cruz chic Posted February 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi Everybody! Just checking in with cheap internet from the pier in Puerto Vallarta. I´m not likely to check back in on this thread unless I find a cheap place. Just wanted to make some comments about the Oosterdam. I´d heard negative reports about the ship and I just want to say I have found everything to be great so far. I have the best cabin stewards. The service was painfully slow in the MDR on the first day but it´s been excellent ever since. I´m enjoying my first cruise as a 4 star mariner:D:).

Spent the day at a resort and got a manicure. It was great but the food sucked. Looking forward to the yummy food on the ship:). Gotta get back for early sitting.

Have you met up with Pinacle Girl? You know me all too well. Spent PLENTY today in Mazatlan. Managed to find cheap but uber slow internet. I've got Cabo tomorrow so it will be expensive again! I have met Pinnacle Girl and DH and have spent a bit of time together. They are 3 doors down from me. We are going to the Pinnacle on Friday to avoid the MCD.

They were looking at the Zuiderdam for August and I am hoping they still are considering it. It's freezing here---enjoy your heat.

PirateShark Posted February 17, 2011 #17 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just a shade over two weeks before we sail and the anticipation is killing me. Got our cabin assignment already for our GTY and it is pretty darn awesome :D Glad to see that The Big "O" is still ship shape and fabulous. Can't wait!

The Oosterdam tends to be a cold ship in my opinion...and I generally tend to be warm. It's nice in Cabo today....probably the nicest it's been. I'm guessing low 80's. We had fog and rain early in the morning in Mazatlan but it burned off early in the day. Puerto Vallarta was nice but it was foggy for a time. Both Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan were on the cool side. That said, it's much better then home. I don't want to come home:mad:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's -20 with ice crystals. It's not supposed to be any better next week. I'm so done with this weather. That's it, I'm NOT coming back. Whoever is in my cabin next week is going to have to share with me:D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajpmom Posted February 17, 2011 #21 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thank you for the info. I will need to pack warmer clothes then. I looked at the weather and it said mid 70's. Some ships seem cold and it's nice to know ahead of time. Two more days and we switch with you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okie1946 Posted February 18, 2011 #25 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Can someone please tell me if the Oosterdam has a self-service laundry? We are sailing in April and would like to be able to pack even lighter thus the need for one. Thank you.
