Oosterdam: Seven days, San Diego to Mexico

This was just our second cruise, so we don't have much experience
against which to compare -- but many fellow passengers said they do this
sort of thing regularly, and we listened to their opinions.

Without fear of contradiction from those who have been on this
relatively new 82,000-ton ship, this is a wonderful way to spend a week.
Food, service, ambience, service, entertainment, service, and overall
quality were at the highest level. So was service. Average age was
perhaps 55 -- there was no rock band, rock climbing wall, or rock
cocaine. Among the ~1800 passengers there may have been a dozen kids,
which the staff stored away in plastic bags until the last morning.

A great ride! I thank those here who provided guidance - this was
definitely the right choice for us.
