Nieuw Statendam Reviews

New Vessel was excellent. Not big room but efficient furniture. Many entertainments at stage were fantastic. Especially room stewards were great customer care and very kind.

I had a wonderful time it’s a very beautiful ship wonderful staff. Great shows lots of things to do I never got board. I just couldn’t sit always had to be looking around can’t wat to see y’all next Christmas.

We loved exploring this new ship. This was the first time that we had sailed Holland. We had a problem with our drink package and didn’t get it resolved till the last night.

There is not a lot of options for entertainment during the day, but the pools are beautiful, clean, and relaxing. At night, the ship comes alive with great music, friendly service, and fun for adults. The ship is higher class than Carnival but the other cruisers really loosen up at night, and the ship is a blast. I was not impressed with their food. We did the Lido buffet, room service, and the dining room. The only memorable food was the salad and salad dressing. There was limited selection on meats, vegetables, and desert. The bar drinks are great, the drink package is a great deal, and the mini bar in the room came in handy. The internet package was expensive, complicated, and slow. Sometimes it would work and other times it would not work. Customer service was helpful but it did take a couple of times to get issues addressed. It should not take multiple times to get an issue fixed for the amount of money we paid for this cruise. I would recommend Holland to my friends but warn them that the day time is not exciting and does not offer many entertainment options.

Had a good time. Can’t wait to try again. Hopefully next time we will have better weather. So disappointed that we couldn’t go to Half moon cay.

HAL is really in the process of reinventing itself. The focus is on a wide variety of musical entertainments in multiple venues, various very excellent food options, top notch smiling service, and high quality modern art in its public areas. It is the new and exciting experience to expect. If you have your heart set on dance classes, talent shows, flaming baked Alaska parades, or crew performances you will be disappointed. The Nieuw Statendam is a beautiful vessel. The dance concerts in the World Stage are breathtakingly beautiful. I look forward to see how they can top them and find even more creative and exciting ways to use the wonderful technology of the 270 degree LED backdrop!!!

This ship was beautiful! If you are looking to relax, nieuw statendam is the way to go! As mentioned in other reviews of this ship, their really is tons of activities throughout the day yet that definitely doesn’t mean this ship isn’t worth it. The staff was super friendly and always ready to assist. Entertainment was top notch. Food was amazing. And the ship was always clean. Honestly the best trip we’ve been on!

This cruise was the best one I’ve been on. I love it so much. The activities were lacked a bit. The friends I made just made it the vacation I’ve always wanted. Knowing they won’t be their for my next cruise is so sad. Beautiful ship and awesome entertainment!! Holland America is the best!! 🛳🛳🥰
