Why do so many military and veteran folks prefer Holland America Cruises?
Holland America has been in the cruising business for 142 years! So these folks are experts at cruising and hospitality at sea.
The Holland America fleet includes 14 ships, which sail to more than 100 countries and all seven continents. Holland America does everything from 3-day cruises to 110-day grand world voyages.
If we had to choose two words to describe Holland America, we’d have to say, “dignified and understated.” The third word would be affordable. Holland America offers better value than almost any other cruise line.
All of their ships are considered to be “spacious mid-sized”, which means, big enough to have all the bells and whistles of luxury and entertainment, but there will be fewer people, shorter lines, and it won’t take you a half hour to walk from one end of the ship to the other if you forget something in your stateroom.
If you’d like 2018 to be the year you take a 111-day voyage around the world from Fort Lauderdale, you can in this 1200-square foot luxury penthouse cabin on the Holland America ship, ms Amsterdam, for a mere $85,000 per person. But hey – your military discount from us would be about $5000, if that helps!
Don’t worry military and veteran parents: there are great kids clubs on all Holland America cruise ships!
Holland America has a high-tech kids club similar to Celebrity Cruise Lines. It is a real hit with 21st-century children. In fact, it’s so futuristic that you can do a 360-degree tour of it on Holland America’s website!
For all children between the ages of 3 and 17, their entertainment staff is available at the Club HAL and Teen Lounges every day from 9:00 am to 11:30 am, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm and from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm.
On port days the entertainment centers are available from 8 am- 4 pm and from 7 pm-10 pm.
Children’s entertainment is free and is organized into three distinct categories:
Teen:13-17 years old, Shockwave: 8-12 years old, and kids: 3-7 years old.
Note: Group babysitting is available for $5 per child per hour from 10:00 pm- 12:00 am for passengers ages 3-12 in Club HAL. Babysitting services are not offered while the ship is in port. The Teen Lounge will be open for free during this time as well.

A. All About Amenity Points for Groups on Holland America:
When you book a group of Holland America cruises, the first thing that you will get is “amenity points” that can be used to pick a group perk! Your group will have a set number of these “amenity points” to work with.
Using the points, you can get onboard credit, OR dinner at the Pinnacle Grill, OR a special cocktail party, OR extra Internet minutes, etc. The number of points that you will get will vary depending on your cruise length. 7-day cruises usually get 4 points.
These fun amenity points can be used to get onboard credit for each cabin in the group or various other gifts. NOTE: Whatever you select then applies to all cabins in the group.
Here are many of the gifts that you will have to choose from:
- Pinnacle Grill Dinner per guest
- Pinnacle Grill Lunch per guest

Whatever you do, don’t show this list to every member of your group, and ask them which they would prefer!!
Because everyone in the group has to have the same amenity point benefit – they won’t all get their preference if they prefer different things. A leader of the group has to choose for everyone! Please…take our advice on this.
….There is one additional option! In lieu of these points, your group could choose a ‘special package’!
Here is a list of all of the group special packages: Family Reunion Package, Wine and Cooking Demo Package, Winemaker’s Package, Wedding Package, Vegas at Sea Package, Destination Discovery Package, or the Wellness and Fitness Package. You can read more about each of these packages below.
B. The Tour Conductor Credit(s) applied to Holland America Group Cruises
Plus, each group will get one tour conductor credit per 8 cabins.
This Tour Conductor credit can be used to give 1 passenger a FREE cruise fare!
The military and veterans groups will receive one tour conductor credit per 16 people. The tour conductor credit is a credit that can be used as a FREE cruise rate for one passenger.
(Note the passenger will still have to pay taxes and port charges.)
The tour conductor credit amount is the average per person cruise rate for the group based on all of the double occupancy cabins. This means that it would be wise not to apply it to the most expensive cabin in your group- as it won’t cover a person’s full cruise rate in that case.
