Creator's Key Takeaways

this is probably the smallest ship that we've been on and the roughest uh in an open ocean

Holland tends to perpetually under salt their food I think they do it because of their clientele

the difference between Holland America and a lot of other Cruise Lines is that there's not a whole lot going on... it's very chill

it's kind of chill kind of quiet and it's got two sides... you're not fighting for seats

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring motion sickness medication for rough seas
Request a salt shaker at dinner
Book a cabin in the middle of the ship to feel less motion
Visit the Ocean Bar for a quieter, chill atmosphere

YouTube Video Description

It’s Day 3 of our Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam group cruise, and we’re making the most of this sea day! 🛳 Corey started the morning with some friendly competition on the pickleball court, while we spent the afternoon indulging in Holland America’s signature Dutch Afternoon Tea in the Dining Room. From exploring the ship’s activities to enjoying another dinner in the Main Dining Room (with mixed results), the day ended on a high note as we discovered a unique and vibrant bar onboard. Come along as we explore all the fun (and challenges) of a sea day with Holland America! Need to book a hotel?
