Holland America Line - Oosterdam Review

The Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise offers two cruises a year, one of out Fort Laurderdale in January, and the Meixan Riviera out of San Diego in the fall.

 We have been on three of these full ship charter cruises, all on Holland America ships. They have all been fantastic!

 Instead of having the Phillipine houseboys put on a "show" for the entertainment, the Blues Cruise office books twenty plus blues, rhythm & blues and zydeco bands, and there are 10-15 music shows a day, using all the ship's venues. The problem is not boredom, it is getting to see everyone-an almost impossible task!

Dress is casual throughout, so you can enjoy Holland America fine dining without having to put a tux on during your vacation. Ports of call often feature land shows-in Cabo musicians from the boat took over Cabo Wabo, thrilling both cruisers and locals.

There are also very few small children on board. The adult environment is refreshing.
