Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

We chose this cruise to see what Holland America has to offer versus other cruise lines. Long story short, we will never sail with HAL again. We are a retired couple in our late 60's, We had heard that HAL was for the "older" crowd and we figured we would fit right in. If you want to spend your cruise knitting or gazing at the ocean, it is a nice, clean ship. If you are looking for some music, ...

As a 4 Star Mariner with Holland we have come to expect a higher quality of cruising. On our second this year we were totally disappointed with the decline of entertainment. During happy hour there was always some form of entertainment up to and after dinner......not the last two cruises. When inquiring we were told that Holland was going in a different direction and billboard review was the ...

We choose this cruise to get our first taste of HAL, which line has longer cruises in which we have an interest. The result was mixed. Many wonderful extras in service, lovely promendade deck with relaxing deck chairs, a great music deck with duel pianos playing a variety of music, classical music site, and a fantastic rock and roll soul band at BB Kings.
3 PM tea with finger sandwhiches was a ...

Our 2nd Holland cruise out of 11 - last Holland we will take. Had only 4 out of 7 nights of live entertainment. An excellent magician/illusionist, an interpreted dance company for 2 nights, and a not very good comedian. Have one spot for live band only, BB Kings Blues Band, dueling pianos a few times a day, a classical instrumental venue, and that's it! Other than team trivia and lots of ...

This was a charter, Malt Shop Memories, my 4th one. It's a 7d cruise, you go on for the entertainment. It's very pricey, you hope to meet the stars, singers etc.
The surprise is how inaccessible The Beach Boys & Smokey were, & how good/friendly the back up bands/acts were. Brooklyn Bridge (Jimmy Rosica :D) , Zmed Brothers/Everly tribute artists (wow!), Joey Dee (yay), Chris Montez, Sounds of ...

Food was awesome. Shows were good but only 5 and one was a sorta redo with same comedians different material. They did two “Taks” to replace shows. Although the talks were interesting they should have had them for the afternoon of Sea days , where there was only two things to do . Either sit by the pool or a gamble. Very few trivia contests. No scavenger hunt, no Newlywed game. They did have two ...

We thought this would be a step up for RCL and NCL. Disappointed. It took two hours to eat in the dining room, which meant you missed two of the possible shows to see. Mainstage was not that good - dancers and comedian. Lincoln Center stage and Billboard was the only good entertainment - no dancing. BBKing was just a performer who screams a lot - no dancing music. Food was good, if you waited long ...

Sailed on a 7 night itinerary from Ft Lauderdale to Half Moon Cay, Grand Turks, Amber Cove and Key West. Had sailed on the Nieuw Amsterdam about 18 months ago and really enjoyed the cruise. However, this time some things just seemed "off" and different from the last sailing. So I am disappointed as this sailing was not what I had expected, but it was still an overall ok / good cruise and would ...
