Review summary

Older ship but good itinerary. I was looking forward to Sweet Potato fries at the Dive In and was disappointed when told they did not do them ... only regular fries available. Because I am a four star Mariner and complained they made them available to me but when friends requested them they were told there were none to be had.

We were on Nieuw Amsterdam last March and they only had regular fries. Didn't know about sweet potato fries. Best burgers I ever had. All the food everywhere was fabulous. Great ship. Loved it. Staff always smiling and friendly.
