For those looking to cruise in style Holland America is an excellent choice.  The Zuiderdam was great.  Beautiful décor, great food, and relaxing atmosphere.  Holland America caters to those who want to relax and want some pampering.  

     I sailed the Western Caribbean which stops in Key West, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Holland America’s private island Half Moon Cay in the Bahamas.  These ports have something for everybody.  They offer some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the world.  Visit Margaritaville in Key West, Mayan Ruins in Cozumel, swim with Sting Rays in Grand Cayman and relax on a floating mat in Half Moon Cay.  

     At sea take part in a game of Bingo, enjoy a day at the spa, do some shopping duty free, or relax in a lounge chair on deck and get some sun.  On board you will also find a coffee shop, card room, golf simulator, tennis and volleyball court, a gym with exercise classes, an art gallery, 24 hour room service, and a movie theater.  The Lido is buffet style casual dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner offering The Wok, Deli, The Bistro, Italian, The Sweets, and a Grill.  In the evening whether it is casual, informal, or formal night you will enjoy gourmet cuisine in the main dining room or for an additional $20.00 per person you can dine at the Odyssey.  The Odyssey offers the finest wines and fresh Northwest dishes.  After dinner enjoy a live show in the theater or try your luck in the casino.
