We just got off of the Zuiderdam we went to the Panama Canal. The ports were amazing we had wanted to do this cruise for a while.
Pros: Food was really good. staff onboard were all very nice and attentive. Ports were great, but still cannot understand why we would go to Colon when we were told by many people do not go out of the port too dangerous. so we did not.
Cons: Holland tends to entertain older people. I am 58 and my husband is 65 and seriously I think we would have been included in the younger crowd. We spent 4 days at sea. and I was so bored. Of course they have there activities , that is if you want to learn about a computer, 2 days they had flower arranging. the second one had a cost of $39 WHY??? They have many things at the spa well of course. I'm so not used to this. At least on other cruise lines there was always something to do not in this case actually I think there is more entertain in an old folks home.
The cabin was nice, a bit smaller then I have found on other cruise lines but nice
we boarded on this day no excursion
went to the beach, and had a barbeque. Drink fountains were not working, and you had to pay for a soft drink or bottled water, after a while the drink fountain was fixed
