Veendam Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We wanted to visit Bermuda and found that the cruise from Boston was the most cost effective way. The Veendam docks in downtown Hamilton and there are 4 days to come and go between the ship and port. Our group consisted of my spouse and I (mid-late 40's) our 19 year old son and 4 year old grandson.
Boston Terminal: We parked at the garage and walked over to the cruise terminal. If not for the cobblestones, this would have been fine. All our luggage is wheeled, but this does not help much on the cobblestones. We arrived around noon and were able to quickly get through all stations without delay or line. Luggage arrived within minutes after we entered the stateroom
Stateroom 829 on deck 4: the room felt very crowded when we arrived with all our luggage. Once everything was put away, much roomier. Limited storage options for large suitcases though (did not fit under bed). The closets are not as deep as a suit hanger so our luggage and suits had to be adjusted to close the doors properly.
Cabin Review
Large Interior Stateroom
the room felt very crowded when we arrived with all our luggage. Once everything was put away, much roomier. Limited storage options for large suitcases though (did not fit under bed). The closets are not as deep as a suit hanger so our luggage and suits had to be adjusted to close the doors properly.
Spacious bath room. Plenty of room to take a child in and get him cleaned up.
We had no problem with noise or motion from this room other than on the morning we docked back in Boston.
We made use of the bunk bed for the 4 year old. This was lowered from the ceiling every night and raised in the morning by the room steward. Our queen bed was centered under the window, the bunk lowered over 1/4 of the bed. (Gave me a place to take cover when he decided to jump from his bunk to our bed).
Teen used the sofa bed. Not a typical pull out sofa. The cushions go away and the bed comes up from beneath, so the bed is the length of the sofa. My son is 5'10" and did not complain of the bed being too small. Only complaint was this was not converted back to a sofa daily, just remained a made up bed.
