This ship was gorgeous! Clean, beautiful decor, flowers and art work made it seem like a 5 star hotel. Our cabin on deck 8 was conveniently located just one deck under the buffet and adult pool, but we didn't hear any noise . The crew was always quick to answer any requests and did it with a smile. There were two pools with the one being adults only having a more expansive open deck and the ...

First time on Holland - loved the service and the food. Traveled on RCCI and NCL past. NCL is new for us as well and we loved it. But I think NCL has now competition we want to go back on Holland. Crew so friendly and service so good. Many times they called us by name. At the buffet in the morning the lady who toasted the bagels saw me coming and put my bagel in the toaster. Asked if my ...

HAL definitely caters to more "mature" cruisers

I am currently 39 and was definitely one of the youngest people on board. I enjoy people who are older than me, but it seems that HAL really caters to the more mature clientele in the music, food, and activities. I am all for being classy and having standards, but you can do both without being stuffy or boring. The ship is beautiful, and the size of it is great. Our verandah cabin was 11002, ...

Positives: Service was excellent!! We arrived on the ship at 2pm, no lines and very smooth check in process. My husband and I loved our cabin, and our steward was exceptional. BB King's show was fabulous. The band and singers were great. Danced to great Soul and Jazz numbers each night. Comedy show had us laughing out loud. Very, very funny! Plyed to the age group in the audience. This was an ...

Love HAL. Love 3 week cruises. Would never do a cruise that comprised of 3, 1 week cruises again. Lived and learned was my choice. Love the 10 day and 11 days 3 week cruises. As usual Hal was the best for the food and the staff. We happened to get on with brand new first time staff. They were excellent. To see these kids grow in 3 weeks was amazing. kudos to HAL as always. Loved our ...

We had a great cruise. Holland was impressive with service and the ship condition. Definitely catered to an older crowd. Onboard activities were not as inclusive for a younger crowd but we still found some fun stuff to do. Cabin layout was nice. We enjoyed being able to move in the shower! Food was very good at all restaurant. The buffet was way better than on RCC. Clean and great ...

We chose this cruise for price and we have cruised Holland America a number of times and we like the product . Food was good the entertainment was good . We liked the Half Moon Cay stop , great beach day . Food was a little funky , every burger or hot dog covered in some kind of sauce . Holland America staff is still fabulous . Bar staff at the pinnacle bar , Rickey was great . Room ...

The Nieuw Amsterdam is a beautiful ship. I was impressed immediately upon boarding. Granted, I have no idea what she looked like prior to her recent dry dock, but I was generally knowledgeable of what was old and what was new. I think the new changes are wonderful. First of all, the new carpeting is perfect. The color scheme is spot-on and provides an elegant foundation in the public spaces, ...

We went on the 7 day and it was fantastic. Our cabin and stewards were great. We ate at the Pinnacle and the Tamarind and would do so again. The ship was clean, the crew were very friendly. Embarkation and disembarkation were smooth and orderly and went very quickly - other than we had to wait over an hour to get the transfer to the boat from the airport. We loved the entertainment in BB Kings ...

We have cruised on this ship twice before. We had an aft cabin on deck 4. Great to be one floor above the dining room. Enjoy looking out the back at the wake before bed. Service was excellent from the room stewards to the dining room staff. Friendly and engaged. We always book a retreat cabana which is a great place to relax - not having to hunt for a lounger . We enjoy the food and ...
