Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
This was our first cruise! Our first happy surprise is that we were upgraded from an inside cabin to a verandah. We were absolutely thrilled! We spent quite a bit of time on our covered verandah enjoying the incredible views. We are in our mid-40's and were definitely on the younger end of our cruise's population, but we didn't mind. We definitely preferred that to a bunch of partying spring ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
First, let me tell you, had been on Eurodam in March 2023 on partial transit through the Panama Canal and was disappointed in entertainment or lack of, food, and missing fresh flowers. On the December 27th 11 days in the Eastern Caribbean everything was as it should be. Fresh flowers were seen around the ship, the food was delectable, and the entertainment was good especially the comedian. The ...

I chose this cruise because it was long 21 days. I also chose HA because of the older crowd, and fewer children.
Also for the food choices which were excellent .
my cabin stewards Yan and his counter part....can't remember his name at the moment were also awesome.
I wanted to cruise over the holidays as well.
The entertainment was great.
Did not like the smoking that was allowed ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

I love to watch the show Mighty Cruise Ships on the Smithsonian channel. One of the episodes was on the Nieuw Statendam. After seeing the show I decided I wanted to sail on this ship. I was not disappointed! The food was excellent! Service was great throughout the ship. One thing I was disappointed about was that I believe because of cutbacks there were no sommeliers in the dining room. The ...

Holland America is my choice for any future cruises. Everything perfect with one exception. It was very frustrating to witness the chair hogs that was an everyday occurrence. I am an early riser, and by 6 am MANY pool deck chairs were already "reserved" by the usual method, and many of them were not used until well pass lunch time. I realize there really is not much Holland can do about that. ...

We were very excited to cruise after COVID and launching our two children off to college. We booked the cruise during their summer sale, the summer before we cruised. Our package offered a sale on the Have It All and included gratuities. We chose the Nieuw Statendam because we have always loved HAL (5/6 cruises) and we like the size of the ship and the pools. We also chose based on the ...

We had done over 20 Cruises on Princess and wanted to try Holland America for their food.
The food in the main dining room was quite good. It excelled in 2 of the speciality restaurants. Our major complaint about the cruise that could be easily corrected was that in several bar venues and the Crow’s nest, jars of peanuts were served. My wife has a severe potentially life threatening peanut ...
