First Cruise Was Fantastic

Jenn · March 25, 2005

We just returned Sunday from our first cruise. It was amazing and I can certainly see how you all get so addicted. It's the only way to travel. We did a 7 day W. Caribbean aboard the M/S Westerdam of Holland America. It was a beautiful ship, only a year or so old. The crew was fabulous, the accommodations VERY spacious (we had a verandah cabin) and the food was fantastic. I gained six pounds! HA!

I had very few, if any, complaints. We visited Half Moon Cay, Ocho Rios (not my favorite by any means), Grand Cayman and Cozumel. I'll do a ship review later on but let's just say I cannot WAIT to book another.

I am thinking the next one will have to involve my children. They would have had a blast. But it was very nice to experience our first cruise alone to see the ins and outs of cruising.

HAL was an excellent host and I would highly recomend sailing with this company and on this ship. FANTASTIC!

Hi Jenn,

I guess now you see why they call us Cruise Crazies.

I became addicted to cruising in 2003 and still can't kick the habit. :grin:

I would LOVE for the next cruise to be next year, but I think I'm pushing it. If it were just me and my husband, I'd book now. But we promised the kids we'd take them the next time. We need at least a year to save up for all of us to go! But there is definitely a cruise in our future!
