Noordam Review

About Us  3 single well- traveled ladies all over 50 from NYC who arrived by private car. Secured VF veranda cabin as mid ship as humanly possible!

Embarkation --10/14/06 sailing slightly delayed by 3 different inspections conducted in NYC prior to clearing the ship for boarding. Ship arrived in NYC after being in Europe since February. We were handed numbers and told to take a seat until called. Once our number was called, the process went a little slow for our taste with handling the hand luggage over and over again until we started kicking it! Luggage was delivered to our cabin piece by piece (6 pieces in all). As luck would have it, the bags containing our clothing were the last to arrive! Our bags with the toiletries and accessories arrived first. So we really could not unpack and get settled in as quickly as we would have liked. We were also a tad delayed leaving NYC. We headed up to the Lido deck for buffet and enjoyed it before heading off to the life boat drill which was held out on deck. Cabin numbers were called until a response was received. An Immigration Office kept walking back and forth on deck throughout the drill. Read more
