stickey_mouse Posted January 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2018 After months of deliberation, reading threads, and asking questions, I finally booked a room on the Nieuw Amsterdam for next month's Feb. 24, Western Caribbean sailing. I'm looking forward to experiencing the NA for the first time! Thanks to all of you for your help along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickey_mouse Posted January 18, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted January 18, 2018 What are the standouts at the Tamarind? We are not sushi eaters, and one person in my party is a tad picky. Hopefully, they will find something to their liking, because I want to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggal Posted January 19, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 19, 2018 After months of deliberation, reading threads, and asking questions, I finally booked a room on the Nieuw Amsterdam for next month's Feb. 24, Western Caribbean sailing. I'm looking forward to experiencing the NA for the first time! Thanks to all of you for your help along the way. So funny. After hours of deliberation yesterday (maybe 3 or 4), we just booked the very same cruise. I actually wanted to book an earlier cruise but its sold out and there's only a few cabins left on this cruise. Carnival Corp. shareholders should be very happy!

OlsSalt Posted January 19, 2018 #21 Share Posted January 19, 2018 We reluctantly booked the NA last year to see what HAL's "larger ships" were like since we have only sailed and have preferred her smaller ones. We found ourselves liking the NA a lot, and now have no qualms if we are finally aged out of the smaller HAL ships as they slowly leave HAL service. We thought the NA decor was the prettiest of all HAL ships so far and love the Tamarind dining option only found on these "larger" HAL ships. Plus she offers that very best cabin category found only on Vista and higher class ships - the enhanced verandah cabin choice, one step down from a full Neptune suite but larger than the standard verandah - that cabin option we think is the best of both worlds.
