We boarded the Holland America Veendam with minimum fuss except for the usual 90 minute lineup!
Our portside cabin is roomy, has a large window and boasts a 4 piece bathroom. The bed and pillows are fantastic. The storage is perfect for 2 women. We are aft on deck 5 and the location is good.
We finally got assigned seating and are at a table for 10 with only 7 guests all of whom are staying on this cruise until we get to Rio. The portions are generous so we are walking up and down stairs. Barb has joined Pilates and Lynne has joined the library.
We met quite a few present and former Edmontonians...who would have thought!
We are late posting to our blog because the ship´s internet was broken and could not be repaired until Cabo San Lucas. Then, although we had signed up, we discovered there was no Word on the internet terminals so we are using land based internet cafes. The money we are saving on ship´s internet rates should treat us to a Wine Card (20 glasses of wine for $60...and nobody told us about that!)
Although, we cheated and brought 3 litres of wine on board with us!
We are starting to actually relax and sleep until 6am.

I am glad you are finally posting entries. I was getting worried. Have you met any characters on your cruise yet?
