Oosterdam review - January 24 - 31, 2009
This review is going to be very long and detailed. If you just want the highlights here they are - I've tried to hit the points people seem to be the most concerned about on the boards:
Likes: • New Pinnacle menu (love all the new seafood and vegetarian choices) • SY suite • Anytime dining! We usually never waited at all for a table for 2, and only 10 minutes the one time we did have to wait (formal night). They give you a beeper, so it's not a big deal at all • Wonderful HAL staff • No trays in Lido - seemed to cut down on waste, and we never had a problem carrying our plates • HAL shore excursion in Cabo (whale watching - fabulous) • Room service (used for breakfast every day - only forgot items twice, and quickly brought them to us) • Massage on the beach at Krystal Resort in Puerto Vallarta!!! • Grapefruit Cosmos • Elemis products in bathrooms
SY cabin is a great value - lots of extra space, plenty of storage, and a huge balcony. Price is just slightly more than a regular verandah cabin.
