Hi
I love the Eurodam and was looking at the circle of Hawaii, the only inside cabins which are left which look reasonable are 1063,1069,8037 6066, 10043 and10044 but I am worried about noise from the first 4 and the last 2 are very small. Just wondering if I should look at the Ooosterdam, similar itiniary.
Thanks

Hi
I am looking at a cruise on the Eurodam for Sept/Oct 2019, there seems to be alot of cabins unavailable seeing as its 19 months away. Is there anyway I can find out if there are any charters or groups on board?
Thanks

Hi Ruth
Thank you for the reply. Just had a look at the measurements for the spa cabins, you are right, they are small. I'll have another look at the cabins on the main deck

Hello
Thanks for all the replies. For the same price I could get IQ 10044, 10043, 10040 OR 10039
Thanks

Hello
Is there likely to be alot of noise from above for cabins 1063 or 1069?
Just wondering whether to look at Rotterdam deck instead?
Thanks

Hello
Looking at the 17 night circle of Hawaii on the Oosterdam for October 2019. There doesn't seem to be many cabin options to choose from. Any idea when more cabins will be available?
Thanks
-
Thank you for the replies. Going to take a look at the Main Deck

Hello
Please could someone recommend a quiet outside cabin with a good view on the Rotterdam.
Thank you
-
I hope the reviews are "good" as we are holding cabin 2711. One deck above and a bit further back. Rotterdam is our favorite ship. She may be older, but she has such "class"! We sailed her last year for 42 days in a lanai cabin and loved it. This time we opted for a cabin with a "shower" only and the view of the wake. Our up coming cruise is for 27 days.
Hi
Have you stayed in this cabin yet? I've booked this cabin after reading on deckplan genius that this was an excellent cabin. I have seen read that there is alot heavy engine vibration and 24/7 lighting in the covered area of the stern rail. Just wondering whether to change cabins?
Thanks
-
You will feel vibrations from the propeller in that cabin.
Are these vibrations very bad? Also believe the light is on all night on the balcony. Should I change cabins?

Hi
Has anyone stayed in cabin 2711 aft facing
Thanks

Hello
That doesn't sound very good. According to deckplan genius it is a highly desireable cabin

Hello
Please can I have opinions on cabin 2711 on the Rotterdam
Thanks

Loving the review, hope there is more to come. Glad to see you all dressed up on Gala night, you all look fabulous.:D:D

Thank you for all the positive comments. I'm going to stick with the Rotterdam and have a great cruise

Hi
Thanks for the replies. I did read the leaks and most of the other problems have been sorted. I have also read that the new carpets are stained? Would'nt have thought that was possible in such a short time. Crazy for Cats will look forward to your reviews

Hi
Sailed on the Eurodam in Dec and loved her. We are self employed and a cruise this year is going to be impossible.
Been looking for a relaxing cruise for 2019 and I thought I had found an itiniary I really liked, a 14 days Southern Caribbean on the Rotterdam. I had a look at the reviews and some videos and I thought, oh not so bad. I booked the cruise yesterday with a TA using a future cruise deposit.
I have since decided to do further research and it doesn't sound to good the state the ships in, whats she going to be like in another 18 months? I don't mind that there is limited entertainment etc, I can entertain myself. I also like that the ship is quiet.
I wondering whether to cancel and book the Niew Amsterdam, the itiniary is nearly the same as I went on last time, but at least she is in good order.
Any thoughts please
-
Hello
Just wondering if its worth taking a chance on the southern Caribbean Nov 4th to 14th, I know its still hurricane season, but I think we would be very unluck to see one that time of year, Just wondering if it would be too rainy? I know no ones got a crystal ball, Itinary is
Key West
Puerto Rico
St Thomas
St Johns
St Lucia
Curacao
Aruba
Cayman Islands
Thanks

Eurodam is often used by large groups - check the schedule posted on this HAL board which tries to track many of the large group cruises, and see if this particular date and ship is affected. Or the Volendam for that matter too, but chances are much higher for the Eurodam sharing space with large groups.
I think a Panama itinerary is better on the smaller ship since it is easier to move from side to side, front to back so you can take in all views. But there are plenty of open viewing spots on the Eurodam too - just takes longer to reach them.
Agree, the Tamarind restaurant gives the Eurodam an edge.
Location of the interior Pinnacle on the Volendam is of no concern for us since it is dark in the evenings anyway - no window views and the overall space and graciousness of the setting works just fine for us. But the Volendam is such a classic "old" HAL ship my own choice would be to keep sailing them as long as they are still with us.
Final answer: either. Great help, right? Are the itineraries the same?
However, I put the Voldendam right up there with the Zaandam as our two most favorite HAL ships.
Itinaries the same except Volendam has an extra day at Aruba

Hello
I've sailed on the Eurodam and loved her. Just looking at a Panama cruise, just wondering how the Volendam compares to the Eurodam, I know shes smaller. Would this be an advantage for this cruise?
Thanks

Hi
Eurodam is 16 nights and Oosterdam is 17 nights. The only difference in the itiniary seems to be a night stop in Mexico on the way back
