Nieuw Statendam Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We have sailed on 9 HAL cruises over the last 5 years for a total of 103 days. This new ship was very disappointing for us.
*The ship seems crowded all the time and there are lines for everything, food, ice cream, hamburger bar, pizza bar and dining room. We waited a very long time for burgers at Dive In and for a reuben sandwich at the pizza bar.
*The promenade deck was so disappointing. It is extremely narrow and sometimes its single file areas. There is no view of the sea as you walk because the lifeboats are hanging right next to the railing. We have never experienced this before.
Cabin Review
Standard Interior Stateroom
*Our cabin was inside and very small. We could hardly walk around the bed. The storage was good. The bathroom was good, nice shower.
*Our cabin stewards on Deck 4 were outstanding, excellent!
Port Reviews
St. Thomas
Such friendly happy people after enduring two major hurricanes in 2017 and still trying to recover. Be sure to stop in the SIDE STREET PUB for a bushwacker drink and meet the most friendly owners. Ask for Elsie!

Need better signage and some free umbrellas!
