Questions Regarding Nieuw Statendam

[fkfad]

We are slated to cruise on February 7, 2021, on the Nieuw Statendam (fingers crossed) and have some questions about this ship:

 

1)  Does it have Pickleball?

2)  I read somewhere that they have outdoor movies -- where do they show these movies?

3)  How many gala nights are usually held on a 10 day cruise?

 

I'm sure I'll think of more questions as time goes by.  LOL  

 

I check the HAL site every day to see if they have changed their target date for resuming cruises...so far, so good for February 7...

 

Thanks!

2) There's a large screen at the forward end of the Lido pool, so it's semi-outdoors when the roof is open.

Thank you for your reply!  We love the outdoor movies!!

There will be either 2, or 3 Gala nights on the 10 day cruise.

They do have courts that are multi-sport (basketball, tennis, etc.) and pickleball equipment.

I would expect 2.

One comment on the movies.  WHile it is nice to watch outdoors and have them bring snacks around (or easy to go get some by the pizza/sandwich counter nearby), most of the movies are classics and PG rated (due to being out in the open I suspect).  We only found one worth watching (to us) all week long.

We hope it sails as well, try the almond pretzels after 9pm at the pizza/snack location.

We hope to spend 4 months on her starting December 30th, 2020

On my 10 night Koningsdam cruise, we had 2 gala nights.
