An Outstanding Cruise Experience

We had an absolutely amazing, enriching and unforgettable time on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Everything was perfect; the staff with their caring attitude and always smiling faces- Riben, our cabin steward was wonderful! Megan & Meso at Photography, all the cleaners (everything was spotless, which is incredible given that 2000 passengers were onboard!) and Lido staff - how they manage to keep on smiling ...

My wife and I had scheduled a New Zealand cruise twice but the covid hoax messed it over two years in a row. As a result, we returned to Alaska for the third time. It was actually preceeded by a fantastic Tripple Denali land tour. The entire experience was great. Uniglobe Ohio Valley Travel put together the perfect vacation package. If you can, do the glacier helicopter landing. Being on ...

My group of friends and I have not been on many cruises. We heard this ship and Holland America in general was a step up from the other big name cruises, particularly for adults without accompanying children. We heard accurately. This ship is fantastic and the entire experience far exceeded our expectations in each area that was important, from the embarkation to the cruise to returning to dry ...

We just got back from our amazing 7 day Northbound Alaskan cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam. We were very pleased with the cruise. We took our trip with a group of 6. It was my wife and I, my brother and his wife, and my brother-in-law and his daughter. We are all in our 50's except my BIL's daughter. My wife and I stayed in a Verandah on deck 8. This is my wife and I's 5th overall cruise and first ...

Four of us just completed our cruise with Denali and other sites included. The logistics for this company are off the charts. Everything was so easy and the communication was exceptional. This is our 3rd cruise and by far the best. We spent a couple of days in Vancouver before and that was a wonderful city and very much enjoyed. The initial on-boarding was smooth. The departure and the ...

Safe in 70mph side winds

We are 5 star mariners and cruised on this ship 10 times in past 3 years. Went to Kodiak but when arrived sea was too rough to board the port pilot so went on to Anchorage. For 6 hours we had a 70mph side wind with difficulty walking in our Neptune Suite. Interesting experience as no rocking back and forth so no seasick passengers. Rest of cruise was normal with normal ports and good weather. ...

First a little background. We have cruised many times and sail with various mainstream cruise lines, although Holland America has come to be our favorite. We were really missing being at sea and were excited when we heard that Holland America would resume sailing in Alaska. Of course, we were also nervous about mask and test requirements and just in general nervous about getting out there ...

We live in Seattle and have always wanted to go on an Alaska cruise, but for some reason we hadn't been there yet. The easy part is that we didn't have to fly anyplace! We found everything about our experience to be wonderful. From ease of embarkation, our room (deck 6, port side, mid-ship). The meal in the Pinnacle Grill was excellent; our lasagna in Canaletto was probably the best we have ...

HAL Nieuw Amsterdam – August 2021 – Alaska Cruise Review Cabin – V Class Overview: This cruise was a seven-day out and back Alaska cruise from Seattle. Because of the temporary suspension of the PVSA (Passenger Vessel Services Act) due to Covid there was no stop in Vancouver, which we appreciated since it meant that the final night on board was not spent in a port with an empty ship but ...

This was the first HAL cruise since the start of the pandemic and everyone onboard was super excited to be there. As can be expected after a 16 month pause in operations, there were a few minor glitches but overall it was a fantastic cruise. This was our first time on HAL and we chose a Neptune Suite. It was a beautiful and functional stateroom with plenty of room to relax and a big verandah ...
