Holland
America Cruise Line
"A
Tradition Of Excellence"
When Carnival Cruise Line acquired Holland
America some years ago they were smart enough to
leave all the operations in the hands of Holland
America's management instead of just repainting
the ships with the Carnival logo. Holland America
has established quite different image than
Carnival, targeting completely different sort of
passengers (more mature folks) and offering more
formal and stylish cruises and service. The
majority of Holland America passengers do not
even know that the company is owned by Carnival.
On the
employees side, Holland America is paying
slightly higher salaries, but they are expecting
also a higher quality of service and crew members
party mainly between themselves (considering the
age group of majority of the passenger). Holland
America is offering also worldwide itineraries,
while Carnival is concentrated mainly on the
Caribbean market (with a few exceptions). |
