Welcome aboard Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam for a tour of stateroom 4121, an obstructed oceanview stateroom on Deck 4. The lifeboats are right outside, but you’ve got full floor to ceiling windows, which makes it a lot nicer than you’d expect.

Key Takeaways
- Any card turns on the power by the door. It doesn’t have to be your room card, so a credit card or driver’s license works too.
- There’s lots of closet space, with shelves that fold down when you need more, a full length mirror, life jackets, blankets for the outer decks, bathrobes, beach towels and the safe.
- The minibar fridge is inside the closet, and it’s stocked with items you pay for.
- At the desk you’ve got two USB A ports, two US outlets and two UK outlets, plus two more outlets in the cubby where the old, smaller TVs used to sit. Wine glasses, the hair dryer and a makeup mirror are stored there too.
- The small sofa bed turns into a twin, and there are two overhead storage compartments above it.
- The bed is two twins combined into a queen. Each side has a USB A port, but there are no outlets by the bed.
- The bathroom has a tub shower, the toilet and sink, a small vanity with storage underneath, and shelves.
Good to Know
If you’re thinking about an obstructed oceanview, this one’s a good example of what you get: the lifeboats block the view, but the floor to ceiling windows still let in plenty of light, and the room itself has the same storage and setup as a regular oceanview.
There’s no power by the bed, only a USB A port on each side, so bring a longer cable if you charge your phone overnight. And keep in mind the minibar is in the closet, so you’ll find it there and not under the desk.
