Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the things I was kind of shocked was on our last ship uh cabin, it had the extra long H hall America orange umbrella. Those are not on this cabin, and I requested one.

I was shocked. The room did not have a haird dryer. However, I asked for one. One was delivered very promptly.

This shower's got pretty good room in it. I'm right at the top, but it's much better than a lot of cruise ships I've been on in the past.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Request an orange umbrella if you want one, as they are not provided on Deck 1 ocean view cabins.
Ask for a hair dryer if it's not in your cabin; it will be delivered promptly.
Bring extra magnetic hooks to use on the magnetic walls for storage.
Use the clothes line from Amazon to hang a few things to dry if you plan to wash by hand.

YouTube Video Description

Wondering what an Ocean View Cabin really looks like on Holland America's Nieuw Statendam? We give you a full cabin tour of Room 1120 — plus the insider tips no one talks about before you book. Spoiler: Deck 1 ocean view cabins on the Nieuw Statendam do NOT include the signature Holland America orange umbrella or a hair dryer. We'll show you exactly what to request (and what to pack) so you're not caught off guard. This is a complete Holland America cruise cabin tour covering storage, closet space, electrical outlets, the bathroom, and the ocean view window. We also share our favorite cabin hacks — including magnetic hooks, a portable clothesline, and how to organize small spaces for a longer cruise. The Nieuw Statendam is a Pinnacle Class ship within Holland America Line — and one of the most popular ships for Alaska and Europe itineraries. Whether you're comparing an ocean view cabin vs an inside cabin (we stayed on Deck 4 in an inside cabin on the Koningsdam, an identical ship), this cruise cabin tour has everything you need to decide if the ocean view upgrade is worth it. We've traveled to over 45 countries and visited more than 70 cruise ship ports of call. As chemical engineers, we only started vlogging in June 2023, and we can't wait to share our travel experiences with you. Please subscribe to join us and don't forget to give us a like!
