Veendam in Trinidad

[St Pete Cruiser]

My first visit to Trinidad today on the Veendam's Carnaval and Amazon Explorer.

Hi, we are boarding in Rio, so how is everything going on the ship? We have lost our Roll Call, so I guess this is the only way we can talk to people on this part of the trip. We still do not have our Visas . How does the ship look so far? Grace and Henry

The Veendam is actually quite well thank you. Dining room food and service has been 5 star! the entertainment has been good with many going back and forth from Prinsendam and Seabourne. we are in Belem today. Vitoria was cancelled, but Buzio was substituted . see you in Rio.

That is good to hear. Also, they say our Visas are being Fdex;overnight for us , so we should have them tomorrow. Did any of you get the Malaria pills? I do not if we should get them or not. Any suggestions? Grace:cool:

Just saw the pictures of the Veendam in Trinidad today.

It has been years since we were there.

Great pictures.

I have a thread here called Live from the Veendam. You can post on it. I will post photos as soon as I find free WIFI and figure out this new format on Cruise Critic. We are cruising well between Belem and Recife now. Weather is good, some rain but only on sea days so far. Ship looks good too! Captain provides lots of information which is nice to hear.
