordam in New Zealand now. Because I suffer badly with motion sickness, I don't go cruising any more. I am 80 now. Watching your great video tour of the ship, I feel like I am cruising with them. Thanks heaps Tony.

Thanks for this, Tony. It's a great orientation for my upcoming sailing on the Noordam.

Thanks for the tour of Noordam. It was the first HAL ship I sailed on in 2011. Beautiful decor, great crew & service. Have sailed on Koningsdam since, then will be sailing on the Rotterdam in March. Excited to be back at sea. Happy cruising!

Thank you for this ship tour. I took the Zaandam last fall from Boston to Quebec and this ship is a bit bigger. I look forward to cruising on the Noordam. I like the mid size ships and this looks great. I really liked the food on HAL and the retractable roof is great. I had the Nathan hot dogs a few times for lunch. Yummy

This is my favorite ship. Took a cruise with mom then another with mom and dad on her. Brought back many great memories!! Thank you!!!

My mom and I watched your video last night! We both loved your video. It is amazing that people can be so rude and make comments online that you know they wouldn’t make in person. We are both sorry that you have had to deal with bullying. My mom and I were both like by the end of the video that we both wanted to be your friend. You seem like a fun person to be around! I have been on 2 Disney ships (both fit I believe around 2,000 people) and 1 Viking ship (fit 900 people idk how many crew members). I prefer ships that are bigger than the Viking ship. One night when my dad and I were onboard the Viking Mars we were going through rough waters, it was like every passenger couldn’t walk in a straight line (I couldn’t tell if employees were having a rough time). At least on that particular cruise I had to take Dramamine multiple times because I was feeling sick. On the two Disney boats, I felt fine after the first night it was like I just had to get my sea legs. I have two Holland America cruises planned-one on the Zuiderdam and the other one on the Noordam. My family has never cruised with Holland America before but hope we enjoy it because Holland America provides so many great sailings.

We love Holland America!! We sail exclusively with HAL!!

Good walk! Thanks. Been on several HA cruises but not the Noordam.

Tony this is amazing! You put a lot of work and effort into making this video for all of us to watch. I love your cruise news and views but I’m really liking these cruise ship 🚢 tour videos as well! Thank you!

I am normally a Princess cruiser but I love the look of the Nooradam. Might have to give Holland America a go. Thanks for the great ship tour. Love from Australia 🇦🇺♥️

Awesome ship and a great tour of it, Tony! Thank you!

Loved your tour of the Noordam. We board the Oosterdam (sister ship to Noordam) in 2 weeks to go to South America and Antarctica. Can’t wait. Glad to hear the food was excellent. I loved these dam ships 😊

Love you Tony, thanks for doing a walk through. Stay safe and enjoy.

HAL is my favorite cruise line. This tour brought back memories. Thanks, Tony!

Thanks for the tour, Tony. It looks like a beautiful ship!

Tony! You are funny! I took a drink as you said what you did about your breathing. Ofcourse I had to spit up all my drink.

I will be on the Koningsdam the end of January. Will be doing the 18 day cruise San Diego to Hawaii. Will be my second Holland American ship. Can’t wait. 😊

I liked the "day" carpet in the elevator when I was on the Eurodam.

Love the walk and talk format. Thanks Tony!!!!

Love your ship tours tony

Walk down memory lane. I love the size of these ships. I'm happy to hear the service & food is still excellent. The artwork is great. Happy to hear you enjoyed your time. Safe travels home.

Thanks for doing this Tony. Great walk around. I go on this ship in September to Alaska and have been wanting to get a good tour of it. Can’t wait to go. Thanks again and safe travels back home.

I love your walking tours.

Hey hey... Great look at a fun ship.... I like the layout...

Hi Tony. Thanks for that terrific tour of the ship. As they say, all good things come to an end. In spite of the weather it looks like you had a wonderful cruise. Safe travels back home. ❤️❤️

Wonderful ship tour. Felt like I was there almost. Great trip to Australia. Looking to book in 2024.

Great tour Tony, thanks heaps for that. We are booked on the Noordam for January next year and your detailed walk through has already given me my bearings. Cheers.

Looks lovely. Great tour.

Nice to hear from you again Tony... great video! Love from Canada 🇨🇦

Love the relaxed atmosphere on HAL. You're not forced to listen to bump bump music all day. Talking of history, my family did a trans Atlantic cruise from NY to South Hampton on the SS Rotterdam 1963. Remember a movie theater and fine dining. There was First class and 2nd /Econo class. Ship was split in half. Nothing like todays cruising. Have enjoyed your down under cruise, Cheers.

Great ship tour as always.

Thank you for sharing this amazing voyage these past 2 weeks! I've been watching both your and Don T's channels throughout. Wonderful coverage and hope to visit there sometime. PS - check the spelling in your title (Lane VS Line?)

Thank you for sharing your adventures!

Thank you. Excellent tour !

Thanks for this Tony. We are sailing on the Noordam next year for an Alaska cruise and this tour definitely helps.

Nice tour Tony. We cruised on Noordam for 2 weeks in September and really enjoyed our cruise on her. HAL s our favourite line and has never disappointed us.

I'm on the Noordam next summer for an Alaska land/sea trip. So excited!

Loved your ship tour so much, thanks for taking us through all the public spaces. The ship is just the right size, not so crowded.

Wow, Elemis bathroom products. So luxurious, the No. 1 luxury British brand. I love it. I use some of their products.

Thank you! Great video!

What a beautiful ship! I hope to travel on her someday. Thx so much for the tour.

Excellent video Tony…many thnx.

Even the Future Cruise Desk was in the tour. :) Thanks for the great tour Tony.

I have been on two of her sisters, Westerdam and Oosterdam as well as her name predecessor Noordam III. Lovely ships.

Tony, I watch your channel all the time. I was on the Noordam 2 years ago in Alaska and loved it. Dan Goldman

Awesome work Tony! Love the tour. The MS Noordam looks quite a nice ship - could be next on the bucket list as we live in Sydney!

Great tour, thank you for all you do

Going on noordam next fall 48 day...now I know what to expect! Thank you! Was on eurodam before...great experience...

Tony, that was a great tour; I am now exhausted!

Phenomenal video Tony!

Great video really enjoyed the tour of Noordam thank you 👍
