So here is Theo… some of you may remember him… he left Crystal for a bit … we are thrilled that he is our butler 

I’ve posted to our blog about our first day on the ship

Theo is one of the best! 

Thanks for the review! I'm doing the same cruise starting July 16, 2023. Getting more excited by the day!

Yes deck 3.

Awesome! Thank you for replying!!

Is there a full Promenade deck on the Westerdam?

Thanks for the review. I am embarking on July 16th, first time on a HAL ship. 

Please keep posting! I'm very interested in your trip. 

How is the Sheraton Seattle? It is offered by the cruise line for a pre-cruise stay. 

Looking forward to hearing all about your trip. I will be on Westerdam for the first time this summer. Can't wait to hear about the ship too.

I had been told by multiple sources that the cheapest and the most expensive cabins were the first to fill up with those doing full world cruises.

I first met Fernando in the 1980's when he worked for Royal Cruise Line. Those were good days, traveling with my family. Fernando always knew our names instantly. What a gift he has to make people feel special.

Wow, thanks for the review! This cruise is on my wish list!

Thanks jpalbny for the information on Easter Island. I will be there Feb. 24th just for the day but, I appreciate the information you shared! I can't wait, so excited! Lisa

I love small ships! Thanks for the comments which brought back good memories of cruises with my family.

Sounds like you have a wonderful trip planned! I am very jealous :) Thank you for your live posting on this cruise, I will be following along! Lisa

I am sorry about your experience. I have taken many cruises on different lines, and have never had a bad experience. Have I just been fortunate? I really do not know. I do know that I feel very privileged to be able to take a cruise, to breathe in the sea air, to see different places, be pampered, and not have to cook. Ultimately, life is what we make it. I wish you well on another cruise line that may be more to your liking. Perhaps my expectations are lower than yours.

I feel the same way!

What a good review. I am actually sad there is not more to read. Anyway, thank you for sharing your cruise. Lisa

Your pictures are wonderful! I cannot wait to get back to FP! Thank you for sharing. Lisa

Tahitian Princess with my family. Loved the ship and the cruise so much we did it twice. Once Papeete round trip, the next time Papeete to Honolulu. Still love the small ships. Great memories! Lisa

Wow, I loved your review of your Galapagos cruise. Thank you so much for sharing! Lisa
