Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

I chose this 21 day back-to-back cruise booking because of the Pinnacle Class ship (Nieuw Statendam) and the itinerary (ABC + Greater/Lesser Antilles)
I chose to repeat this itinerary because the islands are varied in local culture and available excursions. HAL did not disappoint, and we were blessed with great weather for the entire 3 weeks. The ship was decorated beautifully for the ...

We chose to sail on the Nieuw Statendam because we had sailed on this ship before and enjoyed it very much. I do not know what has happened to Holland America and this ship it was totally different from when we were last on this ship and also sailing with Holland. Our last cruise with them was June 2021.
First, upon arriving at the airport we had their airport to ship transfers. The older ...

My husband and I sailed on the Nieuw Statendam December17-27, 2023.
Before the pandemic we enjoyed cruising and had just started making Holland America our preferred cruise line. We had a Canada/New England cruise planned at the beginning of the pandemic that we had to cancel (of which we lost all our money). We finally felt comfortable to start cruising again and book the above mentioned ...

This was our first cruise with Holland America, and we absolutely loved our 10-day journey in the Southern Caribbean seas! Everything worked smoothly from beginning to end. We were most impressed about the quality of service - all crew members were happy, polite, and treated us like we were on a holiday, just as it should be.
The food was amazingly fresh every day and we enjoyed the various ...

We love Holland America. This cruise was to use some cruise day credits we "earned" by having Covid on our HAL South American cruise in March2023. Embarkation and debarkation in Ft. Lauderdale went very well. Seems that staff there have greatly improved. Since there were to be 4 port days out of 7 trip days, we did not do HIA, knew we didn't want all the drinks or need the intenet. We choose ...

We have near 30 cruises so far, split almost evenly across the 5 major cruise lines. Our best tops are HAL and Celebrity. This is our first cruise on the NS and our 4th cruise on HAL. We loved the sisterships Rotterdam and Koningsdam for the food, the music and the beauty of the ship. This T/A cruise on the Nieuw Statendam is no exception, though I have to admit, the Rotterdam has a little edge on ...

We have sailed on many Holland American cruises and always had a wonderful experience. We just got off a 21 day transatlantic from Fort Lauderdale to Rome. The ship was beautiful and the food amazing. The entertainment was super until we reached Barcelona at which time the band in the Ocean Bar disappeared and was never to be seen again.
On every other cruise we have taken, when there was a ...

This was an Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Niew Statendam departing Port Everglades in Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday, 3/26/23.
I was a little worried, as I had read recent reviews that Holland America cruises were not as good as they were pre-pandemic. I also read that the food was not as good.
I am happy to report that all that turned out to be false! I could not be happier with our ...

We were excited to go on this cruise. We had not been on one since 2018. We knew going on that there would be generally older people but wow, there was mostly elderly on this cruise. There are pros and cons about that. The ship was very clean. Crew was very friendly. I’ve had better cruise food but I’ve had worse to. I like the music theme of the ship. I like the variety of music, such as the ...

I chose this date and itinerary because of work/vacation date restrictions. I couldn't go any other date and wanted to try a 7 day on HAL.
The positives: The service in every area is excellent. Every single crew member was pleasant, smiling and friendly. This was the best part for us.
The ship is very pretty and very clean. Even in the Lido Buffet. I loved the hand washing stations and many ...
