Thank you ! I just booked a first time solo cruise in November on koningsdam. I got a veranda room+club orange+have it all package for $1100 I think that was really good deal. This video helps me a lot
Thanks for the video, much appreciated. By the way, can I assume priority boarding for tenders also extend to going back to the ship? Meaning, you can skip the normal line at the pier and be boarded on the next available tender boat back to the ship.
Very good video, thank you for posting. I'm going on the Koningsdam soon so I was very interested! I didn't see you mention the cabin upgrade, but maybe I missed it?
yes I briefly mentioned it near the beginning, but you're right, Club Orange members do have an upgrade to the best possible stateroom within the same category
Thanks for watching! Hope you get to enjoy the Club soon

Loved the Koningsdsm. Had a Neptune Aft Suite in April 2024 and truly enjoyed the view. We liked her so much, we canceled another Alaska trip to sail on her to Hawaii in Jan 2025. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Holland America definitely offers some of the best cuisine at sea! Their plating is fantastic as is their willingness to make the guest feel welcomed and appreciated! Are there other perks such as upgraded staterooms at booking or in room amenities not offered with Club Orange? Any private lounges or discounted/free drinks?
You're absolutely right about the plating, they have such a way of delivering fine dining! For upgraded stateroom they can upgrade you in the highest category of your tier(such as the multiple categories of interior cabins, if you booked a standard they can upgrade you within the tiers of the interior cabins) for free as part of the Club Orange package. For private lounges on this ship we saw there was a private lounge for the Neptune suites though not accessible for Club Orange. A private lounge we did experience is when they set up one of the meeting rooms as a private waiting area for the priority tendor access where you waited in comfort with many chairs available, no crowds, non-alcoholic beverages and small snacks like cookies until a staff member came to inform you that your priority access to a tender was available. If you have cruised with Holland America or any sister company such as Carnival before, you would have at minimum 1 star mariner status and can get 2 free beverage vouchers(any 2 alcoholic drinks up to $11) though I don't know if this is specific to Club Orange or rather the mariner status. Complimentary mimosas with fresh squeezed orange juice were offered at breakfast either in the Club Orange dining room or at room service. Other than that no other discounted or free drinks specific to Club Orange.
Great question! We stayed in an inside stateroom for our trip but there's limited number of spots available so you have to book early to secure your Club Orange status!
Thanks so much for your reply, just wondering the club orange restaurant is it complimentary dining as well! Your answers will be highly appreciated! 😍👍
Thanks for explaining so clearly! I really enjoy HAL and will consider for my next cruise.

I’ve thought about club orange, but I love the MDR.
And I don’t like the ambience in Club Orange.
Do you need to be balcony cabin guests or even just an inside cabin guests still allows to join club orange ?
