Holland america offers free Verandah Upgrade on Winter/Spring 2004 Caribbean Cruises
Seattle, July 8, 2003 – Holland America is offering free upgrades to Deluxe Verandah Outside staterooms or Superior Verandah Suites on winter and spring 2004 Caribbean cruises aboard the line’s two Vista-class ships, ms Zuiderdam and ms Oosterdam. Guests must book their cruise by August 31, 2003 to take advantage of this special-value promotion.
For example, guests who book an outside stateroom will be upgraded to a Deluxe Verandah Outside stateroom at no additional cost, and guests reserving a Category A Deluxe Verandah Outside stateroom will be upgraded to a Superior Verandah Suite. The verandahs are true balconies with plenty of space for guests to lounge, sunbathe, have breakfast or enjoy the passing scene in complete privacy.
“Holland America is offering the perfect opportunity for guests to enjoy the enhanced experience of cruising in a stateroom with a verandah,†said Joseph Slattery, vice president of marketing, North America, Holland America Line.
The verandah promotion applies to the Zuiderdam’s Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises departing Jan. 3 through May 29 and the Oosterdam’s Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings January 4 through April 11, 2004. All are seven-day cruises sailing roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale.
