Nieuw Amsterdam Review

Additional details
This was another good cruise...our first TA and our 15th HAL cruise. The "dry-dock" continued right up to the last day when we left the ship in Venice. It was more nuisance that inconvenience but it would have been nice if they had completed the work before selling tickets on the next cruise.
The food was good, crew friendly & helpful, and the itinerary busy once we got to the Med.
Breakfast in the Lido seemed like they were under staffed...we had to get our own drinks.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
we are "small" people so we had plenty of room. The room was well planned and we had (for a change) plenty of coat hangers.
Port Reviews
Gibraltar
We were not told before we left the ship, but found out on our own, that if you are over 65 years old you can go to the top of the rock on the elevator just by showing your pass port as proof of age.
Taormina (Messina)
we used to local "hop on hop off" but. this was there first ship and they didn't have their system perfected yet...too many people and too few seats on the bus. You didn't want to get off for fear of not being able to "hop on " the next bus.
