Veendam- South America Explorer 12/3/2013

I may write a review, but wanted to post about the cruise and say hello to Meet and Greet group.

 

The cruise was eventful. There were some challenges, but all handled well.We did not have any of the problems stated on some of the threads.

 

I did have some problrms with food in the MDR. It was way undercooked and no flavor. The Lido's food was much better. ALL of the deserts were wonderful.

 

The meet and greet was well attended. Thanks to all. This was a wonderful group of people.

Thanks! We enjoyed our Jan 10 cruise from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires. We were pretty satisfied with MDR.

 

We felt there may have been fewer menu choices but thought that may have been caused with being in the SA market for the season.

 

For the first time ever the orange juice was quite sour. Chilean oranges?

 

Overall, it was a great cruise and we would not hesitate to sail again on the MS Veendam. Of course we have no problem with sailing on any Dam ship.

 

The South America/Antarctica cruise should be on any cruisers bucket list.

 

MS Zandam will be the next Hal ship for this itininary.
