Partial Panama canal cruise by jfybel

Sail date: Oct 27, 2024 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Rotterdam

12 day partial Panama canal & Caribbean cruise is a great itinerary! Holland America's private island (half moon cay) is a beautiful place. White sandy beach that is not over-developed. Rotterdam ship is very nice.

Ship: Rotterdam

Started out OK, but skipping ports ended up 8 straight days/9 nights at sea in unpleasant weather conditions, lots of sick people from seasickness.

rip off by gregtitus66247

Sail date: Oct 12, 2024 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Rotterdam

hurricane milton ruined the trip, co recompense from anyone, would have loved to have gotten at least some credit for another cruise, but to bad so sad if you do not spend the extortion (oh sorry.. the "insurance") so if you lose your house to a hurricane and cannot get on the boat, sorry, 6k out the window. OK, I'll eat the 6k, but guess what, NEVER again to cruise with anyone, and will bad mouth HAL until my last breath.
