Cruising newbie here - need some info

[VartanGrl]

Hi everyone, I'm sorry if my questions have already been asked before, but I'm going on my very first cruise ever in October. I'm doing the Mexican Riviera on the Veendam and was wondering how to find out which excursions are better than others (there are 3 snorkling ones in Cabo alone). I've been reading some of the threads and would like to purchase a beverage card in advance but can't seem to find on the HAL website where to do it. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

I am doing the same cruise on the Veendam on the 10/10/2009 sailing date.
I can't be of much help with the shore excursions because the last time I did this itinerary was with carnival in 2001. As far as the drink cards go to the Holland America web site and under the For Booked Guest drop down menu select onboard gifts.

No problem, glad to help. There is a thread for this cruise under roll calls. There is only two other posters besides my self, but maybe one of them may have some suggestions for the snorkel tours.
