Creator's Key Takeaways

we sailed on the Holland America New Amsterdam to Alaska in May of 2019

the room could accommodate three people our room included two single beds that were converted to one queen-size bed and a couch that was converted nightly into a sofa bed for our little jelly bean

the odd shape of a New Amsterdam in the area of our room cause the balcony next to us as well as the two balconies below us to be in clear view from our balcony

the laundry service is available for a fee and self-service laundry facilities for guests were not available onboard

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use an old gift card to keep your stateroom key and wallet handy for the room lights
βœ“Be aware that the balcony may have limited privacy due to the ship's shape

We sailed on the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam to Alaska in May of 2019. Our Category V balcony stateroom -- which Holland America calls a Verandah -- was located on Deck 6 mid-ship on the port side, or left side. The room could accommodate 3 people. Our room included two single beds that were converted to one queen-sized bed and a couch that was converted nightly into a sofa bed for our little JellyBean. Balcony/Verandah: Category V; deck 6 mid-ship; port (left) side of the ship.
