Can anyone confirm that there will be a kosher group & a AAA group on the July 25, 2010 sailing of the Veendam to Bermuda? Does anyone know how many passengers will be booked for each group? Thanks for your help!

I don't know about July 25, but We are booked on the June 27 Veendam AAA Eagles cruise. They told me there will be about 250 in our group, so plenty of "regular" passengers too.

Maybe call AAA and ask about the group on the date you are looking at just to see how large the group is. Not sure how to find about the Kosher group. Did you try googling for it?

ETA: Nevermind...I just read your last post...sounds like you are fine! Enjoy your cruise!!!

Thank you for all of these great tips! I am planning our first cruise in June, for my Husband's 40th B-day. I have a couple of questions for you experts.

1. Passports.....do we leave them in our safe when getting off at a port, or take them with us?

2. Room Service....how does tipping work? Is there a gratuity added to our account, or do we just tip in cash when the food is delivered? How much do we tip.....do we tip more for dinner than breakfast, for example?

Thanks!
