We were on the January 31st cruise on the Eurodam for 7 days. This was my fifth cruise – all with Holland America and I’ve loved each and every one of them. The first three I took with my mother and the last two with my cousin. I’ve been on the Westerdam twice, the Noordam once and this was my second cruise on the Eurodam. Previously, I’ve had a signature suite twice and a verandah room twice. I had booked a VE guarantee on this cruise and paid an upsell fee to a SZ guarantee the week before the cruise. I was initially given a SS room and then two days before we left, the truly wonderful upgrade fairy visited and we got moved to a SA Neptune Suite….what a lovely surprise. Of course, this has truly spoiled me forever as it’s unlikely I’ll be booking one of those for a long time.
This was a particularly nice surprise as my cousin was celebrating her 65th birthday on board so the suite was icing on the cake, so to speak!
We flew in to Fort Lauderdale the night before and stayed at the Best Western Plus Oceanside Inn. The hotel was really nice – our room opened out onto a sundeck overlooking the pool. There was a complimentary hot breakfast buffet that had a great selection of breakfast items from fruit, pastries, eggs, bacon, waffles etc etc. Great choice to start our holiday.
The cabin was absolutely beautiful. I believe that it was refurbished in recent dry dock as it looked in pristine condition. The bathroom had a jet tub as well as a separate shower. There was a dressing room with extra closet space! Great seating area and huge 42 inch TV. Fabulous!
Great embarkation.
Rented a clam shell and enjoyed the sun, sand and surf.
The tour was a waste of money. This is a bad stop for the cruise lines.
