I wish to write in reference to a cruise I recently took.
My husband & I went on a 12 day cruise on the Veendam Jan. 3rd to Jan. 15th, 2005. My husband has been on 12 Holland cruises plus other line cruses and I have been on three Holland cruises, and we were always satisfied on previous cruises. This was the worst cruise we have taken, and we took two other couples with us.
We arrived in Puerto Rico on Jan. 6th and was the Festival of the Three Kings and as a result all tours were cancelled and all shops were closed. We arrived at 5 p.m. instead of 2 p.m., due to engine trouble. It would not have made any difference, everything was closed. I cannot say we saw anything of Puerto Rico, certainly the itinerary could have been planned better, since this festival is celebrated every year in Puerto Rico and the cruise line would certainly have known this.
