    Well done dollop! I won a mini-cruise to Amsterdam with DFDS......for 10 people! It includes all our meals and Commodore Deluxe cabins. It should say in the WEM what exactly is included - mine did anyway. But I can't see any reason why you couldn't take your own stuff - can't see how they could stop you doing so.

    Me and 9 of my girlfriends are going on ours on 29 June from Newcastle.

    Edit: found this on the comp site which implies no meals included:
    The City Cruise Break gift certificate includes:
    2 sharing a 2 berth Inside ensuite cabin
    2 nights onboard ship
    Sightseeing tour
    Return transfers from ship to city centre
    Live entertainment onboard
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    You can take your own stuff to eat, they do have restaurants and cafes on board but not sure how much they cost. When me and my friend went we got sloshed in the bar and by the time we realised we wanted something to eat everywhere was shut, we had to manage on a tub of pringles :eek:

    When we got into Amsterdam we had no euros so went to the cash machine and it ate my friends card :eek: Apart from all that we had a great time and I'm looking forward to going again :D

    meals on board are quite expensive last time I went I think it wwas around £8 or so for breakfast. evening meals a bit varied as there is a choice /buffet /snack type bar/ a la carte . But you can take youre own food for a picnic and bar prices are fairly reasonable .I usually tak travel kettle(needs 2 point Adaptor) entertainment is free live band in one place/ piano bar/ late disco. So its usually a night out on the way, breakfast in amsterdam, late lunch in amsterdam and night out on the way back.
