Oosterdam Picture Review

[clarkg]

We came back over a week ago, but it's taken me a while to write the blog that goes along with this. You can find it here...

There's a new lifeguard in town

 

We flew into San Diego and spent four days there, then boarded the ship. For those of you who just enjoy the pictures, I will post them here.

 

South of the Border food, from just north of the border.

 

I had to try the Mexican Food. We were so close to Mexico that this had to be more authentic than the food I get in Washington State. It's completely different.

 



 

Appetizer down, bring on the entries.

We were on the same cruise & spent 3 nights in San Diego-love that city!

 

You're funny-read your blog entry. My husband is 6'4" so we always try to book at least a Signature suite as it is very roomy and he fits in the bed.

 

Did you see/listen to BBKings at all? We really liked them.

 

Congratulations on your almost retirement!

Thanks for the post and blog. When I was on the Koningsdam last summer the jigsaw puzzles were always a draw when we were at sea. The ones they had were hard so it usually took several days for each one to be completed even with so many people working on them.

 

Do you have any additional pictures of the Oosterdam? I'm on that ship my next cruise.

Thanks.

Thanks so much for your trip report....really enjoyed reading your blog.

So....they had jigsaw puzzles in the Crows Nest??? I'm still shaking my head at that!

Thanks, we didn't listen to BBKings, but we loved the dueling pianos in the Billboard on Onboard. Loved them We have a do-over in a couple of weeks, we can always try again.

Yes they were up in the Crow's Nest. I think its instead of the water slides, rope course, and water works.

I went through my pictures and sadly I don't. I usually wake up at two in the morning and go around the ship taking pictures. This cruise I was so tired that I didn't do that. I called my brother, but he didn't have any inside the ship pictures either. Stay tuned though. I'll make sure I take lots in a couple of weeks.

Love the sign

San Diego was a wonderful place to spend a few days. This was our first time there, but pretty sure it won't be our last.

What fun! Thanks so much.

My brother found a inside the ship picture on his phone.

Thanks for the extra picture showing all 4 of you.

I love San Diego, and Coronado. When you go back check out The Brigantine on Orange Ave in Coronado.

Thanks for the extra pic.

Don't mind at all, in fact, thank you for doing that.

Thanks for the additional pics, canadianbear.:D

Thanks for the link to your blog and for your review. Enjoyed your comments, especially those where you and your group were trying to negotiate directions.

 

I relived my 2002 San Diego trip with my mom (who died in 2014) through your pictures and comments. We went to most of the same places as you did. DH & I were on the last Oosterdan western Caribbean cruise for this season in April. Heavens, we desperately wanted to continue with the ship on her repositioning, but sadly I had to go back to work.

Canadianbear, thank you for those pictures. Ref that right hand picture with blue colors, where is that located?
