Nieuw Amsterdam Cruise Reviews - Tips

Beautiful Views! Small issues that can be fixed in seconds.

Since the cabins are relatively small, get a room with a deck so you have the feeling of a slightly bigger living space.

Be prepared for the rude Photo Staff!

We made wonderful friends, the staff is amazing, and the ship is beautiful. And of course the chance to rock at the BB King club every night!

If you have Open Seating. Request a table for 4 or 6. There are so many people aboard the ship with many interesting stories.

If you have as you wish dining make your reservations when you get to your cabin. We were traveling with another couple and we were able to reserve the same table for four at the same time for the week. We were able to get to know the waiters and wine steward and it made for a very enjoyable time.

I think that I have covered this topic already!

We had As you wish dining. We went to the main dining room about 15 minutes before or after 7 each night. Never waited in line.

Check your flight details before booking

We made table reservations as soon as we came aboard, table of six, and met some very interesting people. Dining room got noisy, sometimes hard to carry on a conversation. Pinnacle Restaurant was a wonderful experience for a special occasion. Lido breakfast made to order items served fast and good

Watch for the hidden fees and realize every use of your card to pay has a fee added and that is double tipping when charging each person in a cabin a daily fee. Go to guest services and ask for your tip fee back and give your help cash.

Be prepared for a cruise geared towards senior.

Do not take a cruise on this ship unless you are old and are not concerned about keeping active. Sit and read a book.

Definitely consider a dining experience in the Pinnacle. Food and service were outstanding!

Just relax and enjoy the cruise

Try to eat at the other restaurants onboard! The food is amazing and fun to try something different. For example, I had Peking Duck for the first time in the Tamarind. The additional charge is not that much for the quality of food you will be eating.

Don't miss the therapy pool in the spa. It was wonderful!

Pick an early or late dining.....the lines for open sitting were interminable

Ask were the hamburger and hot dogs are. Also the best french fries every.

The open seating doesn't work. If you arrive after 8:30, you may not be served.
