Passengers Westerdam had a great time: free wine and wifi | Abroad

“Everyone says poor you. But there was no poor me. We had free internet and free wine. We had three-course dinners. There was so much choice, “says the retired nurse. If she had to describe in a word what it was like: “delicious.”

Robert Sayers also didn’t have much to complain about, except that the hash browns (potato dish) and tomato sauce had been used up a few days ago. “But that was it. It was great, really, “says the 60-year-old New Zealander.

The ship, with around ninety Dutch people on board, arrived in Sihanoukville in Cambodia on Thursday, after the Westerdam was sent away by five other countries because of fear of the new corona virus. They were allowed to disembark there for the first time.

“This was my best cruise ever,” says retired space engineer Pierre Ashby from Canada. “You usually buy a cruise and you know exactly where you stand. This was an adventure ”, he says from Sihanoukville beach where it is 27 degrees and the sun is shining.
