Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s
We booked this cruise through a tour website thinking, by December, we would be in better shape regarding covid. This is not the case but we proceeded to take the cruise anyway. HAL handled boarding really well. Boarding was scheduled so no crowding. We were on board in less than 10 minutes and our luggage wasn’t far behind. There was plenty of storage, a roomy shower/bath combination and the ...

Understanding this is during Covid, glad we were able to make the trip, but Holland failed on many levels.
On the plus side, ship was only half full. This meant little waiting, but also led to a low energy level. The crowd was much older than any cruise I had been on, including previous Holland cruise. There was one, exactly ONE, child on the ship.
The itinerary had been changed, ...

Honeymoon cruise to the Panama Canal looking for the Aruba, Curacao island experience as well as the history and engineering of the old Canal. Pretty quick embarkation with our specific times assigned, cursory glance at Vax card along with passport. Immediate trip to lunch in Lido and sunny sail out of port with two other ships trailing us.
First stop in Bahamas for a beach day after the ...

I have sailed with HAL for the past sixteen years. Do realize thing change and not for better but this was dreadful! Service & provisions are bare minimum. HAL cut out a lot of things, small & large, that used to make it to stand out of all large cruise lines. Smell of cigarette smoke from the casino spread out through the ship. YUK! Cabin was barely cleaned: dust all around, dirty drapes, poorly ...

I hadn't been on a cruise since April 2017 because of my husband's poor health for several years ending with his death in 2020. Then COVID stopped all cruising for awhile. So I was eager to return. I picked HAL (our "2nd" line after Princess) because their ships are smaller and I thought that would be easier for my first solo cruise plus I had a "Casino Offer". It was an 8-day cruise to "get ...

First Cruise Since Pandemic
Pre-Hotel And Embarkation:
Because we've taken many cruises and are getting old, we had our travel agent book everything through HAL; air, hotel and cruise. It's just become easier for us than doing everything separate ourselves. HAL makes the decisions and if something goes wrong it's not my fault. Pre-cruise we were booked in the Sheraton Hotel And Marina in ...

Love crossings. But, hate masks. Also, many cabin issues (toilet overflowed, shower flooded bathroom, water from shower saturated carpet outside door, etc). Were given $200 room credit but on next to last day and had to spend onboard.
Crew, as always, was amazing. Of everyone I encountered, only one clerk in the shops could stand a better attitude. EVERYONE else was helpful. Lido personnel ...

This was our third cruise, and first on a Holland Ship. It was awesome...from the weather, entertainment (you must book a Malt Shop if you are in that age group), the crew, and the food. The buffet and regular dining could not have been better. In addition we ate at the Pinnacle Grill and Canaletto Restaurants, which in my opinion were a bit disappointing. A special shout out to the crew...always ...

The passengers on this cruise seemed to fall into two broad categories: people who were using credits from cruises cancelled during Covid and people who just aren't willing to fly. I fell into the first category. I enjoy just being on the ocean, sailing somewhere, anywhere. What's there not to like? The people in the second category did not expand on the reasons why they spent 2 weeks making a ...

This is a tough review to write because on one hand, getting back out on the water and cruising was the most welcome respite from an otherwise awful 18ish months of hell due to the pandemic, but on the other hand, there were a number of hiccups and overall issues that prevented this from being the experience that we'd hoped for.
1) Experience on board/Embarkation process:
Embarkation was a ...
