Lovely ship, nice large stateroom with a bath and plenty of storage. Food and service top notch. Poor entertainment apart from the illusionist who was very good. Cruise director did not interact with the guests only ever saw her twice.

Lovely ship, great for walking on deck 3, one mile is 3 laps. Spotlessly clean. All food in the buffet is served to you, which prevents germs spreading. Large cabin with bath, plenty of storage for clothes.

We were on Nieuw Amsterdam in March 2018. Beautiful ship. Wonderful staff , especially cabin steward and in buffet. Always smiling and happy. Food in MDR and buffet absolutely delicious and the Dive-In best hamburgers we ever had. Also the pizza was made to order and they give you the whole pizza. Didn’t care much for the shows and nothing to do on the ship during the day but that’s what the ports are for. Besides that we loved the cruise and loved the Nieuw Amsterdam.
