Hmm didn't see a dress code anywhere for the Club Orange dining area. But again it was the first night. He had dress pants for the specialty restaurants, that wasn't the issue. It was the way it was handled. But no biggie. Had an amazing time.

Hi all, Here is our review on the Nieuw Statendam 9-7-22 to 9-17-22 Canada/New England cruise. Hubby and I are in our early 40’s, been cruising solely with Holland America for the past 10 years. (Except did one Carnival cruise for three days and we said never again after witnessing a passenger peeing in the hallway in front of our room, yep we laugh about it now). Pre-Cruise: We flew from North Carolina to Montreal the day before (9/6) as I had an “amazing” idea to rent a car from the Montreal airport and drive to Quebec City. Everything went smoothly until the rental car, dun dun dun dun… Got a great price under $100 from Alamo as I am a frequent renter thru Alamo. Went to the counter and they didn’t have anymore cars. What? That’s like Dunkin Donuts being out of donuts. But they said they would seek assistance from other rental agencies to get us a car. Waited about 90 minutes and got a car. This put us behind schedule as we didn’t get on the road until close to 4PM. What was supposed to be a 2-hour and 45 min drive took 4 hours. Montreal traffic is a beast. My goodness what a mess that was. My husband is a quiet man but the grunts coming out of him told a different story, his frustration was at ludicrous level. Hungry, tired butt syndrome, and slow driving will put anyone in a mood, and we were no exception. Now I hope you don’t roll your eyes at us being “ignorant Americans” but when we stopped for food, we had hoped we’d encounter someone who spoke a smidge of English... So, with Google Translate we attempted to order two burgers from McDonald’s and butchered the beautiful French language with our attempt. After we drove off and looked in the bag, we instead had a filet-o-fish and some chicken tenders. Well, that was a complete failure. Traffic significantly reduced one out of Montreal and it was a nice drive after. The grunts subsided from my husband as he ate the filet-o-fish and I munched on chicken tenders. Pre-Cruise Hotel: We arrived at Hotel Cofortel in Quebec City for a one-night stay. Not much to look at on the outside but room was lovely with very comfortable bed. Super quiet and no issues. Hotel had great reviews on-line and was very affordable. Super close to airport and food. Would stay there again. I am going to be real with you all, the real reason I wanted a car was not to see any sights in Montreal or Quebec but rather to stop at a grocery store and load up on snacks for the cruise. Yep, I am one of those people. Cruise food is great and all, but I need some cheeze-its, sour patch kids, chocolate bars, pistachios, fruit snacks etc. Carbs and processed food in small doses fill the cracks of our heart. We were pleasantly surprised that there was a Wal-Mart near the hotel, and we were able to find all the necessary unhealthy food we require. No issues with not speaking French as we did self-checkout. We then dropped the rental car off at the Quebec airport. We could see the joy on peoples faces as we dropped it off in the completely empty rental car section for Alamo. Something told me they were out of rental cars as well. Would have been interesting to see which family would win the fight over the only remaining rental car left but alas it was time to board the shuttle to the cruise port. You will see a theme here of me being an idiot and thinking we are prepared but we weren’t. I had called HAL to book the pre-cruise shuttle to the cruise port from Quebec airport. They knew we were flying into Montreal and driving and said we could still take the shuttle. Well, you can’t. Or at least we couldn’t. We realized once you walked into the Quebec airport that the people with the Holland America signs were in the baggage claim area and not outside. There was no way we could get to that area because of security etc. We asked and were told no. Oh well, plan B. We tried ordering an Uber but it was going to take 33 minutes. Nope. Plan C, we then walked over to the taxi line and were whisked away quickly. Arrived at 300 Rue de L’Estuaire and dropped off around 12:20PM. Embarking: We had priority boarding as we paid for Club Orange, but it was not needed as there was no wait. (more on Club Orange not being worth it for us, later). Walked and walked and walked and got to the “Covid” line. One line of people who hadn’t gotten tested previously, and those who had which basically meant you had Verifly. Cannot stress how important Verifly is to have completely done before arriving. If you want to be stuck in a line similar to what I imagine Purgatory is like then spend a few minutes and complete the Verifly. We immediately went thru security and off to checking in. Showed the Arrivecan receipt and our Verifly again and as before was moved to a no wait section to immediately check in… While those who didn’t have Verifly or Arrivecan stood in utter despair and sadness in a line that stretched for some time. As usual checking in provides comic relief as apparently I look incredibly different from the prior cruise I was on less than a month ago and it wouldn’t accept my current appearance. After contorting my face to a smile that would frighten small children, some finagling was done, and my new horror picture was accepted. My husband who stands over 6’3 had his head cut off in the photo and basically had to get on his knees to get his picture taken. His infamous grunts reappeared but didn’t last long. Finally, we start walking to get on the ship but of course past the “picture takers”, I get it, you have a job to do. But all I want is a Midori Sour, some stir fry from the Lido and to feel the fresh air while sitting in a chair near the Sea View bar. The “picture takers” and I will have a constant battle throughout the cruise as they become determined to take our picture, but we won that battle. We know what we look like, we don’t need a reminder of what the above newly purchased bags of carbs and processed food does to you. Thanks, but no thanks. Ship: I previously cruised on the Koningsdam for an Alaskan cruise in August 2022. That ship was great, but the NS was fantastic. Even though they are basically identical, the vibe, service, food was phenomenal. And we can easily say this was the best cruise we’ve ever been on and a huge part of that is because of the ship. The ship was clean and beautiful. Classic and simple. We didn’t notice any issues on the ship that needed updates. We often saw areas being cleaned, power washed, painted etc. Loved the eclectic pictures and statues on the ship. Every floor had unique artwork that was different. Smokers: My hubby is a smoker. I am an enabler. If you want to meet amazing people, go to the smoking section. It’s a small section near the Sea View Bar on deck 9. I don’t smoke, but I often sat with my husband, and we made great friends with the other passengers there. The bar servers, specifically Hedrick and Oscar were fantastic. They went above and beyond on this cruise and their service was impeccable. Room: I will admit we usually stay in Neptune Suites. Only because we purchase a verandah and always get upgrade offers to Neptune. Always. In the 10 years of cruising with Holland America, every cruise we got an offer. But this cruise we wanted to try something different. Hubby and I tried an interior room for the first time. I can hear the gasps and see the wincing of your faces. Calm down, it’s ok. We knew it was going to be small. Very small. But we wanted to see if this cruise we could spend less on the room so we could spend more on other things. This was the first cruise we didn’t get an offer for an upgrade, and I am glad we didn’t. We stayed in cabin 5071. Midship but closer to the Forward elevators. We were nestled in between other interior rooms and never heard a peep out of our neighbors. You could sometimes hear people in the hallways and behind the wall of our room as that is where the secret passageways are for the stewards. But never heard anything at night. Yes, I call them secret passageways because as an adult my imagination has only gotten better and more vivid, and I imagine a quite spectacular land of happiness and unicorns with people braiding each other’s hair and singing Kumbaya behind those walls. We were usually in bed my 10 -11PM. We might be younger than the average cruiser on HAL, but we like our sleep and are early morning risers. Only a couple times could I feel the movement of the ship. I am prone to motion sickness, and I brought all the med’s you can imagine but didn’t have to take anything. Midship is key in my opinion. There were only about 8-10 channels on the TV. But lots of movies to watch, mostly movies from a few years ago or older. We probably stay in the room more than the average bear. We like our naps. The overall size of the room was bigger than we thought it’d be. Lots of storage, no couch but we really enjoyed the room. The small fridge stayed cold. We had our stewards clean out the mini bar so we could put my waters and hubbies red bulls. Bathroom is small. We aren’t small. We have extra padding and then some, but we worked out a system to make it work for us when it came time to showering, changing etc. So, it wasn’t an issue for us. We would stay in an interior room again, in a heartbeat. Our room stewards Made and Sum were great and their attention to detail was spot on. I am sure HAL doesn’t like the idea of a previous Neptune Suite passenger being converted to an interior room passenger but the amount of money we saved and will save on additional cruises has tipped the scale over to interior rooms. Activities/Entertainment: Opinions vary on this subject. Much debate has been made on what HAL does great and does not. Hubby and I like being ON the ship. We often don’t get off the ship when we port somewhere. Since we like being on the ship, we do wish there was more going on. Now, we aren’t party people. But during the day not much going on. But we get it, most people are off this ship on port days. We love trivia and are constantly reminded how dumb we are when playing. But every lightening trivia, general knowledge trivia and music trivia we were there. Our only gripe is the music trivia, would it be a crime to have some 90’s music in the mix? That music was 30 years ago. I know we are slightly younger than the average age but throw us a bone. I had done Coloring For Adults and Origami on another cruise and hubby wasn’t interested. We wish there were more options. The music row is great at night. Some bands and singers better than others but wonderful night life. Wish there was Karaoke, or some classes on sewing, card playing etc. The library was small, but the daily crossword puzzle was my morning routine and again showed me how I’m not as smart as I thought I was. We aren’t gym people or spa people. I have had one massage my entire life and it was on a Holland America cruise a few years back. I couldn’t stop laughing from being tickled and acted like a five-year-old. Never again. We also aren’t pool people as that requires a swimsuit and possible turning into one of those robe people (not that there is anything wrong with that) and I’m saving humanity by not showcasing my non-swimsuit ready body. We did watch several performances on the Lincoln Stage that had classical music and the talented young musicians were amazing. Beautiful and well done. Highly recommend. Casino: I could have put this under activities/entertainment, but it needs a section on its own. We are casino people. Hubby plays Craps and between you and I, he plays like crap hahaha. I am a slot person. We were there every evening, and the casino was loads of fun. Great atmosphere, busy, people smiling and laughing, winning, and losing. The casino is run by Jovan and Jem and they run it very well. All the casino staff were excellent, great service. Especially Sandra. She showed me the ropes on several machines I never played and was so engaging and fun. Great customer service and overall wonderful human. Hubby said all the Craps staff was awesome. We were disappointed that there was no poker. Looks like HAL really is going away from that. Bartenders and servers were all wonderful and drinks were great. The Casino folks also run the ever-popular Bingo. Bingo is my favorite. But on this cruise, it was the highlight, only because I won a free cruise. Yep, you read that correctly. It was the Bingo raffle so not a Bingo game. They butchered my name but that’s ok, you can call me whatever you want if you’re going to give me a free cruise. I was ecstatic and my grunt filled husband cracked an elusive smile. He was pleased. Have a year to schedule it. 7-day Caribbean or Mexico cruise. Food: By far the food was the best on this cruise. We ate at Pinnacle Grill and the steak was cooked perfectly. We do miss the cheesecake they used to have. Canaletto was good, love the chicken parmigiana. We did order off the menu a regular salad since I am allergic to beets. Appreciate them being accommodating. Tamarind beef was cooked great. Our server was so sweet. We never ate in the regular dining room and you’ll read below in the Club Orange section what we thought of that. Dive In was awesome as usual. Loved the hot dogs, burgers, and grilled chicken. Don’t get me started on those fries. Yum. We had Gelato once and it was decent. We had subs and pizza at the NY Deli & Pizza place. My husband really liked it, I thought it was ok. Most of the food I ate was in the Lido, specifically the Stir Fry area, fried rice with chicken or beef. I ate that religiously sometimes twice a day. So good. Loved the big salads in the Lido. Breakfast in the Lido was fine as I am a raisin bran person but sadly not every day was it available. The pretzel rolls and the white chocolate macadamia cookies was also a favorite of mine. Yum Yum. We didn’t do any room service. But all in all, the food was fantastic Shops: We stopped by the shops a couple times. One to see the snack section, which is like the Koningsdam snack section, almost non-existent. Very small selection so I am glad we loaded up with snacks before getting on the ship. Hubby did purchase one carton of cigarettes and mentioned it was a great price. Outside of that no other purchases in the shops. I am not a jewelry or make up person, so I didn’t make a stop in those shops. Have-It-All Package: We went ahead and purchased the HIA at a significantly reduced price that was hard to pass up. We don’t drink wine but hubby is a scotch drinker and I prefer a Midori Sour. Yes, I realize that is a very unsophisticated drink and I’m stuck in the “OMG I’m a sophomore in college” drinking stage but it’s literally the only alcoholic drink I can stomach, and I love it. Cristane at the Lido bar was the only one who made it the way I liked, and he was fantastic. Loved the easiness of handing card over and not having to sign for the drink or get receipts to track. I knew I wasn’t going anywhere near why 15 drinks a day limit, so I had nothing to track. They did run out of the cans of water by the second day or least that is what I was told, and they started giving me the large glass bottle. No extra charge on those. They fit in the fridge in the room FYI. The wi-fi was fine the first 6-7 days of the cruise, but the last three days it hardly worked. The shore excursion credit wasn’t of great value to us because majority of excursions were sold out. The free Pinnacle and Tamarind was good value. The real winner of this package was the drink package. We’ve decided it was worth it to us and have added it to our next cruise in November. Ports: Like I mentioned above, we often don’t get off the ship when we port somewhere. Only if the port truly interests us. We booked the cruise within 60 days of the cruise date so basically all excursions were already sold out. We were put on some wait lists but outside of one, no spots opened. On this cruise since we had an overnight in Quebec City, we walked to Mary’s Popcorn Shop to get some caramel popcorn. It was worth the 20-minute walk uphill. Despite the hubbies’ grunts. But outside of that we didn’t do anything else in Quebec City. The next stop was Baie-Comeau, Quebec. We stayed onboard. The next stop was Havre-Saint-Pierre, Quebec. Again, we stayed on board. I can hear your moaning and groaning. I know, I know. Like I said we prefer being on the ship. I am sure we missed many, many amazing sites, but we REALLY like being on the ship. The next stop was Corner Brook, Newfoundland, you might be thinking “let me guess, you stayed on the ship”, well you’d be incorrect. I jumped at the chance to see Newfoundland. Although I constantly say it wrong, and it drives by grunt filled hubby up the wall. We did a nice bus tour all around Corner Brook. It was worth getting off the ship. Sadly, due to Hurricane Earl the next two stops in Newfoundland were scrapped. That’s ok cause that just means we need to cruise this itinerary again and surprise, surprise, get off the ship for St. Anthony and St. Johns. So, since those stops were changed, we stopped in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. You will be happy to know we did get off and walked around, enjoyed some food. I love PEI. Beautiful place. Next stop was Sydney, Nova Scotia. Well, I would have preferred Halifax but oh well. We did not get off the ship. Then Bar Harbor, Maine. The winds were crazy high this stop, and the tender process was stopped early so we didn’t get a chance to get off the ship. But we both had been there previously so not a total disappointment. Then we stopped in Portland, Maine. We did do an excursion and saw the lovely Portland. What a beautiful town. Then lastly, we ended the cruise in Boston. We’ve both been to Boston many times so there was no sightseeing, only airport. If you were looking for tons of detail on each stop, sadly this part of the review is disappointing. We are ship people. Club Orange: Was it worth it or not? The perk of priority embarking wasn’t needed. We were on the ship within 20 minutes of being dropped off at the cruise port. Priority disembarking also wasn’t needed because we had to self-disembark. We didn’t get an upgrade to our interior room; I’m assuming since we were already midship maybe that is why? We stayed in 5071. Another perk is upgraded bathrobes. Well, we didn’t take them out of the package. We aren’t bath robe people. I am 5’2 on a good day and those things are huge and I always feel like I need a crown and scepter to complete the look. Also, we saw more than enough people in the Lido wearing robes and not much if anything at all underneath them. Trust me, I wasn’t looking to see anything, but if something plops out, it’s like a car wreck, you are required as a human to look fast and then look away. We got a Club Orange tote bag which promptly stayed in a cabinet, and we forgot about it. Priority tendering was also a perk but the one day we tendered we had an excursion, so it wasn’t needed as we went with a large group. 24-hour concierge that we never utilized. And lastly, the Club Orange dining room. I will preface this: we had never done Club Orange previously. The first night September 7 we decided to do dinner there. Again, first night, never done this before. Husband is wearing nice khaki shorts and a collared shirt. Well, he was “short-shamed”. I should have been prepared and known that there was a dress code. I felt awful because he can take things personally like that. After the “dressing down” they still allowed us to eat there. Thanks. But now we know there is a dress code. Well, that was the first and last time we ate there. Hubby only brought one pair of nice dress pants for the specialty dinner places and didn’t want to wear them for every dinner in the Club Orange. He likes to be comfortable which I get. The dinner was ok, but nothing amazing. Our server was great. I think the embarrassment from the dress code issue soured the dinner for him and he asked if it was ok if we didn’t go back. I was fine with that. But we did notice several short wearers when we walked by from time to time, and we chuckled about it. So, what did we learn? Club Orange isn’t for us. The cost about 25 a day per person per day doesn’t make sense for how we cruise and the perks you receive. I am sure it is fantastic for many, but the way we cruise it wasn’t worth it. Disembarking: We were nervous as our flight was at 11AM which mean it would board around 10:30AM. We usually take afternoon flights, but this was the cheaper option. We had previously booked a post cruise shuttle to the airport with HAL, and they had all our flight information but mid cruise we got a call from guest services that they would need to cancel the shuttle as they couldn’t guarantee we’d make it on time and suggested we self-disembark. Well, we knew we had priority disembark thru the Club Orange perks, but the perk of priority disembarking also wasn’t needed. We did some reconnaissance work super early on Saturday September 17th and saw a line forming around 7AM on deck 2 midship for the self-disembarks. We got in about 20 people deep and ship started letting people off at 7:30AM. We had heard horror stories about getting a taxi or Uber outside the Boston cruise port, but we found a ton of taxis waiting and there was no wait for one. Again, whisked away to an airport and got to the airport within 10-15 min. Flight was on time and security took about 20 min. Flew back to NC heavier but happier from a fantastic cruise. Overall: It was spectacular, and we cannot wait to cruise on Holland America again. What we love about cruising is relaxation and the ship. We learned that interior rooms can be your friend and not to fear it. We learned Club Orange isn’t for us. The HIA package is totally worth it if you can get it on a reduced price. The casino is so much fun and we will continue to be casino people until they ban us. People can really win the Free Cruise bingo raffle, woohooo. Time to plan our next cruise adventure…

Did this on Zaandam and it was very small. Compared to the thermal suites on the larger HAL ships, in my opinion it wasn't worth it.

Was worried about our 11 am flight today but no issues at all. Disembarked from the NS Holland America cruise today in Boston. Was off the ship at 730am. Walked over to Taxi line and a ton of taxis waiting, so no wait. Got to airport in 10 minutes. Waiting for our flight to board at 10:40am. I did notice a line starting on deck 2 midship with people around 7am and it was those of us needing to self disembark with all our luggage. Glad I got in line as at that point was about twenty deep and filled up significantly after 7am. But no issues to report today. Wonderful cruise.

Is there a delta sky priority security line at the Boston airport? We also have an early flight at 11am this Saturday. Concerned if we will make it. We will be self disembarking and walking off with our luggage from a Holland america cruise.

Yes I took Walgreens NAAT on a Sunday afternoon for a Wednesday cruise that sailed out of Canada last week. Got results in a few hours and VeriFLY accepted it.

I took a rapid NAAT from Walgreens on Sunday in the US for my Wednesday Canada cruise. Had no problems getting VeriFLY to accept it.

Thanks for the information. I wanted to report back based on my original question a few posts above, that I did the drive thru Walgreen Rapid NAAT test today 9/4/2022 for our cruise embarking on 9/7/2022. I got the results in a few hours and thankfully it was negative. I loaded the results into Verifly today and it was accepted. So, my concern that a Rapid NAAT might not be accepted at three days vs. the two days, apparently is unfounded since it was accepted at three days.

I was on the Koningsdam first week of August and I was able to serve myself in the Neptune Lounge.

Ok. So, would it fall under the 2 days or 3 days side of testing?

Boarding NS on Wednesday in Quebec. Flying to Canada on Tuesday... I've always taken the Rapid NAAT from Walgreens two days before boarding a ship, but with labor day on Monday, can't find an appointment. I was under the impression the Rapid NAAT is a form of a PCR and could then fall under the 72 hour window... But not positive. Will I be good if I take the Rapid NAAT test Sunday afternoon for a Wednesday embarkation?

I was under the impression the Rapid NAAT is a form of a PCR and can go by the 72 hours... But not positive. Will I still be good if I take the Rapid NAAT test Sunday afternoon for a Wednesday embarkation?

Had the same issue with a Walgreens NAAT about a month ago and resubmitted it four times and it finally got approved on the fourth try. No idea what the issue was but I lost hair from it lol.

Thanks for this info, can you or anyone explain the process? So you meet with the Future Cruise Person on the ship and how much is the deposit that you put down? Is there a max deposits you can have? The OBC you get depends on the length of the cruise and room type? Is the OBC better than what you get for the Welcome Back email promo? I think that is around 25 OBC per person for an interior on a 7 day...

Looking forward to reading this we will be on the Quebec to Boston 10 day portion of this cruise.

I had inquired about upgrading the HIA signature beverage package to Elite when I called yesterday and was told it cannot be done over the phone and must be done when you're on the ship. I'm not sure if that is accurate but guess we will find out next week once we board what the cost difference is to upgrade to the Elite.

Thanks for the info. So to make sure my brain is understanding this 🙂 I should wait to book these cruises until I am on board next week because I will get the HIA and the Mariner Early Booking Bonus as well as additional OBC based on length of cruise and cabin choice?

Hi all, We are cruising in about a week on the NS for 10 days. Some questions for this fine cruise community: *The Have It All package includes the Shore Excursion credit, well what if all the shore excursions are sold out? And nothing becomes available on wait list? (We booked very last minute) Do we lose the shore excursion credit, or does that get converted to OBC? *Similar to the above, the two dinners we receive as part of the Have It All package... well we already booked a Pinnacle Grill, Canaletto and Tamarind before looking to upgrade. Will we get a credit back for two of those dinners since we already paid? Is that something I will need to get with guest services on once we are on the ship? *Doesn't appear you can use a gift card online to upgrade to the Have It All package, so I assume I will need to call the 800# to add and then I should be able to use the gift card? *I have several cruises on courtesy hold for next year and 2024. The hold will expire in four days. I wasn't sure if it's a benefit to book those cruises on board or does it not matter? I know we can get the "Welcome Back" OBC after our cruise but wasn't sure if you get any perks if you book on board? Currently the three cruises on hold will include the "Have It All" and "Mariner Early Booking Bonus" perks. But not sure when those perks go away... Debating if I put the deposit down now before our cruise in a week or wait till we are on the cruise to book. Thoughts? *We will be in an interior room midship 5th floor on the NS. Never stayed on a Holland America interior room. Only two of us and we know it will be small but main concern is motion sickness. We've only cruised mid ship but prior always had at least a balcony. I'm assuming we should be fine motion sickness wise since we are still mid ship? *We were given two beverage cards to use and of course won't really need them now that we'd be upgrading to the Have It All package, if we don't use those can those be converted to OBC or used on another cruise? Appreciate any answers and guidance. Very excited about our cruise and being on a ship we haven't been on before.

I was able to purchase five $500 gift cards just now. What was odd is that an error came up after I pressed submit for purchase that said "no more in stock", but the purchase went through and I got the emails with the gift card details.

We disembark in Boston on Sept 17th a Saturday... We have an 11AM flight, but now wondering if I should be looking for something later. We have no problem taking an Uber and disembarking with our bags during the first group of self-disembarking.

We had an issue with our Neptune suite jacuzzi tub on the Koningsdam earlier this month. We came back from an excursion and there was around 7-10 people in our room and apparently when the tub was getting sanitized it started leaking and a pipe burst and it flooded the bathroom and part of our room so there was tons of large fans being blown etc. they offered a free dinner at tamarind but we declined. They sent us a tray of appetizers and desserts one evening and a bouquet of flowers apologizing. Then we got 300.00 onboard credit. We never complained so receiving anything was a nice surprise. Plus everyone was really lovely. Tub couldn’t be used for several days but we had a shower. Carpet was pretty wet but nothing of ours was ruined.

I was on the Koningsdam from 7/31 - 8/6 and we got an upsell email three days before boarding the ship. We were wondering if we were even going to get one but got a great deal to upgrade from a Verandah to a Neptune suite and we took it. ($249 a per person).

I was on the Koningsdam the first week of August and the Neptune Lounge was also doing this. I didn't partake but there was a selection of alcohol available.

Great review, thanks for this. We board June 11th. Do you happen to know if they have ESPN on the TV? I ask because hubby is a huge hockey fan and the stanley cup final will most likely be going on during our cruise and it will be shown on ESPN. Thanks

In a similar situation. Flying in two weeks for our June 11th cruise... I tested positive on a home covid test about six days ago. My symptoms are gone now and because I was curious, I did a Walgreen drive thru Covid test today and Rapid NAAT shows positive for Covid... I'm assuming I can use the results from the Rapid NAAT from today that shows positive but I don't have a primary care doctor, so how do I get a letter of recovery?
