Noordam

Sail date: November 04, 2006

Ship: Noordam

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

Very nice public rooms, although there was too much smoke in the Sports Bar which drifted into the hallway and up to the Ocean Bar. Good control of the A/C in the cabins. Decent size verandanas, even in the lowest catagory. Great variety of food stations in the Lido restaurant and very extensive 24hr. room service menu with very prompt service.

Ports of call

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
The "Boatyard" beach has lost it's carisma, unless you're 18 and want to jump onto a banana boat.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
I always like this port, only on this cruise we arrived at 7am and left at 1pm on a Sunday ( No one is out at this time in San Juan. Nothing is open, otherwise this is a great port)
Don't Miss: Seeing Old San Juan

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

3 out of 5
Good beach day, not too much else to see except to drive to the top for a view of the surrounding islands.

Roseau, Dominica

5 out of 5
A really beautiful, natural island. This is a port for nature lovers.

Cons: Too much smoke in some of the lounges.
