Just when I think I have a few weeks at home to catch up on stuff around the house, see friends and maybe catch up on my fave tv shows, I get a call to go on another adventure! This time, I gte to hit the high seas with my new friends at Holland America Lines!
I’m super excited to be on this re-launch of HAL’s Caribbean Route! The seven-day cruise is from Oct. 18 – 25, 2015, and I’ll be sailing roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, visiting the ports of Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; and Half Moon Cay, Holland America’s award-winning, number-one rated private Bahamian island. This will be Eurodam’s first Caribbean cruise of the season, and I’ll be among an exclusive group to have the opportunity to enjoy and welcome the ship’s return to the region.
As a traveler who focuses on food, I also get to indulge in the Eurodam’s culinary features. Holland America Line’s esteemed Culinary Council is comprised of the line’s Master Chef and Council Chairman Rudi Sodamin, and renowned international chefs Mark Best, Jonnie Boer, David Burke, Elizabeth Falkner and Jacques Torres. These luminaries provide guidance, advice and impart their knowledge regarding onboard menus and culinary offerings. Their own dishes are served nightly in the ship’s main dining room.
In addition to the main restaurant, the ship also boasts alternative venues including the award-winning Pinnacle Grill featuring Pacific Northwest specialty entrees; Tamarind with exotic Pan-Asian fare; Canaletto, an Italian eatery that centers around family-style dining; and An Evening at Le Cirque at the Pinnacle Grill that re-creates the legendary New York eatery’s whimsical ambiance and dining experience onboard. The ship also features several casual dining venues, including the Lido Restaurant with a buffet; Dive-In with gourmet burgers and hot dogs; and Slice for delicious pizza. I can’t wait to try all their yummy vegan options!
So be sure to follow me on all my social media channels: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Periscope, Vine and more to follow my adventures on the Eurodam on my Caribbean Holland America cruise soon!
