Nieuw Amsterdam Review

Additional details
Just back from the Eastern Caribbean on Nieuw Amsterdam.
This was our 4th HAL cruise and it is the most beautiful of their ships we've been on. Wonderful public areas. The entertainment was the very best we've seen on any cruise ship - truly excellent - even one I did not think would good like the comedian, who was in fact terrific!!
The service was in general good, tho they seemed to always got bogged down with the open seating which is odd as the dining room was half empty most nights. I think of lot people didn't want to bother with a sit down meal and just went to the Lido buffet, especially on formal nights. So how come service was slow and inept in the main dining room anyway?
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom

Smallish cabin, located near the back of the ship and we could feel and hear a bit of the engine in heavy seas but quiet enough on gentle days,and I am very noise sensitive. Good balcony. Could hear the "ping" of the elevator sometimes.
