Aft of the
Showroom at Sea on Lower Promenade Deck is Nieuw Amsterdam's
casino. The casino features five blackjack tables, one 'Fun 21'
blackjack table, one American roulette table, one dice table, Bonus Let
it Ride poker, Caribbean Stud poker, Three Card poker, touch screen
poker table, and twenty-six slot machines.
Adjacent to
the casino on the starboard side of the ship are the 65 seat Piano Bar
and the 50 seat Casino Bar. The Piano Bar, as traditional on other
Holland America Line ships, is popular for guest requests and
sing-a-longs.
The Casino Bar
is an exciting and whimsical venue for those who would like to catch a
popular event on television or catch up on sports news. Located
between the Piano Bar and Casino Bar is a metal barbecue 'Trionfi' which
used to be located near the Casino on the Veendam but was removed
when she received her full Signature of Excellence enhancements.
The barbecue is from the castle of Poggibonsi in Siena (Tuscany, Italy)
and was fashionable in the 17th and 18th centuries at prominent Spanish
palaces. Steel ribs end in individual candlestick faces.
Coal was placed inside the ribs and the hot air escaped from the top.
The nightlife
fun continues in the Northern Lights nightclub. Northern Lights is
one of the public areas that was designed by Petter Yran & Bjørn
Storbraaten. Guests will easily recognize the more contemporary
look and feel of the Northern Lights nightclub compared to other
fleetmates.
Proceeding forward from the
Northern Lights is a winding corridor that sweeps guests amidships and
takes them past some impressive works of art to peruse. The 166
seat Queens Lounge and Culinary Arts Center is aft of Northern Lights
and serves as an alternative entertainment venue to the Showroom at Sea..
Amidships on Lower
Promenade Deck parallel to the Atrium are the Pinnacle Grill and
Pinnacle Bar. The 112 seat Pinnacle Grill features a rich
selection of Sterling Silver Beef, seafood, and world class wines.
All are served with exquisite Bvlgari ® China, Riedel ® stemware, and
Frette ® linens.
Debuting on the Nieuw Amsterdam in the Pinnacle Grill is the
Master Chef's Table that includes an exclusive dinner for up to eighteen
guests. Each meal is enhanced with specially selected wine
pairings by the ship's sommelier. The evening includes seven
courses served on signature Versace china, each personally delivered by
a special culinary expert who will be the evening's host.
Across from the Pinnacle Grill is the Pinnacle Bar which seats 36
guests. Guests may enjoy a glass of wine here either before or
after dinner whether or not they are dining at the Pinnacle Grill.
