Dan Askin Posted February 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2011 HAL's nearly century-long tradition of offering regular transatlantic service ended in 1971, when the line dedicated itself to pleasure cruising. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its evolution from a traditional Atlantic crossing company, it's holding a story contest. Submit your most memorable Holland America Line transatlantic voyage ... and you could win a nine-day "Classic Crossing" for two." Find out how to enter the contest here. Additionally, Cruise Critic is running its own giveaway. Here's how it works: Post your favorite Holland America ship on this thread and you'll be automatically entered to win one of six prize packs featuring "The Art of Cruising" coffee table book, a HAL insulated lunch bag and a Cruise Critic luggage tag. Six winners (no more than one per household) will be randomly selected on March 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phamer55 Posted February 17, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2011 My favorite ship is the Voledam because it was the ship for my first cruise and I was immediately addicted to cruising thereafter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgsiii Posted February 17, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 17, 2011 My favorite is the Eurodam. The Signature Class ships are fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra4fda Posted February 17, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I am a dedicated cruiser. Working on number 18, but never on HAL, so I guess I cannot enter this contest. But think about it HAL, do you want new cruise fans, or just ones that are already your customers? So I guess I will need to look for promotions from RCCL, Celebrity, Costa, Priincess or Carnival, as I have already cruised with them. Good luck HAL cruisers on winning a HAL cruise!

mmr923 Posted February 17, 2011 #17 Share Posted February 17, 2011 First cruise, Honeymoon, booked a VH guarantee and received a VA Aft with extended balcony, and tied for first place in the "HAL superstars" competition - what's not to love?! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lissame Posted February 17, 2011 #18 Share Posted February 17, 2011 My very first cruise 24 years ago was on Holland America--the Nieuw Amsterdam at the time (not the same one as the "new" one). Great experience, have always wanted to go back on Holland America again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFW-Cruiser Posted February 17, 2011 #23 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The Oosterdam! For a first cruise it was perfect. Not to mention Hunky Dory and Smiley Agus remembered my name EVERY time they saw me, including from behind - in the middle of Ketchikan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
