Ms Oosterdam Eastern Caribbean February 08, 2004 - February 15, 2004 Voyage Number 26 Deluxe Veranda Suite Cabin 7069. We sailed on the ms Zuiderdam's 13th voyage last February and although there were some issues that caused us some concern, it was a totally enjoyable cruise. The mean spirited reviews I've read of her are totally and completely exaggerated and unfair. A good time was had by all of us in spite of a few minor glitches the crew had getting used to their new ship.

Our cruise last week on her sister, the ms Oosterdam was by far the best cruise experience we've had. Where do I begin?

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 for 2 nights to relax before our cruise and we highly recommend you do this. The hotel is great with rooms with marina views and a lovely pool. You can purchase this Pre Cruise package via HAL and is well worth the money in order to get yourself nice and relaxed for the cruise. Transportation from the airport and from the hotel to the ship was included. Read more
