Review summary

I will give it 6 stars in ac scale of 1-5. Much better that what we was expecting (first cruse for us). A week with 4 stops was also perfect in length. The ship, New Amsterdam was the smallest in Fort Lauderdale but for us without kids it was perfect size.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Hard to understand where to park the car, but when parked easy to get on the ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was excellent, enough with restaurants and not to long queues. A tip to Holland America could be to inform about what restaurant is included in the package and what restaurant you have to pay for.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
