Creator's Key Takeaways
Miscommunication, confusion, and a downright dangerous situation marked our first day aboard Holland America's Nieuw Statendam cruise to the Caribbean.
We've been on multiple cruise lines now um getting through line wasn't awful but they didn't there were no signs telling you where you needed to go in order to embark on the ship so that was a little confusing.
The most dangerous part of it is Deanna has an allergy to asparagus and when we ordered our dinners... the dish comes with asparagus so Deana made it clear I am very allergic to asparagus can you substitute it.
After sway was amazing we really enjoyed ourselves during sway it was beautiful we met this really nice couple we were talking to them um entertainment we went to the Rolling Stone bar.

Miscommunication, confusion, and a downright dangerous situation marked our first day aboard Holland America's Nieuw Statendam cruise to the Caribbean. Watch as we navigate a new cruise line and all of it's embarkation day chaos, but still make the best of it all. We begin our day arriving at Ft. Lauderdale's Port Everglades to board the ship, pass through check-in and security, then make the ever-exciting walk up the gangway to Nieuw Statendam! We'll give you a tour of our interior cruise cabin and all of it's amenities. Then head up to the lido deck to watch a majestic sail away as we head to our first port of call! Watch as we navigate the complexities of upgrading our drink package. We'll dine at Grand Dutch Cafe for lunch, and encounter some serious miscommunication. Our dinner at The Main Dining Room is nearly marred by a dangerous disregard of Deanna's allergy issues. We conclude the evening with entertainment at Rolling Stone Rock Room, World Stage, and BB King's Blues Club. Become a Wanderer!
