Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Strange things seem to be happening! On our Zuiderdam cruise in June this year, I was surprised to find that the forward Observation Deck (deck 11, forward from the Retreat) was closed to the public and marked Crew Only. I have never seen this before on a HAL ship. On the Rotterdam last year, this area was definitely open. I was never a fan of that area because the wrap-around tinted glass made it useless for taking pictures (except on the fondly remembered Prinsendam and Maasdam which had no glass, only rails). But, in the past it has sometimes been a useful dark area at night for an astronomy lecturer to point out stars and galaxies to groups on trans Pacific cruises. Can't think why they would close these areas except maybe staff shortages are making it attractive to close little used deck spaces to reduce the workload of cleaning and tidying them?
