Westerdam

Sail date: March 11, 2007

Ship: Westerdam

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

Very clean. Excellent service. Crew trained/informed to accommodate. Seems as if they enjoy the work mostly, rather than a chore or working for a paycheck. As mentioned above, one or two ports had too many ships docked at the same time, causing more crowds than previous cruises, but overall things worked out and ok.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5
Seems a relavtively new port stop. Not too many shops at this point. Maybe future will increase the size of options available there.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
Shopping all over. Visited ruins. Poor country in land. Things may improve with time and development of lands near port for hotels/condo's, etc.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Margaritaville great. Got involved with a contest. Local DJ pretty good/funny. Had fun, did a little shopping.
Don't Miss: Margaritaville

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
Enjoyed the snorkeling, but very crowded at the manta site. Had been there before at another time on a smaller boat with additional diving/snorkeling added to feature, easier to get around then. Very crowded at the time.
Don't Miss: Any underwater sport. Great water/things to see.
