Evening dress falls into three distinct categories. Each night a daily
program will be delivered to your stateroom announcing the suggested dress for
the following evening. Comfortable, relaxed clothing is fine for evenings
designated as casual; however, T-shirts, jeans, swimsuits, tank tops and shorts
are not allowed in the dining room, Lido restaurant, or public areas during the
evening hours. During informal nights, dresses or pantsuits for women and
jackets (tie optional) for men are standard.
On festive formal evenings, women usually wear cocktail dresses or gowns and men usually wear business suits or tuxedos. There are approximately two formal nights per week. (Gentlemen: Although business suits or tuxedos are suggested attire for formal evenings, they are certainly not required. You are welcome to wear a jacket and tie on formal nights.) Formalwear for ladies and gentlemen can be pre-ordered for your use for the duration of your cruise.
In order to complement your fellow guests, Holland America asks that you observe the suggested dress code throughout the entire evening.
Age Restrictions
Guests under 21 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or
chaperone who is at least 25 years old; one adult chaperone is required for
every five people under the age of 21. Alcoholic beverages will not be served to
guests under age 21. Due to limited medical facilities on the ships, Holland
America will not accept reservations for infants 12 weeks or younger.
Minors under age 18 traveling to certain foreign countries must be accompanied by both parents or have a notarized letter of consent signed by the parent(s) not traveling. If the other parent is deceased or the child has only one legal parent, a notarized statement must be obtained as proof. Your travel agent can provide additional information about this requirement.
Parents, guardians and chaperones are responsible for overseeing the conduct of minors in their care. As such, minors may not be left unsupervised on board the ship.

Parents, guardians and chaperones are responsible for overseeing the conduct of minors in their care. As such, minors may not be left unsupervised on board the ship.
PLEASE NOTE: In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures at entry and exit points. These often include requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for the child's travel from the parent(s) or legal guardian if not present. Having such documentation on hand, even if not required, may facilitate entry or departure.
Tipping
HOTEL SERVICE CHARGE
Our crew works very hard to make sure that every aspect of your cruise meets the highest standards. This includes those crew members who serve you directly, such as HAL's dining room wait staff and the stewards who tend to your stateroom each day. There are also many others that tend to your care that you may never meet, such as galley and laundry staff. To ensure that the efforts of all of HAL's crew members are recognized and rewarded, a daily Hotel Service Charge of US$11 per passenger is automatically charged to each guest's shipboard account. If HAL's service exceeds or fails to meet your expectations, you are free to adjust this amount at the end of the cruise. The Hotel Service Charge is paid entirely to Holland America Line crew members, and represents an important part of their total compensation package. A 15 percent service charge is automatically added to bar charges and dining room wine purchases. In terminals, airports, ports of call and on shore excursions, HAL suggests that you extend gratuities consistent with customary local practices.
