Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
We thought this would be a step up for RCL and NCL. Disappointed. It took two hours to eat in the dining room, which meant you missed two of the possible shows to see. Mainstage was not that good - dancers and comedian. Lincoln Center stage and Billboard was the only good entertainment - no dancing. BBKing was just a performer who screams a lot - no dancing music. Food was good, if you waited long ...

I chose this cruise because of an awesome presentation by the travel agent. We were told this going to be a real Alaskan adventure and experience, instead we were on a ship full of Vietnamese people and forced to choose from mostly asian food choices. I didnt pay $9,000.00 for an asian vacation to Alaska. The food lines ran out of popular food choices and we had to choose from some sort of mystery ...

We recently completed our annual summer inside passage cruise to Alaska (this was our 36th Alaska cruise), and 21st Alaska sailing with HAL.
This year we sailed on the Nieuw Amsterdam, VQ Spa Veranda on deck 10 - the views from up top on the Panorama deck balcony are spectacular! - otherwise the Spa category isn't worth the higher price as it includes nothing else but 3 bottles of ...

Holland America's cruise from Skagway to Vancouver was wonderful. That is, if you were healthy enough to enjoy it.
Once we were done with the aggressive land travel portion, their bus delivered us and many others to the ship coughing, sneezing, congested and worn out. Long land transports were ideal pathogen breeding grounds, and HAL was invisible with any contagion prevention. RCL does a much ...

1. The title says it all! Nothing for the younger crowd. This caters to the 50 plus group.
2. Service was excellent!
3. They cram liquor down your throat! I understand that's where the money is but wow!
4. Excursions. Ehh....ok. I did better with a guy in a van! And MUCH CHEAPER!
5. The ship was super clean!
6. Entertainment....not for me on this ship. And everyone goes to bed at 9! ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
As frequent travellers, we are used to backpacking, expeditions, and vacations in 1 to 5 stars resorts, all inclusive or not, on all continents, but we never travelled with a large cruises ship.
Yes, we had preconceptions about cruises, on their misuse of obsolete maritime transport laws to create tax free tourist resorts. Or their bypass of immigration laws and hiring cheap labour from around ...

I just read covemanb 12/18 review and it was right on target. My wife and I took three Celebrity cruises last winter and this one was by far the worst. The entertainment was poor. No bands during the day at the pool, no music at the pool , and no place to sit at the pool since they only have 125 lounge chairs and around 3000 passengers. Night entertainment was BB King and strings every night. ...

WORST Internet of the high seas!!! In this day & age of technology, I find this absolutely unacceptable! I tried paying for their "PREMIUM" internet and it was so atrocious. It's embarrassing that they even dare to charge for the "service". I've been on Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Crystal & Disney all in the last few years & none of their internet has been this pathetic. Seriously, ...

The crew didn't seem to care about going the 'extra mile' to help. There seems to be a morale issue with most of the crew.
Food was average at best, somehow they managed to make all their pork dishes dry and tough, even the ones that were only cooked to medium were dry.
The menus were pretentious and they weren't very appealing. We're foodies and yet it was hard to find desirable choices on ...

We chose this ship specifically because of its BB King’s Blue Club. We’d been on another Holland America ship where the same club was the best part of the voyage. But no—this club barely played any blues at all. Imagine ordering steak at a restaurant and being served a hot dog. “But this is what we call a steak.” OK, HAL, you want to play to a different market, fine. But don’t advertise as ...
