Love it! I want to be like that elderly gentleman on the dance floor. He sure had some moves. I have always been told that Holland America sure knows how to treat their passengers right.
I miss cruising and cannot wait for it to come back in full swing! I believe after everything is settled down and with the new programs being figured out and put in operation of cleaning standards and keeping the cruise industry safer and better than ever its going to be all fun times again. Cruising has been my vacation of choice for 13 years now. Itll happen 😀
So glad I found your videos on TH-cam. I have enjoyed them all so much, have really learned little tricks of things to take, to do, and to view. My favorite thing to do in the evening is to watch. Keep the videos coming.
HAL is our favorite! Elegant relaxed ambiance! We took my mother in law on 3 cruises. She loved them. Really the only vacation that was easy on us too. She was in a wheelchair and we were even able to use the tenders. The staff was wonderful. They would carry her on and then put the wheelchair on after. Same going back. She did not have to miss anything. I don't think other ships do that. Amazing food, service and entertainment! Along with places to relax and read! What is not to love. Large staterooms too!
Loved this Cruise Ship. It's very relaxing and we enjoyed the show as well. We Danced the night away at BB King every night 😂😂. The food was very delicious 😋. Can't wait to Cruise again. Glad to see that you and Jason had a great time. We can't wait to Cruise again. Thanks for sharing.
What I like about HAL is that it’s a very chill and relaxing cruise experience. if you wanna party you can go out and find places to party. Compared to Carnival, which I like also, everywhere is a party and you have to go seek out relaxing places. My introverted self enjoys a nice book facing the ocean with more of a relaxing ambience 😁.
I really enjoy the HAL cruising experience you are sharing. Never sailed with them but will have to in the future. I miss cruising so much. Can’t wait until next May for our rebooked cruise. Thanks for the virtual cruise.
I think HAL seems like it could be my jam. I’m early 50’s but this ship seems to be a nice mix of fun night life without all the craziness I have experienced on other cruise lines I have sailed. It seems like a nice mixture of a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere. I need to get on a HAL ship hopefully soon!! And hopefully to Alaska.
Thanks for keeping me entertained during a 6 hour infusion at my doctors. Made the time go by much quicker but also sad that I'm not on a ship. Great job!
Wow! Even the dancing show was good! Better than others I have seen at HAL ships. I see you left out BBB King. I bet you had another amazing time with them. Even if you are not a classical music fan, hope you gave time to them too, their performances were amazing, another kind of vibe. PS sometimes the have "happy hour" at night too (BBB).
y'all know how to do it up right and you always seem to have a good time, never taken a cruise but your experience on this ship makes me want to book one!
We might have to try this cruise line out once cruising is back. Looks great and different from RC & Carnival. Hope things get back to normal soon because time does not stand still: life keeps getting older!
I cannot wait to spend some evenings at the Rolling Stone Rock Room! That was not on K'dam when I was on her; although, BB Kings was fantastic. While nothing will compare to Syd's, I really enjoy HAL's music walk and everything being so close and you can get variety. I'm so glad we did not do the handless duck farts on the group cruise, that would have resulted in some adultish blackmail videos, haha!
I like Carnival and want to try another cruise line but I'm so close to Platinum I got to stick it out. I wish Carnival's food was better. This ships food looks great so does Norwegians. Love the videos. Thanks
We are avid cruisers and our youngest daughter (now 14) has been in many different kids program (Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Holland America) and Club HAL was her absolute favorite. She still talks about how much fun it was - and she was 7 when we last cruised with HAL.
OMG, love those drinks service buttons, the food, and the music looks great, I definitely need to take a Holland American cruise, and the theater is nice but have to agree with Jason NCL is better with their broadway show style, keep the videos coming!
Im going on the Statendam next year so im watching all your vids on it and noticed they guy will the hat looks like my friend. U dont happen to remember the name of the guy with the cowboy hat do you? ❤️
Yes it does have the BB King Blues Club in addition to the Rolling Stones Rock Room and Billboard club! We will feature the BB King Blues Club in some of our upcoming videos in this series! BB king Blues Club was so much more fun and quickly became our favorite for dancing!
Completely off subject but I noticed awhile ago you guys got braces. Do you have the clear ones on top? If you do you can’t see them, including the wire! I am getting mine on this next month. I am so nervous! I think I’m going to do the clear on top too. Are you happy with your decision to get adult braces?
Yes we are absolutely glad we did it! We had Invisalign on our tops and we just recently got finished with those! Still have the bottom braces for probably another year! I would definitely recommend you do it because you will be so happy you did!
I like carnival cause : good prices for , 7 & 8 days / Also do 8 days south from ft. lauderdale - Miami & Also does : 8 days eastern st. martin , st. kitts , san Juan & grand turk

Great music venues! Love those service buttons, that is really awesome!
Loved this Cruise Ship. It's very relaxing and we enjoyed the show as well. We Danced the night away at BB King every night 😂😂. The food was very delicious 😋. Can't wait to Cruise again. Glad to see that you and Jason had a great time. We can't wait to Cruise again. Thanks for sharing.

I’m watching this a second time and I’m thinking to make this our second cruise but I wanna go with you guys!
Gosh, its fun to see how you both have changed!
Looks like some great entertainment on that ship! Like others, I am sure missing cruising.... Thanks for the video.
Who else is here fantasizing about when we can all go cruising again? I miss it sooo much!
nice couple god bless you more thanks for sharing your videos
I can’t wait to experience the difference in the environment. Sounds like the buffet food is the best you guys have had outside of Disney Cruise lines
I'm going on the Statedam in May2023. Now I CAN'T WAIT 😂

It was great! You should join us on Koningsdam next September to Alaska!!

Dolly Parton wow I’m going to have so much fun on HAL

Oh yeah we had the most fun at BB’s Blues Club! We have footage coming of that!
Thanks for sharing! This make me want to try HAL. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaa! Duck shot!
We always get to hear Jason sing, but it is something very special to hear Alisa sing...
You have a beautiful voice!
Oh thank you! I always think I sound terrible!!
y'all know how to do it up right and you always seem to have a good time, never taken a cruise but your experience on this ship makes me want to book one!
Do it, you will be hooked!
Looks like such fun!

That is awesome to hear! We toured the teen club and it looked like a great space.
oh, what a great news, my boys are 15 and 20 years old and just want to know how is the ship for them
Oh boy Alaska group cruise hurry up!!!!
World stage looks fun
OMG, love those drinks service buttons, the food, and the music looks great, I definitely need to take a Holland American cruise, and the theater is nice but have to agree with Jason NCL is better with their broadway show style, keep the videos coming!
Yeah you can’t beat a Broadway style show! But this was a really cool experience!
Great video,when's your next group cruise and where thanks
If you check out eecctravels.com group cruises, you can see all the ones planned for 2021/2022. Greece, Alaska and Hawaii so far!
Amazing
Im going on the Statendam next year so im watching all your vids on it and noticed they guy will the hat looks like my friend. U dont happen to remember the name of the guy with the cowboy hat do you? ❤️
Good video 🌼🌻🌼🌹
What do you notice as the biggest difference between pre covid vs now in cruising?
Now that's how you knock that s#!t back...lol
The BB King Blues Club was my favorite venue on the Westerdam and Zuiderdam. Does Nieuw Statendam have it, or did Rolling Stones replace it?
Yes it does have the BB King Blues Club in addition to the Rolling Stones Rock Room and Billboard club! We will feature the BB King Blues Club in some of our upcoming videos in this series! BB king Blues Club was so much more fun and quickly became our favorite for dancing!

Yes we are absolutely glad we did it! We had Invisalign on our tops and we just recently got finished with those! Still have the bottom braces for probably another year! I would definitely recommend you do it because you will be so happy you did!
What kind of drink package do they have?
15 alcoholic beverages per day plus non-alcoholic.
I like carnival cause : good prices for , 7 & 8 days / Also do 8 days south from ft. lauderdale - Miami & Also does : 8 days eastern st. martin , st. kitts , san Juan & grand turk
Hi Alisa and Jason, how was the food overall?
Excellent! We didn’t have a bad meal the entire cruise!!
Hey, thanks for replying!
Are you all on the ship mate app?
Yes, I am AlisaEECCTravel
@@EECCTravels thanks
I wish NCL for 7 day cruise , same prices as carnival or so - for a balcony
Oh boy shameless by Garth Brooks that’s my song!!!
Looks very nice but the crowd looks much older. Is that what you thought overall? You’re so lucky you got this one in!
Kenny Rodger
Looks like you all were the youngest ones on the cruise. Lol
We probably were some of the youngest, but it was a fantastic cruise!
