Nieuw Amsterdam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

A very nice cruise. The ship was lovely and the food terrific.

Prior to cruise, had underestimated what great ports of call we were going to. But the cities as they are today are AWESOME & beautiful. And we felt safe the whole time ( mom & 2 teen kids). All people we met on land & cruise were wonderful, polite & accommodating. Virtually everything on ship was great & we were always entertained or enjoying relaxation. We were not prepared - for how surprisingly enjoyable this cruise would be. Highly recommend it!

Wonderful cruise. We met so many nice people and the staff was awesome! I can't wait to book another cruise!

We had an amazing time!!! THANK YOU!!!!................................................................................................................................................................................................................

If you want to feel like you are trapped watching a week long comericial this is the cruise for you. They even walked through the dining room trying to sell us stuff while we ate.

We had a great time and would definitely recommend this cruise and ship.

We had always wanted to cruise the canal and that alone make this an amazing cruise.

The cruise focused on the passage of the Panama Canal. This was great. The ship provided movies to explain the history of the original and the upgrade. The staff and crew were fantastic as was the food and dining arrangements. A bit of a long cruise at 14 days but great weather made for an enjoyable experience.

This is a smaller ship, but was of excellent quality. Overall great cruise. If there was a weakness, it was the entertainment and the shore excursions, most of which seemed to be riding in bus. Not much choice for excursions, but we were able to walk right off the ship and explore each port. We had a good time doing that and there was plenty of time in each port. I would definitely recommend this cruise and Holland America line.

Overall the cruise was wonderful! The staff was OUTSTANDING! We took the cruise for our honeymoon and was made very comfortable. We enjoyed meeting many people and loved seeing the different ports. Take the cruise you will not regret it!

Nice ship but food and service were lacking. Not much going on in the evenings. Scheduling dancing at 11:30pm for a ship-load of old people is ridiculous. Most other ships we’ve been on had dance music every evening after dinner. Even shopping was dull.

Holland Cruise Lines makes cruising easy. Everything I needed was taken care of swiftly. Already planning my next one on Holland.

I fit the age demographic for the ship (late 60s), but not a fan.

This was a pleasant if unexciting winter break. Holland America provides good food, great support for mobility impaired guests. The naturalist's presentations were a welcome break from a misguided emphasis on shopping. Ports have limited interest beyond water sports and great rum drinks. Accessible cabins were very well designed and comfortable. Evening shows were limited.

I would have given this cruise a 3.5 not 4.0. The entertainment really needs some work. I know it may cater to an older group but there should be more to do. Some pool activities and more shows in the main room would have been nice.

I was told that this line was mostly used by older white people. I was surprised that there was a mix of ages, races, and cultures to interact with. I was very comfortable.

Nice itinerary if and when you reach all ports. Unfortunately ship had above average motion while at sea

We enjoyed sailing with Holland America. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The dining was wonderful and the activities on board were varied and plentiful. There was no shortage of things to do or eat or see.

Excellent service and beautiful ship! So glad we were on it, especially for the holidays
