“ A new ship. Very nice ship”
Cruise Date: 11/10/2019
Destination: Caribbean
The food in the main dining room on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 3 or 4. There were very few shows in the main theater auditorium, and those that they had were not very good. There were some good lounge/bar shows. The itinerary was good. The main dining room staff and the Cabin Stewarts were very good. The food in the Buffet was about a 5 or 6. The buffet waiters were slow, maybe they were understaffed, but overall it was a good cruise.

“Great Entertainment Ship”
Cruise Date: 10/17/2019
Destination: Europe
Holland America no longer has elevator music. It has great entertainment with a BB King Lounge, Rolling Stones Lounge, dueling pianos and great shows. It was the best entertainment we have ever heard on a ship. The food was excellent and actually served hot instead of lukewarm. The rooms and the walk-in showers were exceptional. I would recommend this ship to anyone.

“We had a wonderful cruise”
Cruise Date: 10/17/2019
Destination: Transatlantic/Repositioning
The ship, Nieuw Statendam was fantastic. We really enjoyed the balcony stateroom on the stern of the ship, spectacular views and sunrises as we crossed the Atlantic ocean. Weather was ideal during the entire trip, only a couple of rainy times as we crossed the ocean. Only rough seas were on the last day south of Bermuda. The excursions were great at virtually every port. (except there were 5 cruise ships in Santorini, which made for difficulties getting down the cable car.) Food was exceptional as was the music on the ship. We even had the best Cabin Steward (he took care of Oprah's room during the Maiden Voyage of the ship!)

“Lots of noise due to door slammings, but great dinners and very good crews on board.”
Cruise Date: 01/13/2019
Destination: Caribbean
For a new ship, the Nieuw Statendam, there was surprising noisy areas on board. The dining room in the corners of this area were bad for sound bouncing off the walls causing those passengers in this area shouting to be heard across the tables. In the music playing areas for BB King and the Rock-and Roll , the sound levels were much too loud, certainly approaching over 90 dbs. The door latches in many cabins required slamming to secure the door locks. Rather strongly disturbing early in the morning and late in the evening. Overall, great dinners and excellent service from the dining room staff. Wonderful food in the Tamarind section for evening meals.
