Zandaam sailing 11-30-01

[Jean]

I will be sailing on a 10 day Caribbean sailing on the Zaandam Nov.30-01-I am not looking for any plumbing glitches either--
Can you give me any ideas of good tours in St. Kitts-St.Lucia--Bonaire--and Isle de Margarite-
I have sailed on HAL a few times before and have always found crew--to front desk helpful and nice-
It will be my first time on the Zaandam and I am as excited about it as usual--It does not match the excitement of my very first cruise (Skyward-in the seventies) but still comes a close second--

Zaandam is a GREAT ship. There are MANY cubby-holes to read, visit, listen to music etc. Our favorite haunt was "THe Crows Nest" for our pre-dinner glass of wine. The public area where we found, usually, an empty space was on upper Promenade near the piano; the classical piped-in music was NICE! The library provides a nice area for writing -except that you are right in front of the windows and the sea in mezmerising!! It is notable that there are MANY many areas for solitude; you just have to explore to find "yours" -Enjoy! Anne from Colorado

Hi Anne,
I too am booked on the Zaandam for 11/30/01. I'll be NOT celebrating a milestone birthday- I'm really looking forward to the cruise- sailed 10 years ago on RotterdamV for the holiday cruise....Maybe we can get together for a drink! Take care. Debbe
