From room service all the way to the kitchen staff were phenomenal. Our room was cleaned by Ketut and Ade and they came sometimes more than once a day to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and that we didn't require anything further. We went on this cruise for my wife's birthday and the stateroom staff set up our room and gave us a custom cake all free of charge. They really made this cruise memorable for us. When it comes to the restaurant Mr. Mahmut took great care of us every time we dined with them. The food was always delicious and the service was always top tier. The common areas and the Lido buffet upstairs was always well maintained and clean. The cruise ship itself gave off an aura of luxury. All around we have went on multiple cruises and this has taken our #1 spot. We will be back.
My first cruise on Holland America overall a good experience, especially considering the price! Compared to the other 4 Celebrity Cruises I have been on I prefer Celebrity. Here are some areas I thought HAL was better at: The cabins and ship layout. -- Cabins seem larger than Celebrity they are definitely better arranged. -- This is true for the layout of the ship, venues and cabin decks were more logically laid out and I found it easier to know where you are on the ship and where the venues are located. -- Half Moon Cay was great wish we would have had more time there! -- Disembarkation we were off the ship and in our car driving home within 45 of leaving our cabin, no long lines! -- I sure felt young on this cruise at 56 I was definitely below the average age! -- The informative presentations by the cruise director she was very professional and explained the ports of call, history of the cruise line and the Caribbean - without trying to sell you something! Short description of the aspects of the cruise that Celebrity is Much better at: The food, The personal service provided by the staff, Gym/exercise equipment and small size of the area. Entertainment - liked the informational presentations, but there was not a lot of pure "fun", silly entertainment - the HAL "vibe" is definitely buttoned up. On the balance will will go on another Holland America cruise...hope this helpful to other cruisers..
Our seven-day tropical Caribbean cruise on Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam was absolutely amazing! We booked two cabins, one an accessible category SA Neptune suite on the Rotterdam deck and the other a category VB standard veranda state room on the veranda deck. When we arrived at Port Everglades on Sunday, check-in was a breeze. We just went through security and used facial recognition to check in. Then, we boarded the ship and headed to our Neptune suite. It had a fantastic balcony, a comfortable bed, a cozy living area, and a great bathroom. We especially loved the Neptune’s lounge, which served breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout the day. Thanks to the two concierge staff members who helped us with everything from booking excursions to dining reservations, our trip was even better. My parents had a blast at their cabin too! They absolutely adored their shower tub combo, and they loved the huge balcony. Plus, they were thrilled to be at the front of the ship, so they could enjoy the best views outside. The food was incredible! We especially enjoyed dining at the dining room for dinner and the Pinnacle Grill for breakfast and lunch. Both were fantastic, and the servers at the Pinnacle Grill went above and beyond to make our experience truly memorable. We had no complaints about the cruise and it was wonderful to be back on this ship after a 14-day sale in Alaska. I just want to give a special thanks to the captain and crew of this beautiful ship. They did an amazing job sailing us through the Caribbean. If you haven’t been on this ship before, I highly recommend it. You won’t regret it!
