This was my second sailing with The ms Veendam. I made the same trip the year before, but in a Suite one category down, which was still generous for 2 people with a 1 1/2 year old boy.
The Penthouse was spectacular, so much so that I have booked it again for Thanksgiving of 2005. My son loved the ample space He's a hyper-active child, but behaves like a gentleman in the dining room, where he received so much attention from the wait staff. He enjoyed the mushroom soup most of all, and had 2 bowls.
This trip was done with myself, my husband, our son, and my brother-in-law in the Penthouse, and The two Moms in the Deluxe Suite next door. We had a ball!!!!! We are going again in November, same arrangements, only the Moms will be across the hall, and next to them will be 2 long time friends of mine who have never sailed before.
