Holland America - Nieuw Statendam Reviews

Loved the ship, could have skipped the ports, loved the food, loved my location on deck 11, big mistake on Gala night to keep diners waiting an hour and twenty minutes to be seated—

All services were wonderful. Met many great people. Cruise was not what I expected. A lot of old rude well off people. Who the ship catered to. Days at the pool: couldn't find a chair because people got them early & saved them all day. Very crowded & cramped. No activity at the pool like games trivia etc. The food at the buffet style was always crowded loud & chaotic. Food was cold once you found somewhere to sit. The sit down dinner area you had to wait a bit too long. The Italian restaurant was very good. Pinochle restaurant was a disappointment. My first & last cruise. The people who worked on the ship were amazing! Above & beyond helpful! Beautiful hard workers with wonderful stories.

Everything was wonderful. We had a great vacation and would travel again with Holland America in a heart beat.

Great news ship....younger group of customers now days...hardly no young kids......

We were cruising with a group of 13 friends so we had a great time, especially when we dined every evening with the whole group at a large table.

Best service ever. There was only one continual flaw, after dinner coffee was consistently awful in both dining room and Pinnacle Room, and it was served with milk not cream. Lido coffee was great and served with cream not milk.

The food was good but entertainment was very poor. We were very board

Always do New year cruise -this year first time Holland America. Food great - entertainment not so great but enjoyed it altogether

the personnals, the service and the food were excellents

When you can satisfy a party of 9 which included 3 teenage girls you have done a good job

From start to finish, I absolutely loved this cruise! The new ship is beautiful, and the entire staff took care of us in every way. Thank you!

AVERAGE

Cruise was very nice, food was excellent. Entertainment could have been better in main theater.

The food,The service and the personnals where exceptionnals

The staff was so attentive. I had broken my foot first day on the ship. They were so helpful with my wheelchair etc.

The cruise was great!! Our Balcony cabin was very nice with plenty of room to put clothing And toiletries. Very impressed with the size Of the shower. Our room Attendent was outstanding. We attended one show which was Good. The food menu for dinner could have been better which force us to eat at a few specialty restaurants. The Chinese and Steakhousewere fabulous.

Aside from not being able to entertain on the piano in the Ocean Bar ( I am a very proficient musician), I thought the entire experience was very nice. Great food and entertainment. Half Moon Cay was the best stop along the way. I could have stayed there the entire voyage. Good job!
