YouTube Video Description

We love to try new things... and of course new cruise ships! So we are boarding our first Holland America Line cruise on their newest ship, the Nieuw Statendam. First off, this ship is absolutely gorgeous!!! The layout is wonderful and we love the covered pool deck. We were super impressed by the spa so immediately signed up for a week pass to the thermal suite! And food... the food is fantastic starting with the burgers and hotdogs poolside... to the delicious buffet and great room service. We sailed away on the largest balcony we have ever had and left beautiful Ft. Lauderdale for a new adventure! Stay tuned for so much more to come!!!
