Boarding HAL Nieuw Amsterdam to Caribbean
Join us as we board Holland America Line’s Nieuw Amsterdam cruise ship in March 2022 for a 7-day sailing of the Southern Caribbean. The itinerary visited Half Moon Cay (Bahamas), Curacao, and Aruba.
Delivered in 2009 and refurbished in 2017, the Nieuw Amsterdam is a cozy midsize vessel that offers a variety of activities to keep you busy while onboard. It has 11 public decks, two pools, and an entertaining Music Walk on Deck 2. The Lido Market offers a nice assortment of quality buffet fare, the Main Dining Room at times matched the food found on ultra-luxury lines, and it contains a number of bars that offer a great place to have a beer, wine, or cocktail.
So what did we think of embarkation day on our first ever Holland America sailing? Find out in this embarkation day video.
