Sail Date: Dec 2018
Cabin: Large Outside Stateroom (partial sea views)

The Nieuw Amsterdam looked like she was recently refurbished. The carpeting and upholstery looked fresh. The public areas were very clean. The crew was phenomenal in terms of service. The food in the main dining room was varied and tasty.

Holland America provided numerous shore excursions for purchase. We chose the Jamaica City Tour, the Jolley Trolley in Georgetown, and the Chocolate Tour in Cozumel. All of these tours were interesting and suitable for senior citizens. There were many more action and snorkeling tours available in the ports.

The entertainment was varied and amusing. The magician and comic were funny and the song and dance productions were excellent and professional.

Cabin Review

Large Outside Stateroom (partial sea views)

Cabin G

The cabin was spacious. The category is misleading. I would not describe it as a partial view. The view was of a cable reel for lowering and raising the lifeboats. It was difficult to see around the cable reel. However, the cabin had a full window that brought in the sunlight.
