My wife and I had a marvelous time on a 10 day cruise on the Volendam. The stateroom was great. Larger than we expected. The service was top ranked. The long table food was varied and tasty. We have taken two previous cruises on two different lines. My wife says this was the best of the three.
You expect quality when you travel. We were not disappointed. We never thought we would need medical help...but when we needed it...we got it.
When we docked at Veracruz my wife, who has trouble breathing has a severe attack. She doubled over shortly after we left the ship. Within minutes paramedics arrived at the scene. Followed by members of the ship's crew and the ship's doctor and head nurse. My wife received oxygen and a wheel chair was brought up. She was fine after the oxygen. Thank God for the Mexican Authorities who didn't charge for their help. And Thank God for the HAL crew who reacted quickly and with concern.
