Noordam, Holland American – 11 day Southern Caribbean – 2/17-2/28/2014

An easy 2 hour drive south from our RV park in Fort Pierce via the Florida Turnpike brought us to Park N Go – our usual cruise parking lot. We arrived about 11am. The van was waiting. They loaded our luggage from our car into the van and the next time we saw it – it was in our room at 2pm.  We boarded quickly and were welcomed by steel-drum Caribbean music and free cocktails in the lounge. We had a nice lunch in the Lido, but missed the Mariner “Welcome Back” lunch in the Dining Room because we didn’t know about it.

Our Balcony room was wonderful! Spacious enough with a small couch, a small club chair and a stool for the dressing table/desk. The bathtub/shower was excellent with plenty of hot water and a great shower head. The balcony had rattan chairs with cushions, a large footstool and a small table. Perfect! We had our beds separated into comfortable twins and the double sided, flowered bed throw was perfect for a nap or an extra cover at night. Our thermostat worked perfectly. There was plenty of closet space and hangers. The suitcases fit under the bed. Read more
