Eurodam

Review summary

The only real low point was the erratic internet. Our understanding is that it will be changed. The ship's app was ok, but I failed to understand why we were not provided with a final bill until we were home three days later. I'm sure that there is a means to dispute individual transactions, but it just is poor customer service.

Generally a really nice cabin, a bit of a squeeze between the bed and the wall when going from bathroom to the balcony.

Visited a coffee plantation and had a tour hosted by the owner. Very interesting.

Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala Did not visit port

The ship went to El Salvador instead. Political unrest in Guatemala.

Went to the Scarlet Macaw rescue center. Great tour then on a boat ride that was pretty good.

Oranjestad, Aruba

3 out of 5
Did a tour around the island that was good. Would have preferred to reduce the number of sea days and perhaps visited other Caribbean locations.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Went directly from the ship to the airport.
