Nieuw Amsterdam Review

Additional details
Before taking this cruise we did some research and decided that it was time after staying away from this cruise line for 20 years and over 20 cruises to give it a try. The bottom line is it did not deliver even to our miniscule expectations and there is really no reason to take a cruise on this line if you are under 75 and even then you might be bored to death.
A little background, we came to this cruise to relax, not expecting much, not looking for great fun, mostly good service and total relaxation. We are not picky and like simple well prepared meals, nothing super extravagant. We enjoy musicals, Broadway or Las Vegas style shows, good comedians and cruse type entertainment -- this cruise had NONE of it. I will try to put as many facts into review as I can to make it useful for people looking for factual information.
Embarkation was easy and flawless, we got dropped off by the ship at 2:30 pm, by 2:50 we were inside out balcony cabin.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom
Cabin is good size, has a couch, balcony is decent size with arm chair, chair and little round table. TV is on the wall, refrigerator with bar, few shelves, wardrobe, bathroom is equipped with hand held shower and small tub. There would be no room in this cabin for more than 2 people, but for 2 it was sufficient.
