This is our third cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam and our 7th on Holland America. We got a balcony spa stateroom on Deck 10, which is our favorite location. We decided not to go to the formal nights, as we wanted total relaxation and that is what we got! We always order room service for breakfast and it was served hot and on time. The buffet was great!
A good selection of food. We had been on a Princess cruise that served leftovers from the dining room, and it was not appealing.
The "On Tour" entertainment show was fine, and we watched the NCAA playoffs on our room TV. We also played some movies in our room. The pool was inviting and high tea was enjoyable, as always. We attended the champagne luncheon for past guests and got our collectible tiles.
Our cabin was fantastic! The location was on the Panorama deck (10) and our balcony looked out over the aqua sea. We had been in a spa stateroom on the Eurodam. This is by far our favorite. The service by our steward Gdday was impeccable.
