elou Posted September 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I've cruised many times, but only 1 time on Eurodam. Out of Ft. Lauderdale in March is the Eurodam, Amsterdam and Westerdam. I was just wondering which ship to take------looking mainly for best theater shows and daytime activities while at sea. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted September 29, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Amsterdam or Nieuw Amsterdam? I think you mean NA. In March the Amsterdam is sailing roughly from Singapore to Cape Town. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 29, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The day time activities will be similar. The main shows will be similar. There are some special shows that are floating around, like the Blues show on Eurodam, for example, but don't know what ship will have what show at that timeframe. What about the itineraries? That is what many people make their decisions on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elou Posted September 29, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Been to all the islands before. Just love to cruise. Also, yes, it is the Nieuw Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted September 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I agree with Bruce. The shows and activities will be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted September 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The Eurodam and Nieuw A have the Silk Den lounge and Tamarind pan-Asian restaurant as pluses, but to me feel a little more crowded than the Westerdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenseasnomad Posted September 29, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2013 A way to avoid the crowded feeling on NA & Eurodam is to rent a retreat cabana. For us, it was worth the extra money. Then too, we always book an inside cabin so we used our "private space" in the cabana area as our verandah. IMO, you can't go wrong with any of these ships. Yes, NA & Eurodam have Tamarind, but if you don't go to the for-a-fee specialty restaurants, it makes no sense to base your decision upon this factor. You say you've been to all the islands. Well, which ones would you want to revisit? Maybe that's a place to start. Whatever you select, have a fabulous cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2013 We don't pick a cruise for its shows. JMO -- since you have sailed on the Eurodam -- I would choose the Nieuw Amsterdam mainly she has the Silk Den for cocktails and the Tamarind Restaurant - which we love. I know -- not everyone likes Pan Asian food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted September 29, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Westerdam is known for doing more in the way of shows and being innovative. No guarantees it will happen on your cruise - but we had a fabulous one on our cruise on her. If service matters to you, we found the service on this ship very good - superior to N Amsterdam - but that was just our experience;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us, it was worth the extra money.I get the crowded feeling mainly in the Lido but also to some degree in the MDR. For us, a cabana would be a waste of money because we don't stay in any one place for very long - there's too much to do around the ship. Even when we have a cabin balcony we don't spend much time on it.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
