Review summary

So yesterday I boarded the beautiful Nieuw Amsterdam in the port of St. Thomas, I was only onboard for a couple of hours. But in those hours I was fully immersed in what the Holland America Line is all about. First my friend and I were given visitor passes and waited for our friend who works onboard to come down to meet us. He has worked on many of the different ships so he was able to give us a private tour of the whole ship. My favorite spot was Exploration Central which is at the very front of the ship with many electronic device tables where they have interactive maps along with information about the captain and his job. I found that this was very relaxing and informative. I realized that the ship has gorgeous decor like the New York skyline which is the atrium chandelier. Although I did not get to view any entertainment I did get to try out the lido “buffet” and let me just say... this might be my favorite lido onboard any other line, this was my fourth cruise line. There food was so delicious. I look forward to booking the Nieuw Stantendam very soon.

Sounds great, we have only been on the Oosterdam and it’s one of their older ones I think.

I just cruised with Holland America on this ship. My husband and I loved it! We booked another cruise with Holland America.

I've sailed HAL 5 times & the entertainment compared to other ships is horrible. :( Every year it seems to get worse. Im trying Carnival next month because I have kids. Too bad because I really liked HAL.
