Review summary
There are fewer staff than on prior cruises and it shows in the service level. Entertainment was great. Since we had been to the destinations before we did not do any excursions. Food was good but the obvious recycling of the prior nights entrees and desserts at the Lido was not very good. We do not come on cruises to eat leftovers although I applaud them for not being wasteful- maybe the crew could enjoy it on day 2Ship experiences

Pros: ship was beautiful and clean
Cons: when the ship did not sell out quickly, Holland lowered the price and did an email blitz to sell the extra rooms. The price we paid would get us an entire category higher at the sale prices but Holland would not upgrade us
Recommends Nieuw Amsterdam? Yes!
