Review summary

Really enjoyed the nice size of the ms Veendam relative to many larger cruise ships. The diverse entertainment available on board was a good complement to

the shore excursions....especially the superb floor shows and Jeff Warren at the Piano Bar! Jeff's innovative routine attracted repeat crowds each night to sing along to the "oldies" while being entertained by his intimate knowledge of the history behind the singers and the songs.

Caldera is a container port and a 15 min. cab ride to Puenarenas, which can only handle two ships, which is why we were stuck in Caldera, I assume! Very inconvenient!
