Nieuw Amsterdam New Year's Cruise

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

My brother, sister and I (plus spouses) chose this cruise as a family get together. The ports of call seemed more interesting than some of the other 7 day Caribbean cruises and the timing/price was right for all of us. All in all it was a good choice. As we were all from different parts of Canada we arrived in Fort Lauderdale at different times one or two days before the cruise. My wife and ...

We had little time to get away, and this trip met the time restraints. We left from Ft. Lauderdale. Check in was easy and quick. We were happy to be in our room earlier than expected. We've been in veranda rooms on Holland America before, and despite the redo, it looked exactly the same in our room.Not sure if they focused on upgrades in the rooms, but the public areas were different. I am ...

My wife and I chose to celebrate our 40th by going on a cruise. We picked Holland America and was very glad we did. The experience was beyond our expectations. The comfort and service was better than most 5 star resorts. We especially enjoyed the perks of the Neptune Suite. The concierge service was great. We decided to renew our vows during the cruise and the Cruise director, Erin, and our ...

Chose cruise primarily because of departure port and dates of sailing. (Over NY Eve). Positives: 1. The signature suite! 2. Stewards very friendly--everyone always said hello. 3. Ship was redone a year ago--so spaces are nicely kept up. Very clean! 4. The EXC area and the Observation deck were VERY nice. We hung out there several times. 5. The customer service was positive and ...

From the time we boarded there was courtesy, assistance and helpfulness. Our cabin stewart was excellent and the room service for our coffee every morning between 6:30 and 7:00 was right there...we did tip the waiter that brought our coffee every morning it was someone different everyday....as well as our cabin stewerts.... we presented them with a thank you card with a tip of our personal ...

Went on this ship from Ft Lauderdale, December 27th 2017. We chose this ship because the dates fit for our family. The ship was very clean and looked very impressive. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. The staff at the excursion desk were wonderful. The food on board in the restaurant was on par with Carnival, plain, boring and cold, we expected more from a new ship that ...

Zuiderdam disappoints on an otherwise good cruise

After recently sailing on both the Westerdam and the Noordam, the Zuiderdam was a bit of a disappointment. The ship had only recently come out of dry dock, but clearly there is a LOT more updating to accomplish. While the Gallery Bar, Lido and Crow’s Nest were spiffy and polished, the ship was dated and shabby in many places, particularly our cabin (4174), as well as both the Ocean and Pinnacle ...

We choose this cruise for its itinerary and went as a large group of friends and couples. Everyone observed the ship's poor condition; filthy deck chairs, worn-out brown carpeting, rusting rails, stains on every cushion, it was just plain disgusting down to the hairs we found in our dining napkins. The Zuiderdam should be scrapped as there seems little that is salvageable. Even the pool deck ...

I have always liked Holland America. This was our seventh cruise. I feel they offer good value. The new ship is beautiful. Our cabin was lovely , but not well designed for a small suite. There was a large dressing area with a desk and a built in Murphy bed, but in the sleeping area, there was a bed and a chaise lounge. One could only view the television sitting in bed. The staff was ...

My husband and I are avid cruisers in our late 40's. This is our first trip on the Holland America line. We chose this because of the dates of travel since we wanted to go away over New Years and because the price was reasonable. We chose the 7 day voyage of is cruise. We have been to all of the ports before, except HAL's island and all were nice. We have sailed on Princess, Royal Caribbean, ...
