Review summary

Cruising the Panama Canal was what I wanted most out of this cruise and it was even more than I expected. The staff made the cruise even more enjoyable. The only negative comments I can make is that there was very little interaction with the senior officers...

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation in Ft Lauderdale was fast and efficient. The only negative part of the entire process were the porters begging for tips..

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food on the WESTERDAM was out of this world. Every meal was special, from breakfast in the Lido Deck to dinner in the main dinning room. Every meal was prepared to perfection.

Ocean Bar

5 out of 5

The crew at the Ocean Bar, especially Sergio and Nove were the best.

5 out of 5

I cannot praise the staff of the WESTERDAM enough. Everyone took exceptional care of the passengers. My room steward, Asis, was kind, professional and went out of his way to accommodate my needs. The entire staff of Canaletto's were outstanding...
