Creator's Key Takeaways

today's been much much better we um we met a couple next to us at dinner they said that they sale Holland all the time and the first day apparently is always a little bit chaotic

the food is perfect they do the steaks exactly the way they should be done they're very good cuts of meat

BB Kings I think they call themselves the baby king All Stars I don't know if they cast them all separately and then they just rehearse together to be able to all play together it's a nine piece band

this is a really nice Beach guys I'm liking it so far I just wish the water was a little bit warmer but I guess it is winter

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get a tender ticket early to avoid long waits.
βœ“Ask for parmesan cheese at the New York Deli and Pizza if you want it.
βœ“Bring cash or credit card for purchases on the island, but note that drink packages do not apply.

YouTube Video Description↓

After a very bumpy embarkation day, can Holland America Nieuw Statendam redeem itself? Today is Day 2 aboard Nieuw Statendam, and we're at Half Moon Cay (Carnival Cruise Line's private island). We're going to tender ashore and see all that the island has to offer. White sands and beautiful turquoise waters are calling our names, and we're going to kick back and take it all in! Back on board, we'll try Holland's pizza and see how it stacks up to Norwegian, Celebrity, and Royal Caribbean. Later, we've got dining reservations at Pinnacle Grill (Holland's specialty steakhouse restaurant). We'll close out the evening at one of our new favorite cruise ship venues, BB King's Blues Club. Let's see if all of the hiccups from day 1 are just a thing of the past. Become a Wanderer!
