Review summary

This was our 13th cruise with all different cruise lines. It was far and away the best. The decor was gorgeous and not gaudy overdone like others - just undestated elegance. The crew was extremely friendly - especially front office who we have found to not be very friendly on other ships. The food was wonderful. Although cruises are known for their great food, we found the Westerdam food to be even consistently better than others. The entertainment was the best we've ever seen on a cruise. Their embark and debark procedures we smooth and quick. We were actually on the ship and at the buffet by 12:30 - the earliest we were ever able to board. And the let you wait in you cabin on the last day until you're called to debark.

Another geographically beautiful island. We hiked the rain forest. It was very physically difficult but so well worth it - so beautiful.

Don't Miss: Rain Forest - you can drive it if you can't hike it.
