Review: MY WIFE AND MYSELF HAVE RETURNED FROM THE FIRST PANAMA CANAL TRANSIT FOR THE OOSTERDAM. HOLLAND AMERICA LINES HAS A LOT TO BE PROUD ABOUT IN OOSTERDAM,THE CREW AND THE SHIP ITSELF.
THE FOOD WAS CREATIVE IN PRESENTATION AS WELL AS TASTE. THE DINNING EXPERENCE WAS FIRST CLASS.
THE COOKS, WAIT STAFF AND THE CABIN STEWARDS MADE THE TRIP WITH WHAT THEY DID EVERY DAY. WAIT, THEY PUT ON A CREW SHOW THE FIRST I HAD EVER SEEN. THE CREW TOOK THEIR OWN TIME OUT OF THE LITTLE TIME TO REST, TO PUT ON A SHOW ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY AS WELL AS THEIR CULTURE.
I COULD NOT BELIVE HOW BIG THE SHIP IS. THE DESIGNERS HAVE THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING RAMPS AND WHERE THE ONLY ACESS WERE STAIRS ONLY THERE WAS A LIFT FOR ONES WHO NEEDED IT.
THE AGE RANGE WAS FROM JUST MARRIED TO CHILDREN AS WELL AS ELDERY PEOPLE. YOUNG AND OLD PEOPLE WERE SCOOTING AROUND IN THEIR SCOOTERS. ALL LOOKED HAPPY THAT THEY WERE NOT LEFT OUT BUT WERE INCLUDED IN THE CRUISING EXPERIENCE.
I FEEL THAT ALL WERE CATERED TO FEEL LIKE #1.
