The Holland America Line Nieuw Amsterdam has a dozen bars and lounges spread over 11 decks. This deluxe mid-sized ship carries over 2,100 guests and has simple, elegant decor throughout the ship. Explorations Cafe, the specialty coffee bar, opens as early as 7:00 am, and some of the other bars open at 9:00 am. Many of the cruise ship's bars do not close until the early morning hours.
