Nieuw Statendam Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Cruise was amazing the only downfall was the jewelry stores pressuring you to buy something after they said to come in hassle free but other than that an excellent cruise

HAL caters more toasts retirees or older couples with disposable incomes.

Liked the Nieuw Statendam but preferred Princess and Celebrity. Service was lacking in dining areas. Food fabulous. Entertainment very good. Loved the “History of Holland America Lines”.

The cruise line was excellent , the service and food was prime. The world stage shows were not that great. The music at night was excellent! No music during the day unless Classical performances.

Great holiday for us this year. Less stress less hassle

Excellent ship! Newer. Modern. Great staff. New ports for us to visit!

Overall a wonderful cruise, the weather was warm and sunny throughout, the ship was extraordinary and always had a smile on my face!

They cruise was good, shows were okay, food was okay, destinations were great! Very low key, not much to do onboard and nothing lively around the pool area. Strange picks for family night movies at night....didn't stay for them.

Fantastic ship. The entertainment, food and service was the best ever

Great food and service. Brand new ship. Looking forward to next cruise!!

Nice cruise, broken promises. $100 credit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a fabulous Cruise. I can’t wait to go back.

Loved it so much booked 2020 Alaska cruise right on board!!

Enjoyed my experience very much but found certain highlights missing from my previous experience. Entertainment in main show room lacking, fresh flowers few, missed the wide promenade walk wrap around deck where you could sit outside and enjoy the view. I also found the artwork was very modern which is not my personal favorite.

Over all, we enjoyed our cruise. Beautiful ship. Nice staff. Food was good. Strongly disliked the Lido Market buffet arrangement. Loved the Music Walk. World Stage entertainment was disappointing.

When in San Juan the Carnival Breeze was docked next to our ship.While returning back to ship on the Carnival side they were playing Caribbean music and dancing on the dock with the ship dancers on the Nieuw Statendam side they were handing out cold towels.Which side would you rather be on?

Nieuw Statendam is a great addition to the HAL fleet while still keep the traditions afloat along with a new modern twist. Sister to Koningsdam, an amazing class of ship!

Very nice ship. Loved the art all over the ship also. Enjoyed the rock room band.

Ports were very exciting some more beautiful then others. Ship needs better shows.

Have a wonderful vacation but too many days at sea makes the trip a little bit boring with limited entertainment. But overall have a great experience and made some friends on the ship
