Sail dates November 23,2002- November 30, 2002 from Tampa FL.
A little background to get started. This was my husband Rocky's 9th cruise, my 5th and our son Mark's 2nd. We chose HAL's Veendam because HAL is Rocky's favorite cruise line and also because it was out of Tampa, only a 15 minute drive from our home. Rocky last sailed on the Veendam (and HAL for that matter) in 1997. Previously I had not sailed on a HAL ship and Rocky was very excited for me to experience this line and the wonderful reputation they have.
Our ports on this 7 day cruise were: Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, Jamaica, and Cozumel. This review will be on my observations and experiences.
