SHIP: Zandaam, Holland America Lines, 15 day Hawaii (from 12/21/06 to 01/05/070, round trip San Diego. Cabin#6109 Verandah Deck
Embarkation: Checking in went fast and the stateroom was ready at 1:00 PM as promised. We were suppose to leave San Diego at 5:00 PM, but a medical emergency delayed our departure.
The Cabin: a Verandah Suite, port side forward. The room needed updating, the carpeting was worn with several stains. The couch was also stained. The bathroom shower also had black mold around the soap dish and hand hold. During the evening you can hear you can hear what is taking place in lounge which is below the stateroom. The layout of the room made it seem small. On the positive side the bed was the most comfortable I've ever encountered on a cruise ship.
