Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

We had never been on a Panama Canal cruise even after having sailed on more than 50 cruises. Our cabin was a balcony and was very nice. This cabin was smaller than some we have enjoyed but was still fine. The fact it had a tub/shower was nice. The beds were comfortable with very nice pillows. The fact there was no turndown service was disappointing. This is the first time we have encountered this, ...

We normally cruise in Jan or Feb but this date, cruise and itinerary worked for us. The ship was sailing close to 100% full. Lots of people and small kids on spring break. Youngest crowd I can ever remember for Holland America ship. Probably just the timing with spring break, it didn't effect our cruise in anyway just caught us by surprise. The ship is showing it's age but has been kept up pretty ...

I cruised on the Niew Amsterdam a week or so ago with two friends. We had a great time.
it had been about 21 years since I had cruised on the Zandaam over the New Years holiday. That cruise was fun. (In the interim, I had taken about 25 cruises or so on various lines.) One of my friends picked this one, and I was wondering what we would get on board. It was terrific.
The precruise ...

We have been on this ship once before on a land and sea trip to Alaska in 2019. We didn't get to spend much time on the ship so we thought we would do it again on the 7-day Southern Carribean. Although our itinerary was changed a few times we didn't mind because we love sea days. The weather was beautiful.
The service was outstanding. All of the servers remembered our names and treated us ...

Chose this cruise as we wanted to try Holland America and the itinerary included Bonaire where we have never been. Sadly, three days prior to the embarkation Bonaire was cancelled. We departed Port Everglades and made our way to Half Moon Cay. Unfortunately, the seas were to rough for the tenders so that stop was out. The captain said that we would be going to Aruba (not a scheduled stop) ...

We're 3-Star Mariners. Probably would've been 4-Star by now, but for Covid. This was our first cruise in 4 years, aboard one of our favourite ships, the NA. We had grown accustomed to the wonderful HAL service (great crew), fine cuisine, enjoyable entertainment, and superb efficiency.
The good: the staff - cabin stewards, dining room, buffet. un-endingly cheerful and accommodating. HAL nails ...

Delbert McClinton's Sandy Beaches Cruise XXVII....really enjoyed this ship! Boarding was a breeze, as was our debark on the last day. Our cabin was only an ocean view and on Deck 1, but OMG, it was really roomy and comfy. We usually get balconies and really don't use them, so just the window was perfect. Our cabin stewards, Putu and Tri were awesome! So friendly, efficient and took care of us all ...

First of all this was a 7 day Caribbean cruise not a 14 day cruise. My wife and I weren't planning on a HAL cruise
but couldn't pass up the price or all the perks that were offered. The ship was not filled with elderly like many think
HAL cruises are. There was a lot of seniors on board but there was also lots of middle age couples and quite a few
younger couples.
Embarkation went ...

The food was sub-par. Some examples are sandwiches with 1 piece of paper-thin meat and fish that had an ammonia taste (meaning it's old and not edible). Most, not all food tasted as if it came out of a can or box-example, coconut shrimp. At best the food was inconsistent, upcharges for steak and lobster in regular dining. little entertainment on the ship. For 16 days, 2 different comedians, ...

The Nieuw Amsterdam is definitely dated. Looks, smells, and feels like an old ship. The Pinnacle class ships are much nicer than this Signature Line ship or the even older Vista Class ships. Will never go on HAL on other than a Pinnacle Class ship.
The entertainment was horrible. Almost non-existent. There is literally nothing going on-- day or night. Main entertainment was watching a ...
