On our cruise getting there early was a must. It was a great taking the classes and they help people with limited computer knowledge. You also get a step by step outline of what is covered in class.

I took the Ferry Trip 2 year ago. It was great. The Bus Ride didn't seem long to get to the ferry. It seemed longer on the way back but that was after a half day on the ferry. I found going through the locks much better on the ferry than the ship. On the ferry all the buses had guide so on the ferry you were never far away from an expert. They also had an announcer on the PA system that added a lot of information. This was the best ships excursion I have every been on in 9 cruises.

We had a balcony on our canal trip on the Zuiderdam. We had breakfast on our Balcony while heading into the canal. We had finished breakfast as we approached the lock and went topside. We had plenty of time to see the boat lift and check everything else. Our side of the ship was on the landward side in the Ports of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. It was well worth having the balcony on those stops. We also took the Ferry excursion to the Pacific side and found that better then being on the ship for the locks.
