Inspiration Group and the Zaandam in Oct.

[moondance75]

I am booked with my daughter (5mths) and husband and mother in law for the Zandamm in Oct and recently discovered that there is a Christian group aboard called "Inspiration Cruises". What should I expect? I am not particularly religious and this makes me nervous that the whole ship will be fundamentalist christians.. Has anyone saled with this group before? Will they dominate the ship?

Here is a link to their website. Why not call them and find out how large a group they expect to have on your sailing.

I don't know which Christian group we sailed with years ago, but there was little affect on the cruise except that they took up all of the first seating and we were traveling with children and had to take the second seating. Second seating did not mesh with the times for the kids club. Other than that it there were no problems. It was a pretty quiet ship. I heard the bars were not doing too well that cruise.

Thanks! I just did and they said 250-300 people. I gues sout of 1300 thats not too bad.. Is it? I am a first time cruiser...

A group of that size is a blip. I would not worry about it.

If nothing else the crowds at the bar will be a little lighter.:D

Shouldn't be a problem. To start off with they won't be a rowdy group and at 250-300 they won't be that noticeable. Probably will reserve a few public rooms from time to time but it will be fine.
