Which ports does the Veendam dock and tender?

Plastic bottles in your luggage. works everytime. Empty water bottles and fill with wine.

Thanks for your responses and help.

Has anyone ever changed their cabin after booking, before or after the final payment? Only thing available on the Veendam Sept 2014 cruise in category A is on the Navigation deck. There are many more A's on the Veranda deck, but HAL says they are unavailable. I don't believe they could all be booked. We would prefer Verandah deck. So, curious about changing.

What times and how many days out of seven is the casino open for this cruise?

Wow was I surprised to this old post of mine.

We have been on Windstar twice, the last time in May out of Nice, France. We have taken 3-4 bottles of wine onboard in our checked luggage. We pack it just before boarding the ship in the middle of the suitcase, so there is no danger of the bottles breaking. We have also bought a bottle of wine at a port and just carriy it on the ship when we re-board. Never had a problem.

I don't think Windstar is that fussy about importing wine or booze. My guess is that would rather have you has passenger rather than annoy you with taking away your booze.

Thanks to both of you cruisers for the information.

I would appreciate an update on what is in the cabin’s mini-bar and if you are charged for snacks and drinks. We were on the Wind Spirit a few years ago . But I can’t recall how that was handled.

Also in the current Foremast brochure they refer to beverage packages. Example: Wine, Beer and Soft Drink package is $38.00 per person per day. So, I would appreciate if anyone who has sailed recently could give me what the prices were for a glass of wine, a beer, and a soft drink.

That seems kind of high to me if you are off the ship doing tours during the day. They do have a package for wine with dinner for $18.00 per day per person. Any thoughts???

See who's in port with you, or How crowded is it going to be???
