Yes, it is early to talk about Christmas travel plans; but sometimes it is better to be in-the-know
ahead of time so you don't miss out on a great adventure!
ahead of time so you don't miss out on a great adventure!
Holland America has a Christmas cruise along the Mexican Riviera which departs from San
Diego on December 18th and returns on December 26th. It is well worth your time to check it
out now! It's just eight days and you stop in Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, La Paz and Cabo San
Lucas.
Having experienced the trip last Christmas, I know firsthand that there are certainly several
things almost anyone will enjoy! The port in San Diego is a joy from which to depart and
begin your cruise. San Diego is a very interesting city, so if you can, spend some time before
or after your cruise to at least explore the harbor area. There are lots of great restaurants
and a wonderful walk along the marina with many interesting shops and scenic sights.

Holland America is so organized that you embark with the feeling
of being taken care of right from the get-go! The ship leaves at
5:00 p.m. and the city is so beautiful with all the Christmas lights
on the tall buildings and along the harbor. This exquisite vista
makes for a wonderful "Bon Voyage" picturesque setting.
The Holland America ship that leaves from San Diego is the MS
Oosterdam, and it is so beautifully decorated. Just about
everywhere you turn there is a decorated Christmas tree, plus, a
huge collection of Christmas decorations of all sorts. The ship also
has a great art collection that is on display all year, but at
Christmas everything sparkles with a festive flair.
The first day is at sea, but it takes that day to find everything that
is available to the guests. Just getting orientated to where your
cabin is and where you want to go takes awhile. But it is fun to be
adventuresome and check out the whole ship. You certainly will
get your exercise for the day if you do it. The MS Oosterdam is
classed as a mid-size ship and has a passenger capacity of about
1900 guests. The people that work on the ship are all attuned to
you no matter where you are on the ship. Even if someone is
sweeping the floor they will stop and ask if they can help you, just
in case you are a wee bit lost!

The Verandah Staterooms are an adequate size for one or two (at 254 sq. ft.). Three or more
might be a stretch, but it could possibly work with children (not football player-sized children -
just little ones!) There is plenty of closet space and if you need more hangers just ask your
steward. They are at your beck and call so don't hesitate to ask questions. If you believe in
tipping, then it's a good idea to start off your cruise with a $20.00 tip for your room steward.
They work very hard to please you and if they know you understand that and appreciate their
hard work they try even harder to make your journey a special one.
