Westerdam Cruise: July 26 - August 2, 2009
We boarded this cruise in Seattle. It was an easy 90 minute drive there, dropped husband at terminal with luggage and I parked. Within 5 minutes the parking lot shuttle arrived to take me back to the terminal. Check-in was painless. My husband needed to wheelchaired on and that process took a few minutes but went very smoothly. We were onboard less than an hour after arriving at the pier and were directed to the dining room for lunch. Rooms were ready at 1:30.
We had a balcony cabin on deck 5 (5167) and it was very nice. Our stewards were attentive and the room was always made up quickly. We were on the starboard side with a double bed, sofa, balcony, etc. Everything in the cabin was neat, clean, and worked well.
Nice location; quiet; close to the aft elevators which aren't often as busy.
