Review summary

our trip was so emotional as it was our "bucket list" the embarkation was really fast and the staff were so caring...our room was the CLEANEST that I have ever been on! our staff member that did our room everyday was exceptional the food at the specialty dining was rather good also...disembarkation was exceptional also....as I have 2 fractures in my back this routine that you have is one of the best..... I certainly will sail with Holland America and have told as many people that I have contact with the same.....thank you for helping our experience one that we will never forget...

We loved Nieuw Amsterdam as well. A truly beautiful classy ship. Loved every moment on there.

We were on the Nieuw Amsterdam last March. Was one of the best cruises ever. Staff was fantastic, especially in the buffet. Always smiling and so friendly. Our cabin steward always called us by name everytime he saw us and asked how our day went at the ports. He was wonderful. No need for any specialty restaurants as the buffet and Main Dining Room had the most delicious food. And don't forget about the Dive-In, best hamburgers ever. I can't say enough about the ship,cruise, staff and food. Five stars all the way.
