Outside of not being able to stop at Half Moon Cay, due to mechanical issues to one of the generators, it was an excellent trip.

This is a smaller ship, so not the variety you would get with larger ones, but those offered were well organized and excellent.

Cabin / Stateroom

If you can afford a balcony, I highly recommend it. There is nothing better than sitting out on your balcony at the end of the day.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

St. Thomas never disappoints, but then it has Megan's Bay! If you've never visited this beach, put it on your list.

Amazing cruise
Disappointing Cruise
Loved the small ship. Veendam is older but well kept. As always on Holland America the service and staff are excellent. Our Suite was always clean and well stocked. Food was great along with the presentation and servers. Shows were great.
