Cabin: Signature Superior Verandah Suite

We 3 adults cruised on the Holland America Zuiderdam for the Panama Canal/Southern Caribbean 10 day cruise. The cruise visited Costa Rica (Puerto Limon), Panama Canal (Gatun Lake and Colon), Aruba, Bonaire, Half Moon Cay and back to Fort Lauderdale.

We flew into Ft Lauderdale the evening prior to the cruise and arrived late that evening. We stayed the night at Homewood Suites Ft Lauderdale. We were too late for their dining room and there are no nearby restaurants. We were prepared for this so it was not a problem.

This hotel is adequate for an overnight stay, has a shuttle from the airport and supplies an excellent cooked breakfast. The hotel was clean and friendly, good value though you have to pay for the shuttle to the port. Would stay there again.

Cabin Review

Signature Superior Verandah Suite

Cabin SS

6066

Superior Verandah Suite (cat SY) - a large Queen bed (which could be 2 singles) and an excellent Single bed (from sofa but very comfortable)and plenty of space for 3 adults. Shower and separate bath with good plentiful supplies of body wash,shampoo & conditioner (no need to bring your own)and a Double sink. We used the shower over the bath as it gave us more room. The balcony was spacious for all 3 of us to be on it at the same time. There is room in the safe for an iPad (Mk1)in case and plenty of space in the cupboards and various drawers (including 2 under the bed). We put all our suitcases under the bed. It was kept clean and had adequate outlets for charging cameras etc though we did use a power strip as we had a lot of equipment.
