mek Posted March 18, 2014 #26 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks for the review and photos. We will be on Westerdam in December and it's been a while since we sailed on HAL. I appreciated the menus as my husband is a picky eater and I always like to know in advance what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 18, 2014 #27 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thank you for the wonderful review and great pictures. We have quite a few sailing days on the Westerdam -- most of them repositioning cruises from Ft Lauderdale to Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted March 19, 2014 #31 Share Posted March 19, 2014 What a fantastic review and awesome photos! We will be sailing the Westerdam in September for the first time. I also looked at your review of the Infinity, as we will be sailing that ship in July. Now I'm really excited, thank you! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shugey Posted March 19, 2014 #40 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are going on the Westerdam March 29 (in fact, staying in 7045, which you featured so very well in the photos). Our friends, who are also going along, have never been on a cruise before, and they will undoubtedly love to see these! In fact, we put your link on the March 29th Westerdam roll call!

runnergirl71 Posted March 19, 2014 #41 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Again, thanks! I got to look at things bigger last night. It helps me have an idea how to set my expectations for my Alaska cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have your talents but I would love to take a shot at it for the website if nothing else. thank you again so much:D I have the same question. I would love to know how that is arranged. Is it because you have a blog? We were on the same cruise (though not on the roll call) and really enjoyed it. It was our 5th or 6th cruise on Westerdam. (I lost count.) Glad to see Jimmy Maddox in the photo wearing the World Tour T-shirt - and the banner on the wall of the Piano Bar!

Rockfan2 Posted March 20, 2014 #47 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks so much for a great blog on your recent adventure on the Westerdam. We have sailed on her sister ship, the Oosterdam, a couple of times and are sailing on the Westerdam the first cruise out of drydock. I'm looking forward to seeing the art on board. I recently found a coffee table book at a local thrift store called "The Art of Cruising - Fine Art and Antiques of Holland America Line". Great photos and a very interesting read. Thanks again.
