Review summary
My daughter and I cruised on the Veendam to Bermuda in early July 2010. It was a perfect get-away and a wonderful cruising experience, her first but a repeater for me! First of all the Veendam has been fully refurbished, with new furniture in our stateroom, a Deluxe Veranda, and all throughout the public spaces such as Dining Room, the Showroom at Sea, bars, casinos, Explorateurs Cafe, etc. The appointment of these public spaces is spectacular with beautiful colours, very modern games tables, and outstanding decoration - what a treat to see the Veendam modernized in such a tasteful manner! As usual our HAL assigned personel were courteous, most serviable and very professional, both for our stateroom and in the Dining Room. Bermuda was also a great experience: the opportunity for the Ship to dock right on Front Street in Hamilton is priceless, and offers unlimited chances to visit Hamilton and the surroundings without hurdles. The ship also laid anchor outside of St-George, and although the Bermudian ferry service was not the most convenient, the visit of St-George and the surroundings was very worthwhile. All in all, a most pleasant summer cruise on a beautiful ship to a lovely island, Bermuda.Ship experiences
