Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

Chose this cruise for the itinerary. Good combination of port stops and days at sea. First night started out rough in the dining room. Table for two basically on top of another table for two. Waited almost 15 minutes before the waiter acknowledged us and finally took a drink order. Waiter delivered wrong apps, wrong meal and the wrong dessert. Food on first night was ehhhh. Stay away form ...

This was our first cruise on HAL. We had always understood HAL to be a superior line for service and food, although otherwise quite low key when compared to the other popular lines. To say we were disappointed would be an understatement.
Embarkation in Ft. Lauderdale was quick and efficient with no long lines and waits. It was odd that we were informed that the boarding passes we printed at ...

As an avid cruiser with over a dozen cruises under my belt, I've sailed with a variety of cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Carnival, and NCL. My cruising adventures took place primarily between 2001 and 2012, with one additional cruise in 2016. When my children grew older and lost interest in cruising, I ventured into solo cruising and took my first solo trip with Virgin Voyages ...

We found a good deal on this 7 day Western itinerary and the following 7 day Southern itinerary, so we booked a B2B. We have sailed on 7 HAL ships but this was the first time on Nieuw Statendam.
Overall first impression was a clean ship, well maintained and modestly modern decor. Our cabin had USB ports, individual reading lights and room light switches by the beds, a nice lighted mirror and ...

This was my tenth cruise (previously on Carnival, Royal, and 5 on Princess) and my wife's first. I chose Holland, and this ship in particular due to it's size, and while onboard, I definitely noticed it was smaller than any of the Princess ships I had been on in 2008-2010 (3500 pax vs 2600 on HAL). There were more kids than normal due to the holiday (Thanksgiving), but they were not an issue at ...

This was a bucket list anniversary cruise for us, our second cruise on Holland America. We're easy and opportunistic travellers and we tend to find the fun where we can and ignore the small stuff.
We had a lot of fun on this cruise and have booked 2 more cruises since (one onboard, and one last week). We find Holland America fits our tastes well and is fantastic value. A few things stood out on ...

we decided to take a 7day Caribbean cruise from Fort Lauderdale on HAL. This would be our 11 cruise, and first on HAL. Previously we sailed on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Azamara. Since we didn't have a very good experience onour last Azamara, we thought we try something else....
We booked an inside cabin, (8102) which was well laid out, but small. Not sofa or love seat, just a very small ...

We are avid cruisers with over 50 cruises on various lines and 4 star mariners on HAL. This was a HAL cruise in name only. The ship was understaffed in all categories resulting in extremely poor service throughout ship. Most service individuals were not happy to be working to the max which is atypical of our previous HAL cruises. Food quality, availability, portion size, and service in Dining Room ...

We have been on numerous Holland America cruises, on many of their ships on all types of itineraries, including Northern Europe and the Caribbean. This past cruise was so disappointing primarily for one major problem. Yes, it was a southern Caribbean itinerary with stops on the private island, Curaçao and Aruba, with three full sea days. The weather on those sea days were nearly perfect for ...

We choose this trip specifically because it was visiting Curacao, which I had never visited. Additional stops were made in
Aruba and the private island. Our favorite activities on the ship are the casino and spa so a larger ship best met our needs.
Embarkation: We travel to Fort Lauderdale the day prior to the cruise and stay a hotels close to Port Everglades. You receive a designated ...
