Just booked Westerdam...1st HAL cruise

[loungelizard]

My DGF and I just booked the Westerdam for 1/11/09 Southern Caribbean and we'd really appreciate any info and/or opinions from veteran cruisers of this ship. I think we made a very good choice...what do you think? We have been on Carnival 4 times, Princess once and RCI once and we wanted to experience HAL. I've read a number of CC Westerdam reviews and most seem positive. I have a feeling we will really enjoy this cruise.

Welcome to HAL and the HAL boards! We're cruising on the Westerdam for the second time later this month. Any questions that you have about her can be answered here. She's a lovely ship and I can't wait to be back on board. We personally prefer the smaller R & S class HAL ships but we love the SS/SY cabins on the Vistas so we're back.

We have sailed on the Westerdam.

 

You are going to love the Westerdam.

We just completed our 1st HAL cruise (on the Westerdam) 2/10 and really enjoyed ourselves. I have attached a link to the thread posted earlier.

You'll have a great experience on a wonderful ship!

DH and I were on same cruise as CroozeAddict, and everything he says in his review is true. We had a great Roll Call and wonderful cruise.
