This was my first cruise back on Holland America after many years of going on Princess. I wanted to try out the lovely brand new Nieuw Statendam on a pretty affordable itinerary.

Embarkation:

We arrived about 10:30 to the port. Very easy, no lines, started boarding at 11:30. Rooms were ready pretty quickly I remember hearing but we were out and about exploring. Luggage arrived by 2:00. Muster is nice now without having to bring your life jacket.

Light, very pretty and lots of storage. Great TV and turndown service. Stewards were OUTSTANDING!

Port Reviews

Half Moon Cay

The beach is lovely and the lobster rolls at the Shack were outstanding!! It was a light rain off and on unfortunately so we didn't get the FULL experience. But it was gorgeous and I would love to return.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Had a private beach day - no excursion. Super nice bus drivers, easy transportation - always a nice stop.

Cozumel

Had a private beach day. the International terminal shops are like running a gauntlet to get away from sales people and it's set up smartly like a maze so you kind of have to see it all before you can get out. Once outside though, beautiful city and lots to do.
