Norovirus and Holland America:
2008-02-26 19:02:00 Over 100 passengers were sick at sea on the latest cruise on the Holland America Ryndam. And it isn't because of the waves, but the dreaded norovirus. News goes in cycles and it seems like two years ago, you couldn't swing a cat without hearing about the latest virus attack on a cruise ship. The news isn't as prevalent these days, but these outbreaks still happen and on a regular basis. The Ryndam herself has had four confirmed outbreaks since early 2007 of the nasty stomach bug. So why do they hit cruises so hard? There are a few reasons that these problems hit cruises, and one big way to help you avoid getting sick at sea.Norovirus and other illnesses have "epidemic" effects on cruise ships for pretty simple reasons. The biggest reason: thousands of people share the same limited space for days at a time. The sickness is probably shared just as often at restaurants, hotels and other public places. But people generally aren't together for long periods on an airplane. The longest...

Holland America Line Adds Southern Caribbean Cruises
2007-11-15 20:15:00 Holland America Line is increasing the number of southern Caribbean cruise departures to double what it currently has scheduled in 2008. Because of the popularity of its seven-day deep southern Caribbean itinerary, Holland America decided additional deep southern itineraries were necessary.

Cruises Now Have Fuel Surcharges for 2008
2007-11-08 15:39:00 Once again Carnival is leading the way, but this time its out of necessity rather than enhancing the cruise experience. The price of oil is finally affecting the cruise industry in a big way. Starting with all voyages sailing after February 1, 2008, you will now be assessed a $5 per day fuel surcharge, not to exceed $70 for the cruise per person. Carnival said that due to rapidly escalating fuel prices, their fuel costs have gone up over 140% over the last three years. In fairness to the Carnival, they will still be footing two thirds of the cost, with the supplement being used to offset the other third. You’ll have to agree, it could be a lot worse. At the gas pumps, no one is helping us with our rising fuel costs. We had a similar crunch back in the early 1990s that eventually went away. Hopefully this one will follow the same route.

Holland America's Oosterdam Reporters Review
2007-10-17 14:47:00 A reporter for the Santa Cruz Sentinel had the opportunity to get a personal tour of Holland America's Oosterdam recently. Specifically the Galley. She goes into depth what you will find on a cruise ship in the line of cleanliness and the amount of food on board in any given week. The galley tour is something every cruiser should do at least once. Most cruise ships offer the tour on each cruise. It will amaze you with how much is made from scratch on board and the amount of time and effort is put into every meal that is prepared on board. The article is a great read, and just makes me want to go on another galley tour myself.
