6 family members were traveling to celebrate my parents 62 anniversary. We were very excited and expected a very pleasurable experience. Naturally, a lot of planning went into coordinating the trip since we all live in different parts of the USA.
The Veendam was chosen for its size and the destination of Bermuda seemed perfect.
Embarkation was easy, however once we arrived on the Lido for lunch thing broke down. Yes, we got lunch but the lines were long and there was little organization to things. Tables were left with dirty dishes and everyone was scrambling for something to eat. Our bags arrived in our room shortly and we unpacked. We had plenty of room for our clothes. We enjoyed touring the ship and the scenery as we left NY.
