geocruiser Posted May 12, 2015 Author #2 Share Posted May 12, 2015 These two are of Nieuw Amsterdam.. the second one is of the interior of the ship. So different from today's ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it is interesting that shore excursions were included in the fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1928 it would have bee NA1, the current NA is what number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted May 12, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 12, 2015 These two are of Nieuw Amsterdam.. the second one is of the interior of the ship. So different from today's ship. I loved the shots of the children's area/nursery and that they had swords in the gymnasium for fencing (I assume!?!?!?). I had the opportunity to go aboard the 2nd NA (1938-1974) several times at the very end of her career. My grandmother (who'd sailed HAL to Europe several times) took me for tea onboard the ship when she'd stop in Fort Lauderdale. Even at her advanced age, I thought she was a gorgeous ship!
