Thread: Nieuw Amsterdam Family Cruising

HAL has gone through a lot of work to get rid of their "old age home at sea" image and overall, they have done a great job with the new, larger ships.

I am still furious at HAL, but I not not find fault with a few things, and their kids program is getting better all the time.

Excellent Cruise Video. I toured the Nieuw Amsterdam's sister, the Eurodam on Saturday(2/12) in Ft Lauderdale. I'll be looking forward to Parts 2 & 3 of your family cruise video.

Here is Part TWO of my Nieuw Amsterdam video. In this episode I focus in on what makes the Nieuw Amsterdam unique.

Nice presentation, again. How did you manage to get a bridge tour and how were you able to photograph it? I thought that was impossible since 9-11.

Bridge tours are possible...we have been on quite a few since 911. They pre-screen you and you have to sign in..at least that is the way it's done on Celebrity. Pictures have always been allowed when we were there.

Char, I have tried several times to get a bridge tour but have been told no on one occasion and had it canceled twice on another cruise.

Maybe I just look suspicious.

They probably checked you out and saw that you were affiliated with the International Association of Troublemakers.

.......and Neal is wondering why they wont let him visit the bridge?

Well, I enjoyed Part 2 also. Looking forward to Part 3, Barry. The Cabana Club stood out when I toured the Eurodam last Saturday.

Maybe it is because they know I will not be able to keep my hands off the buttons.
