Amazing time!
Great food in all places
Great service all around
Ports, we love the Aqua Trax at Halfmoon Cay. We appreciated the clean up and move of clam shells down the beach.
Grand Turks- Margaritaville stay- their is a beach at Port. John Glenn exhibit to the right is cool then a smaller beach behind it.
Amber Cove - did a bus City tour. Tour guy Homberto was great. Stopped ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
As we were on our first cruise ever we chose the Niew Amsterdam because it is a mid-size ship. We spent a wonderful week. Embarkment and disembarkment went very smoothly and rapidly as a wheelchair was required for one of us. Easy process. No line!
Once onboard, we were directed to Lido Market for lunch.
PROS:
Cabin, excellent food, very diversified more so very fresh, many specialty ...

We took the two week cruise offered, which started December 30. We were at the start of this cruise a 3 star Mariner. We have always liked Holland America, and this has been our 11th cruise on this brand. That said, I have to say we have noticed small but important changes which because we are in a suite they are not that important, but if you do not have the perks of the suite, then you may have ...

On a cruise in January 2024 on the Nieuw Amsterdam. The ship was clean and our room stewards, Hendra & Eva, were attentive and kept our room clean and organized. While not top-notch, the food was pretty good. The chiefs were out and about making sure the serving staff was hoping and taking care of the guests.
The itinerary was good and we did excursions in Turks and at Half Moon Cay, ...

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

We had never been on a Panama Canal cruise even after having sailed on more than 50 cruises. Our cabin was a balcony and was very nice. This cabin was smaller than some we have enjoyed but was still fine. The fact it had a tub/shower was nice. The beds were comfortable with very nice pillows. The fact there was no turndown service was disappointing. This is the first time we have encountered this, ...

We selected this cruise because of the ports offered and the price point. We enjoyed our excursion on Grand Turk which involved a tour of the island, lunch and conch fritter making as well as a stop at Governor's Beach with chairs and umbrellas included as well. It was almost like being on a private beach! Our St.Thomas Tour was lackluster at best. Maegan's Beach was CROWDED and you had to rent ...

Chose this cruise as we wanted to try Holland America and the itinerary included Bonaire where we have never been. Sadly, three days prior to the embarkation Bonaire was cancelled. We departed Port Everglades and made our way to Half Moon Cay. Unfortunately, the seas were to rough for the tenders so that stop was out. The captain said that we would be going to Aruba (not a scheduled stop) ...

This was our second cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam. The first was the last week of February 2020, the week before Covid shut down cruising. We enjoyed the ship and crew the first time around and decided to try her again. This was the southern Carribean trip to HMC, Aruba and Curacao. Love HMC and it had been a few years since we visited the other two ports. This cruise includes three sea days which ...

We did a back to back on the Nieuw Amsterdam using covid future cruise credits. We took the offer to upgrade to a sky suite & it was well worth it. Except for the internet... Slow, unreliable & a headache..
Room attendant, Meals, bar-staff & ship were excellent!
Because were were on the 2nd week we didn't have to go thru the cattle call embarkation with no room to sit the week ...

We're past HA Cruisers. We have 15+ cruises that we've enjoyed. Everything was really good about his cruise except 3 things.
1. The boarding process was a cattle car. 1500 or so people stuck in a terminal in Ft. Lauderdale with room for 800 to sit. And it took forever to get all the groups aboard.
2. The internet speed.
3. The internet being down far too often.
This is 2023, not 1999. ...
