[@eppsislike]

HAL stepped their game up. It's refreshing to see.

[@PhilFeedback]

Very nice, thanks for sharing. My wife and I were there recently onboard the Nieuw Statendam. It was Awesome, we loved it

[@toastycarpet9873]

[@DonnaRn]

We really enjoyed this ship. Fun, classy and adult oriented. Great food too. Five ⭐️

[@gonzalehunter4676]

Wow what a beautiful ship

[@haleyishuman]

The way you talk is soo soothing!

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@Keep-on-ok]

Need classes for MAC/Apple users. As a computer geek from way back, never cared for MicroSoft.

[@Bonstergirl1]

I love the way you talk and the intro too.. I understood every word perfectly.. wasnt that fast..we talk faster in australia lol

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks so much for your kind comment!

[@jonathanhankins8356]

Excellent video and camera work.

[@sergeyzyuzin2003]

Good ,modern design!

[@indraneeldatta8577]

The speaking on this video is terrible. It was so bad I had to mute it.

[@neerajsureshiyer9051]

IndraNeel Datta bro look at your channel first

[@jake4243]

It’s an acquired taste

[@jonathanhankins8356]

Question for anyone who has an opinion! Does this class of ship feel less like "Holland America" to you? This is the only ship class with HAL that I haven't been on. I write, and really like the quiet / relaxed atmosphere. Is that still there on Statendam and Koningsdam, or do you feel like they are they getting over into Norweigen / Royal Carribean territory with the vibe?

[@awesomedaisy123]

Jonathan Hankins I just got off the Nieuw Statendam and it’s still got that good ol’ HAL feel. I also prefer a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere and the bigger ships provide all sorts of nice places to chill out. Highly recommend.

[@PopularCruising]

The ships are an evolution for the line, but the quiet places are still there, particularly a welcome observation lounge.

[@Keep-on-ok]

We were on the Koningsdam in 2016. We loved it! Now we are booked on the Nieuw Statendam Dec. 2021 Caribbean and same ship in May 2022 Mediterranean.

[@joshb6381]

Is the voice robotic?

[@rojjo]

I went on the Koningsdam 2 years ago, and there was a problem with noise from people walking through the Music Walk as during the performances, especially the Lincoln Center Stage. Even though the moved the Lincoln Stage to the BB King, I wonder if the people noise still is evident. I am glad they made the toilet in the cabins more accommodating than in the Koningsdam. I am surprised they allow smoking in the casino. In the Niew Amsterdam I recently sailed as part of a charter, smoking was not allowed.

[@PopularCruising]

The noise bleed is much better on Nieuw Statendam as they're using divider doors more frequently.

[@AAa-cf1oe]

☺

[@markrubin9449]

The tops!

[@Keep-on-ok]

Canaletto - Have they learned to make lasagna yet?? Last time I ate there, they did not know how.

[@bradybritsch121]

Does holland America provide medallions like princess cruise

[@PopularCruising]

No, OceanMedallion is exclusive to Princess Cruises for now.

[@guruhmahbintang9389]

realy....right away 2019, wow....good luck team club sinchan 88. Gbu and have nice day:(

[@patrickmooney4135]

Very informative. Thanks!

[@PopularCruising]

Sure thing! Thanks for watching!

[@davemcduckful]

When showing food, please use its name.

[@PopularCruising]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@alan6872]

It's a shame I couldn't listen to it. The speed, rhythm and intonations couldn't be worse if someone actually TRIED to do an annoying job.

[@gonwest]

This is a speaking style that is discouraged in radio and TV because it sounds fake and is annoying

[@barryvogel7592]

What a beautiful ship. I checked out the video because I was curious about the ship and wanted to book a cruise. But, the narrator(and that's a kind word) was awful. I can't believe the HA would attempt a sell on this line with the BS. I had to mute him because he was so annoying.

[@jiajunjjyuan4058]

I started the video with 1.5 speed... BIG MISTAKE

[@nicolesummers3842]

Best watched with sound off

[@captainahab6089]

The recording is done robotically; it is not the filmer's voice.

[@haleyishuman]

Yes it is lol

[@chrisroets3089]

This ship is a nightmare for smokers, the only smoking place is in the back of the ship, where there is constant wind and the floor is constantly wet. Even worse they have a "policy" that you can only smoke in the casino if you are actively gambling...it ruined my vacation.

[@diegoalbo9260]

smogiji 👏👏👏👏 i 100% agree with you this dude is gonna die if he keep smoking

[@diegoalbo9260]

Chris Roets the floor is wet so that if drunk pepole throw there cigarete on the floor it dosent catch fire

[@Keep-on-ok]

Smoking at sea is very dangerous. I wish they would ban it completely.

[@mktsuritv9550]

The music is too loud. I can't completely understand some words. I totally need this for my assignment but it's giving me hard time to understand some words because of the loud background music and the rythm.

[@gameclipshd1510]

Good review but I feel you do speak really quickly if you slowed down a bit if may be a bit easier to understand you 😀

[@Energoscels]

Go to settings click Playback speed. Ur welcome

[@Keep-on-ok]

I avoid the salon because of the aggressive sell tactics. I just wanted to get my hair done!

[@bigcam34woods92]

Is this english?

[@blue04mx53]

wow. so from the video and voice over I understand that A: they have charging ports near your bed. And that Holland American Line is the most boring cruise ship on the sea. Maybe take a course with toastmasters or some other public speaking instructions.

[@juliandavies9467]

Holland America serves older people or people who need a quiet life. A simple Google search will inform you of that. If you find that boring, yes, take a different cruise.

[@albertosimmonscasanova1521]

How amaizing that you cant focus onto an object, you just moving around and round never showing what you are doing no one could ever see whit a clean eye the things that was there to really see

[@woodyww]

I am a native English speaker. Your narrator should speak in complete sentences and S L O W down.

[@richardmikoley7234]

MUSIC SUCKS!!!!!

[@sylviemuise5346]

This was the most boring ship I’ve been on. All music venues are together with music cross playing. The food is not all great. The lido is not self serve and feel like a soup kitchen and asking for food. The signature drink package has hideous grocery store wines like Caliterra and 8$ Barringer rose. My non- drinking spouse had to buy full alcohol package since I had one. Dining room hostesses had no clue how t o seat us and we were placed in corners or odd tables for 6. The best resto was the Tamirin and the Dutch cafe. The ship shuts down at 11pm...not cool. What a disappointment of 14 days on board. The only good music was BB king.....thank goodness. Others were off key. Dance was wonderful though. Hal is about economy and making money. The greenhouse spa had this slamming door and loud water spas....not relaxing and a waste of money. The gym was good. Sorry, I am a veteran cruiser and this failed us. Unfortunately it was an anniversary cruise.

[@diegoalbo9260]

sylvie Muise well im on it right now and so far its great food is ok cafe is realky good pool is really cool also and the balcony of my room is so sick

[@juliandavies9467]

This is really strange. Robo voice, computer generated visuals with just a few actual human beings, and digitized music. The dancers were real and very good. When I was a musician on a few cruise ships 40 years ago, everything was analog and real. Now we're living in the world of the Matrix and nothing can be trusted, including this "video".
