Holland America Line - Westerdam Review

Although I have gone on several cruise lines I find that one of the better cruises I have been on is a Holland America Caribbean cruise. The staff is most willing to accommodate someone of limited mobility or abilities. There is much to do on the ship including sitting on a deck chair and watching the world go by. Its one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had. This particular ship the Westerdam was used in a Hollywood movie called "Out to Sea" with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and watching the movie always brings back happy memories of eating by the pool and walking on the deck. The decor is so rich and warm.  It is a family environment with an older crowd of passengers but nothing stuffy about it.  The shore excursion offer variety but for those people limited in mobility the pickings can be slim. I suggest booking excursions early. Also book shore trips thru the ship I know its more money sometimes but that way you know the ship won't leave port without you, The Caribbean is a playground full of great buys depending on what your fancy is but buyer be ware. If there is something you really want research it at home get ideas of prices then when you're on an island search what you want. Protect your self from thieves that sell you a bill of goods instead of crap. Also when you are in port try some of the local cuisine, it may surprise you.

My entire family has been on this cruise line and we will be going again. I just wish it were possible for the ship to pick me up at my home lol.
