Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Really good food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not a lot to do on Niew Amsterdam for our age group. The ships entertainment was geared to the old generation.

Photo Gallery

2 out of 5

The quality of the photos are great, BUT the price is so expensive. We wanted to get more, but just could not afford them. The part that bothered my spouse and I the most is all the waste. They print out every photo and then if not purchased they are thrown away. If you lower the cost of the photos you might have less waste.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

We had no main stage shows for most of the week. We finally got a magician/illusionist on Wed and he was amazing. The comedian that was hired was terrible. I was looking forward to the shows at night and was really disappointed that we had to wait to the end of our trip to get any entertainment.

Our cabin was great. good size and we loved the balcony. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony to enjoy our before dinner drink.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5

We did a small tour around the island. I don`t think it was worth the price we had to pay.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5

Loved St. Thomas. Will definitely be back. We did the ride on the gondola... what amazing views. I was able to get some great photos from there. We also did the Coral World Ocean Park. Nice to see, but we did not have the best guide once there.
