superstein61 Posted August 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Yep - just returned from the Zuiderdam today. Overall we had a great time. When I have some time, I will post a detailed review - which for those who know my style - will cover the spectrum of good and bad (yes - there were both - do you expect anything different from me :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvcruzin Posted August 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Welcome Back!! OK.. what did you wear and what did you drink? LOL!!:D :D :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted August 8, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2004 OK.. what did you wear and what did you drink? And, most importantly, did he take and use the blender?????? :D ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevNeal Posted August 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Welcome back superstein61! I'm glad that you had a great time! I'm looking forward to reading your review and hoping to see the good as well as the bad. :) I'm actually taking bets as to the balance of the good and bad ... right now Vegas has the odds at 3 "bads" for every "good," so you can skew the results if you want and can clean up by surprising those who are pessimists!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted August 8, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Welcome back Superstein. Glad you had a great time. I would like to add to the list of questions. I see you wore a Cuban Shirt on a formal night. Was it a plain one or a fancy one with embroidery? Did you smuggle booze on board to use with the blender? Did you order a cake to celebrate? :D :D I look forward to your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superstein61 Posted August 9, 2004 Author #10 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Welcome Back!! OK.. what did you wear and what did you drink? LOL!!:D :D :p OK - i will answer a few quick questions here and then post the review in sections on a new thread as I have time: As far as what did I wear - of course I wore my nice Cuban and Mexican shirts on formal night with no problems. Actually had several compliments. Other days, just nice khaki's and a nice polo shirt or tropical design short sleeve button down shirt. As to what I drank - my rum of course :D Plus my diet Mountain Dew when I wasn't in the mood for an alcoholic drink. But suprisingly I also bought some drinks on board. the sailaway Mojito's were quite good - and the drink of the day $3.75 price was within reason. I also took part of the beverage package on Half Moon Cay and had many rum punches - (and a few diet cokes which I gave to my daughter - yea, yea, I know - you aren't supposed to share - but at $19.95 plus 15% unless you do , you don't come close to getting your money;s worth) Also had unlimited Pina Colada's on Barbaecue night - not a bad deal at $11.95 if you are thirsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you order a cake to celebrate? :D :D I look forward to your review. Thanks !!! Yes, the cuban shirt was a fancy one with embroidery. Actually saw similiar ones selling in shops on St Thomas for $50 (marked down from $80). yes - I brought my trusty rum along - but as noted above, still bought some other drinks on board Uh - no cake for me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
