Very disappointed
"This was our first cruise in 4 years, aboard one of our favourite ships, the NA.Conclusion: makes me question whether: (a) we were just plain lucky on our first 13 HAL cruises, or (b) this is the new HAL...."Read More

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam

My extended family of 13 (4 couples, 5 teenagers) took a 7-day Caribbean Cruise from HAL Nieuw Amsterdam in early Jan.
My wife and I had just taken a 10 day cruise in December on Carnival Venezia. It’s very interesting to compare the 2 trips. HAL clientele definitely skewed older, whiter, quieter, and better behaved. NA being the smaller ship, it didn’t have as many “extracurricular” ...

First of all we booked through a travel agent and sometime between the booking and our actual cruise the itinerary changed. Our itinerary first was Half Moon Cay, sea day, St Thomas, San Juan, Turks, sea day then back. It ended up being Half Moon Cay, Turks, San Juan, St Thomas, sea day, sea day then back. I was not informed about the change so our tours were not aware of the change either. I more ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s
This was our second cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam and we would rate our experiences as average, to slightly above average. The ship and cabins are kept very well maintained and clean. In general, the crew are hard workers and pleasant. The embarkation and debarkation processes were excellent. The specialty restaurant food was good. The food in the main dining rooms and buffet is average but ...

Standing out cabin stewards nyoman and sugi were exceptional!! Rarely seen, always on top of everything! Any and all requested of them provided with a smile. Room service, on time, correct, best seen in long time! Food in mdr excellent but here is where history departs from new reality. No included lobster entree on cruise. Instead three varying additional charge items. Though our waiter and his ...

We selected this cruise based on reviews and advice from past guests. The cruise was reduced from 7 days to 5 days due to the need to repair the azipod propulsion system which took 2 days to complete thereby making the ship a floating hotel. In addition to shortening the cruise they altered the itinerary to one which was far less desirable for our group and probably everyone aboard. We had ...

This was our 10th cruise, first on HAL and first to Alaska. We are active 60+ "young adults". We traveled with my brother and his wife. Their first time on HAL and in Alaska. Trip started at Anchorage airport with bus to Westmark Hotel for a night. Would not stay there again. Think Motel 6. HAL should be ashamed to put customers up there. Next day took a bus to McKinley Resort Chalet at Denali. ...

We’re back cruising again! This cruise is fundamentally different than the dozen or so others that we’ve been on, as it’s the first one “sailing” north that we’ve been on, and by north I mean we’ll end up at Denali National Park in Alaska and not dealing with tropical heat. In fact, parts of Denali are above the Arctic Circle.
You can’t actually cruise to Denali as it’s deep in Alaska’s ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and our previous experience on the Rotterdam, last summer.
Overall, the cruise was average, with a lot of hit and misses.
The embarkation process in Vancouver was awful…hours in lines..3 times through customs, no explanations or set expectations as to how long this would take.
Weather was poor for the first week and gale force winds caused the ship ...

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 ...
