Nieuw Statendam Review

Additional details
Pretty ship with wrap-around teak promenade deck where you can walk for hours. We were in a Neptune suite, so embarkation usually easier for suite guests. Neptune lounge personnel and coffee very good.
The food in the Lido and DR on HAL is average at best. We almost always ate in the Lido because the restaurant is a hassle for us (we don't tend to linger over dinner) and the food is no better. That said, the Lido can be pretty intense, almost competitive most of the time.
The aft pool was nice esp since hardly anyone used it while we were on the ship. There are only 2 hot tubs out there, so there was a lot of competition for those.
Cabin Review
Neptune Suite with Verandah
Spacious cabin, clean and quiet and comfortable. Occasional food and garlic odors came through the ventilation system. Cabin stewards very nice, as always.
