This destination and cruise line exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Organized, speedy and friendly staff directed us thorough the embarkation maze so fast we were breathless.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We experienced all restaurants and were pleased with all of them. Even the buffet had a wide selection of good food.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Keep in mind this was not a Carnival cruise, so there were no rock walls, ziplines or water slides. But this ship had countless activities and entertainment to experience and we were kept very busy. All activities were top notch.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We went to all stage shows and lounge acts and liked all of them. And the other passengers seemed to enjoy the entertainment, too.
Children's Programs
There were very few children on board. Yay!!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
From room stewards to waiters to bartenders and other staff, they all are well trained to spoil guests. Very efficient and pleasant attitudes.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was spotless in every public and private area. Staff was constantly cleaning.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Clean, well kept, spacious. We even joked that the room had too many closets!
We also loved Nieuw Amsterdam. Everything was top notch, staff was very friendly and willing to help anyway they could to make sure you had a great time. It was our first cruise and it totally spoiled us. I love HAL. Can't wait to sail again with them in Feb.
Nieuw Amsterdam is wonderful. The staff in the buffet were always smiling and always asking if we needed anything. Our cabin steward always greeted us by name when he saw us and asked how our day was at the different ports. The food in the buffet and main dining room always delicious, and don't forget about the Dive-In. Best hamburgers ever. We loved Nieuw Amsterdam
