We are Australian,frequent cruisers, now that we are in retired. As such, we can choose to travel whenever and on whatever ships we like. This short cruise on the Oosterdam was chosen because of a previous wonderful cruise on the Westerdam, her sister ship, and because it sailed out of our home port, Sydney. We looked forward to a voyage with quality inclusions including decor, food and service - the ports were unimportant as we had been to the Sth pacific before. Unfortunately we disembarked feeling very dissapointed. Perhaps we are now spoilt, having cruised on many different ships in many exotic and interesting locations. However, I dont think we were the only passengers who found the ship to have boring and uninspiring activities, entertainment and food. So, to be fair I will list the points that were:
Favourable
- the size of the verandah - very spacious, enough for 3 people to sit
bathroom and verandah were a good size. Bed and pillows excellent. Area between bathroom anfd wardrobe was ridiculously small
