Itinerary- Africa at the top of my bucket list. Most ports were readily available to walk through. Ship tours ranged in price- from inexpensive to YIKES! Even though I now travel solo, I was comfortable and at ease. Staff on board exceptional- always willing to answer questions, give directions when we got lost or needed more information. Cabin stewards were always going the extra mile to make ...

We chose this cruise because we had taken Holland America before and really enjoyed it. This trip was to celebrate my 60th birthday and what a wonderful celebration it was! Everything was perfect! Our stateroom was nicely furnished with lots of storage. Our cabin stewards were amazing. Always there if you needed them but not intrusive at all. The concierge in the Neptune lounge were both ...

I was worrying before the cruise due to many negative reviews and feedback here regarding the ship and the cruise line itself. I think if someone is "hardly American or Canadian" should be a different category in the reviews. These people usually cannot recognize any kind of food but hamburgers and fried things. Every other food is just an "unknown thing" for them and after, they write a really ...

Just finished our cruise and omg, it was an amazing ship! We embarked from Port Everglades and I have never in my life been without internet access that long, but that's the point of a cruise, right? To experience it all? We did! We started our trip staying at the Quality Inn & Suites Airport/Cruise Port South. This is key: THEY HAVE A FREE AIRPORT SHUTTLE AAAAAAAAAND A FREE CRUISE ...

We traveled to Fort Lauderdale one day prior to our 2/21 cruise. Springhill Suites at Fort Lauderdale airport was a nice pre-cruise hotel. Beware of their complimentary transfers. They are handled independently and are rude and abrupt. Embarkation was a breeze, best of all 11 prior cruises. We were on board in less than 30 minutes. Had lunch on Lido and rooms were called promptly at 1:3pm. ...

This was my second trip on ZUIDERDAM, the first being in 2003. Then, everything went wrong; this round, everything went right. Drove to Ft. Lauderdale from Naples the day before and stayed with friends. Pre-boarding was done online and I breezed thru check-in. "Hotel" staff had a 'rhythm' much like a well-oiled machine but didn't lose the human touch. The food in the dining room AND Lido deck were ...

Caribbean Cruise Travel Journal We flew into Orlando the Wednesday before the cruise, to spend a few days with my husband Don's cousins. We picked up our rental Friday afternoon for our drive down to Ft. Lauderdale, and left Summerville (near the Villages) at 6;30 a.m. I'd spent many hours and sleepless nights worrying about the transfer from the airport (where I had to return the rental) to ...

My DW and I selected the New Year's cruise since we had enjoyed the same cruise on the Zuiderdam a few years ago. We also brought our 11-year-old son along. We very much enjoyed our wonderful Veranda Suite and the Neptune Lounge. The concierges were very helpful in every aspect of the voyage. The suite was lovely and had far more storage than we needed for a 7-day cruise. It was especially nice to ...
