I don't have copies, but I was on the Amsterdam 2 weeks ago.

We went to the main dining room 4 times. The menu changed a bit each night but I had:

-New York strip steak

-Salmon

-Beef Tenderloin

-filet mignon and lobster

-sides were always some sort of veggies

-also had salads and the French onion soup. Which I thought was great.

-for deserts we had various chocolate cakes each night, which were great and something called the baked Alaska, which was amazing.

Buffett is your typical buffet food. No always found something to eat.

Entertainment was good. In the Queens lounger there was:

-Amsterdam singers and dancers have 3 different shows they will do. I thought the shows were good.

-there was a lady singer. But we didn't go to any of her shows.

-Thomas John, a comedian juggler who placed 4th on America's got talent.

While it is a smaller ship and it was at capacity, it never felt crowded.

We don't have kids, but I'd say spend time outside on the deck, esp in the passages. I found I could hang out on the deck and saw plenty of whales during my cruise.

Can't believe it was already 2 weeks ago I was in Juneau on Amsterdam.

Thanks for the responses.

Shows I am new to NCL since I meant vibe in terms of atmosphere :o but maybe I'll have to check it out:cool:

good to know they are not complete party ships.

My wife and I are looking into Caribbean cruises and strongly leaning towards NCL, strongly leaning to Getaway or Escape. I had a question on ship vibe.

I am intrigued by the dining options and entertainment. How crowded are these ships and are they complete party ships or can you find places of peace and quiet? I'd like a mix of both. :)

I just cruised through Holland America for Alaska and chose this ship due a great last minute price. I liked being able to find quiet places on HAL and how spacious it felt for a smaller ship, but didn't like how dead most of the ship was after 8. :eek:
