The Zuiderdam.. return to Vancouver...

Formal Night...

Our last day on board the Zuiderdam. We feel well and truly ready to leave the ship and move on to San Francisco. The cruise has been a great experience, but would not be our first choice again for a holiday. We both found the ship itself to be fine, the service of the meal staff and cabin stewards was excellent, but the continual push by Holland America to fleece you of every dollar you possess gets a bit tiring and we also felt that their excursions were way overpriced and nowhere near the standard we experienced with Scenic Tours. We enjoyed the variety shows on board and having the verandah stateroom was excellent. It was compact and we would not have wanted anything smaller but we did not feel the need for any more space either. The balcony/verandah certainly made ship life enjoyable and was great for spotting whales and watching the scenery pass by.

Our cabin stewards did a fantastic job, we hardly ever saw them and every day there was a new “towel creation” on our bed.
One of the many "Towel Creations"...
