The fjords are alive with the sound of music?
"We didn’t use it much, to be fair (which is indicative of all the good things on the boat), but it surprisingly had F1 coverage for the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying (and no doubt the race if we stayed on board another day), a useful ship location thing, decent news channels, a nice world music channel, couple of mini videos about each port, and a whole range of immediately stream-able movies (which we never got time to use – again, good sign!The HIA also adds Wi-Fi which though doesn’t permit streaming (this was a further premium upgrade you could pay for – I think it was around $80 each for the two weeks) was reliable and pretty good in terms of speed (though also be aware, it only covered one device each which was annoying if you needed to download stuff to either a tablet or laptop – a second device can be added with the aforementioned premium upgrade), two nights in specialty restaurants covered (number is dependent on the cruise length) and $200 towards shore excursions (again, depending on cruise length)...."Read More

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Nieuw Statendam

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
We were on a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise on Holland's Nieuw Statendam from Feb. 4- 11. We loved the ship and were to have stops in Half Moon Cay (loved it), Ocho Rios, Jamaica (got cancelled due to damage of a Carnival Ship in their pier), and re routed to Montego Bay, Jamaica (didn't care for it), Grand Cayman ( got cancelled due to a severe storm that hit it before we got there), and finally ...

We are cruising with HAL for almost 10 years. And this is the first time we feel obliged to express some critique. We are in our 70s and we do expect that HAL will provide quality time for people like us . This time too many elements of good cruise were missing.
First, the usual entertainment at night, at the main stage, was extremely poor. The three shows with dancers were at high school ...

We were on a 7 night Western Caribbean cruise with scheduled stops in Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.
Embarkation was fairly fast. At Fort Lauderdale, you are put in a group of 30 people and you board when your group is called, so it was about 45 minutes to board, with no issues at all with getting to our cabin.
The ship itself is beautiful and well kept. We noticed that none of the ...

My wife and I have sailed on about 25 cruises over the past 20 years, but never on Holland America Line, so this was a new cruise for us in many ways. Overall, the 7-day cruise from Port Everglades was very good, not outstanding, and I will provide our thoughts of the pros and cons. First, we elected an obstructed view balcony cabin on the 4th floor, and the view was indeed obstructed by the ...

This was a completely full ship and had a large Church group onboard. It never felt too crowded and HAL did a good job of setting up the Church group's activities so they did not interfere with other passengers. I had one minority annoying experience with a group member being invasively friendly and proselytizing. I eventually deflected them by telling the I was "not on their team" and am Wiccan ...

First, let me tell you, had been on Eurodam in March 2023 on partial transit through the Panama Canal and was disappointed in entertainment or lack of, food, and missing fresh flowers. On the December 27th 11 days in the Eastern Caribbean everything was as it should be. Fresh flowers were seen around the ship, the food was delectable, and the entertainment was good especially the comedian. The ...

I chose this cruise because it was long 21 days. I also chose HA because of the older crowd, and fewer children.
Also for the food choices which were excellent .
my cabin stewards Yan and his counter part....can't remember his name at the moment were also awesome.
I wanted to cruise over the holidays as well.
The entertainment was great.
Did not like the smoking that was allowed ...

We chose to sail on the Nieuw Statendam because we had sailed on this ship before and enjoyed it very much. I do not know what has happened to Holland America and this ship it was totally different from when we were last on this ship and also sailing with Holland. Our last cruise with them was June 2021.
First, upon arriving at the airport we had their airport to ship transfers. The older ...

My husband and I sailed on the Nieuw Statendam December17-27, 2023.
Before the pandemic we enjoyed cruising and had just started making Holland America our preferred cruise line. We had a Canada/New England cruise planned at the beginning of the pandemic that we had to cancel (of which we lost all our money). We finally felt comfortable to start cruising again and book the above mentioned ...

This was our first cruise with Holland America, and we absolutely loved our 10-day journey in the Southern Caribbean seas! Everything worked smoothly from beginning to end. We were most impressed about the quality of service - all crew members were happy, polite, and treated us like we were on a holiday, just as it should be.
The food was amazingly fresh every day and we enjoyed the various ...
