Review summary

The best part of our recent cruise to Alaska on the Nieuw Amsterdam was the ship and shore excursions.  Both were top notch.  The food was mediocre.  The entertainment was worse.  The staff were like robots.  If Nieuw Amsterdam is to compete effectively in the Alaska market, all three aspects that need improvement will have to improve.

Marydyer - Every vacation is what you make it to be! We were on the same ship last September and had a great time (even when things weren't perfect) 🙂
