Cruise Critics Meet N Greet Party and Other Cruise Pictures from the Oosterdam
This cruise review starts before the cruise begins with a pre-cruise party by a number of friends who meet regularly in the Cruise Critics forums and message boards.
After spending so much time in the cruise critics forums, everybody felt like they were old friends meeting for the first time. It was great. Every time there was a shore excursion or some other activities there were always at least another few couples doing the same thing. It made for a whole lot of fun.
So without further ado, here are a bunch of pictures of the activities, friends, and nonsense that we experienced aboard HAL's Oosterdam cruise to the Mexican Riviera with our cruise critic friends.

 Oosterdam deck photos. That's Kathy down there unsuspecting I am taking her photo. |
 Kathy enjoying a dip in the hot tub on the Oosterdam. |
 Nothing quite as relaxing as a hot tub full of bubbles as the ship gently sways back and fro. |
 Kathy showing off her bathing suit perhaps. |

| Judging by how rare this meat looks I would say it was something Kathy ordered. She likes it bloody. | More pictures of the wait staff and the passengers dancing and partying. That is a light stick Kahty has. | Everyone got one of those light sticks that you break and they make light. Odd but fun I suppose. | |

| Everybody seems to be having so much fun. | The traditional waiters dance on the last night at dinner. | Maybe he is right I had tooo much fun |
