Overall, I love the Holland America Nieuw Statendam ship. I give it 8/10 stars.
The Nieuw Statendam ship is the second newest ship in the Holland America cruise line, the ship is super clean, the amenities are relatively modern, and the ship has the Rolling Stone Rock Room Band.

Nieuw Statendam Wheelchair Accessible Cabin Photos
I recommend always staying in a Verandah room on Holland America ships. It’s nice to have a balcony with a door that opens.
Holland America put us in a wheelchair-accessible room this time around (due to COVID), which means our room was huge!
Here is a YouTube video of our wheelchair accessible Verandah stateroom on the Holland America Nieuw Statendam ship.

Holland America Nieuw Statendam Live Shows/Entertainment
The Holland America Nieuw Statendam ship has the same shows as all the other Holland America cruise ships.
Guest Performers: Cantare
The Step One Dance Company
The Step One Dance Company shows are usually good. If you haven’t seen the shows yet, they are worth going to!
Onboard Comedian
The onboard comedians are a hit or a miss on the Holland America cruise ships.
Most recently we had the comedian Lamont Ferguson. He was funny!!!
One time we had the comedian Keith Bender. He was one of the best comedians we have seen to date!
Holland America Nieuw Statendam Ship Pool Area
The pool area on deck 9 has plenty of lounge chairs and eating areas.
You’ll also find an outdoor bar, a gelato bar, and the Dive-In with free burgers and french fries for lunch.

Holland America Nieuw Statendam Ship Cabanas
You can rent out a private cabana if you desire, but you really don’t need them on Holland America. There are enough private areas for relaxation.
Holland America Nieuw Statendam Live Music Entertainment Photos
The Nieuw Statendam ship has the traditional Holland America live entertainment options (Lincoln Center Stage with piano recitals, B.B. King’s Blues Club with jazz music, and Billboard Onboard with a dueling piano bar) in addition to the new Rolling Stone Rock Room.
Holland America Nieuw Statendam – Lincoln Center Stage
My mom and I personally never listen to the orchestra or piano recitals on the Holland America cruise ships, but people to seem to enjoy the music.
Holland America Nieuw Statendam – B.B. King’s Blues Club
B.B. King’s Blues Club is my mom and my go-to for night-time entertainment on the Holland America ships. The band is almost always really good!
Holland America Nieuw Statendam – Billboard Onboard
If you like listening to music and singing along, you’ll probably like Billboard Onboard.
Holland America Nieuw Statendam – Rolling Stone Rock Room
I personally LOVE the Rolling Stone Rock Room (Deck 2). It’s worth it to choose one of the new Holland America ships (like the Rotterdam or the Nieuw Statendam) to have this entertainment option at night!

Whisky Tasting
Pickleball Tournament
I LOVE pickleball. The Sports Court on the Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam ship has pickleball courts and basketball courts, as well as a jogging track. My mom and I also love to play pickleball with each other at night, even if it is windy and the ship is rocking!

How to Look Younger by the Greenhouse Spa
The Greenhouse Spa on the Holland America Nieuw Statendam ship hosts several daytime activities throughout the day, such as Look 10 Years Younger, Live Acupuncture Demonstration, 10 Minute Facelift, and Anti-Aging Miracles with Your Medi-Spa Physician.
Most of the daytime activities on the Nieuw Statendam hosted by The Greenhouse Spa are trying to sell you something, so we often skip them.
