Additional details
This was our fourth Hal and first Neuiw Amsterdam cruise. We take the same cruise each winter at this time on HAL (our favorite mid priced line) and once again had to deal with winter weather and changing air reservations to get to Ft Lauderdale on time.
The ship had its normal crowd of 50+ year olds (younger than usual); all having a great time
The NA is best of the four HALs that we have been on. We had reserved an SZ superior verandah and were upgraded to a Delux veranda suite -- a fabulous and spacious well-appointed suite located on deck 7 amidships (Cabin7049). Great room opposite the Neptune Lounge -- talk about convenient. The cabin had many closets, a dressing area, big bathroom, huge deck, and our travel mates were next door and we joined our verandahs giving us 40' of space. As it was a new ship everything was in great shape and we liked the colors, design and appointments.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Verandah Suite
This was very roomy and well appointed cabin with a large verandah and we were amidships - opposite the Nautilus Lounge. Tons of storage. We had excellent service. Other than a noisy family next door, very quiet. The bed and linens were of superior quality
