Nieuw Amsterdam: Balcony/Verandah Cabin Tour (Holland America)
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a detailed tour of a category V balcony stateroom, referred to by Holland America as a veranda, aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam. Located on deck six midship on the port side, the room is designed to accommodate up to three passengers. The sleeping arrangements consist of two single beds that convert into a queen size bed and a sofa that transforms into a bed nightly. While the sofa bed provides extra sleeping space, the creator notes it can make the desk and balcony less accessible. The room features amenities such as adjustable reading lamps, USB ports, and storage space under the bed. The veranda includes two recliner chairs with footrests and a small table. In the bathroom, guests have access to a shower and tub combination with a massaging showerhead and various toiletries. Storage is provided through three closets, which offer customizable shelving or hanging space. Additional features include a minibar, a flat screen interactive television, and a safe. The creator concludes by mentioning a specific requirement to insert a stateroom key into a wall slot to activate the lights.
