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 ...

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 ...

Nieuw Statendam Review
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
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 ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
The Nieuw Statendam just came out of dry dock, so this was an opportunity to see what a newish ship was like as well as a transatlantic; the holiday time sailing was an added bonus. The dates allowed us to spend some time in Rome before departure, so we were able to do a land cruise. Returning to FLL helped minimize flight costs.
The food was overall very good; Club Orange dining room service ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

10+ Cruises • Age 50s
I would recommend you pick a different ship and even a different cruise line completely. It is really that bad. The worse of the worst? The food. The overall food quality and selection is poor. Not what you would expect from HAL. The food is either way overcooked or undercooked. The service is slow and there are way too many mistakes. Seriously it is a cruise where you actually dread meal time. On ...

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

10+ Cruises • Age 40s
I needed to go to the US and found this transatlantic for a good price and the timing that I needed. My first Holland America cruise 6 months prior on the Rotterdam was disappointing, but I gave HA another try. This cruise was much better. The atmosphere was much more relaxed (I'm assuming this stems from management down), and the crew seemed less uptight too. There weren't constant announcements ...

My husband and I are in our 40's. This was our 5th HAL cruise, but it was our first time back with them since the pandemic. Our last HAL cruise was on the Koningsdam in the Caribbean, and we loved it! We were excited to try out her sister ship in European waters.
PRE-CRUISE
We spent 4 nights at an Airbnb near Termini in Rome. This was our 4th time in the Eternal City, so we skipped the major ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
Selected itinerary for the ports and ability to spend a few days in Rome. Embarkation was the BEST, easiest, fastest we've ever experienced. We were boarded and eating lunch in MDR a full hour before our check in time.
For a ship going into dry dock, we did experience any maintenance related issues or ration shortages. There was no visible work being done in the areas where we walked. May have ...
