We chose this cruise because we could leave after Christmas, and also enjoy New Year's Eve while on this voyage.

The Nieuw Amsterdam was recently overhauled before our cruise, and it is beautiful in all its details and appointments. There was much attention paid to little details. On Deck 11, there was a staffed kiosk for finding EXC tours and learning about them during the voyage. There was only one person manning the desk before departure, but on other days there were up to 3 people.

Our cabin was a VQ level verandah room with bath, toilet, queen bed, couch and desk. They provided a tv which carried programming as well as well as information about activities, restaurants and the ship. You could follow the voyage on a map with direction, speed and arrival times at the islands. There was also a forward cam and stern cam for watching what was happening.

Very nice! I would recommend not wrapping the sheets around the duvet as it was hard to get it comfortable for me, as I need to move my legs around at night. We had "turn down" service each night with chocolates!
