We are regular cruisers and have been on the Nieuw Amsterdam and the Westerdam, as well as several ships from other companies.
This was a 22 night cruise from Venice to Barcelona, and was very port intensive.
First the good things:
We were in Veranda cabin 4179, which was right at the back of the ship, a good size, clean and comfortable. Despite the position it was relatively quiet, although we did get a lot of noise and vibration from the engines when the ship was close to maximum speed. Thankfully this was very rare.
