Oosterdam questions

[williamson_ja]

1.Do the staterooms on the Oosterdam have a curtain between the bed area and the couch? Most other cruiselines have this, but the pictures of the O didn't look like there were any privacy curtains. I hope they do. :)

 

2.What ages is the loft for? I have a 12 yr old that is confused as to which area she would belong in.

 

3. Can someone give me an idea of what activities they have going for kids on sea days? We have teens and little kids as well, so any information you have for pretty much any age of kids would be applicable.

 

thanks!

Don't have any children so can not answer the question about the Loft and activities for children.

 

There are no curtains between the bed and sofa/seating area.

I cannot answer most of your questions definitively regarding the Oosterdam, though I was on her in May 2008. I believe some of the staterooms have the privacy curtains you are asking about, but maybe not all... I do have photos of many of the staterooms on her though and you can see for yourself that some do have the curtains: http://joanjett2000.topcities.com/HAL/Oosterdam/index.html

 

I can send you to the Club HAL Page I have here for more info on it. http://joanjett2000.topcities.com/HAL/Oosterdam/Club-Hal-Info.html this info is the same for all th HAL ships.

The Cat VA-B-C-D-E-F & VH cabins DO have a small curtain in between the bed and the couch but, as you can see by the pic, if you let it out, it barely covers the "pillow area" of the bed - It does not go all the way across

 

The Loft kids area, age wise, starts at 13 yrs old (13-17) Check with Ships Services @ 800-541-1576 if they allow 12-yr olds in

Just an FYI, some of the staterooms do have the curtains between the sofa and the beds. Here is one that Essiesmom took of E 1115 just this past February

As you can see in Copper 10-8's photo and the other photo -- the curtain comes out about 2 feet from the wall -- so the areas are not really separated.

I really don't see the point of that little curtain. lol. Thanks for the information

[Krazy Kruizers]

I agree -- having looked into those cabins I could never figure out what the purpose of that little curtain was.

 

Maybe so that the sleeping people wake up they don;t see the face of the person sleeping on the sofa and vice versa.

Our Balcony Cabin (5122) on the "O" had a curtain between the bed and couch that was longer than those pictured, I would say about 5 ft long. (as from the wall outward into the room)

There is a curtain across the narrow hallway to the bathroom/closet area separating these from the rest of the cabin, meaning the couch if there is on, the vanity and the bed. The curtain is floor to ceiling length and darkening. It's nice to draw when one person is in bed and the other person is out and about. When they come "home" and open the cabin door, people in the hallway can't see into the main part of the room. Also, when one person gets up to go to the bathroom at night, because the lightswitch is outside the bathroom, there is a fair amount of light that comes out of the bathroom so the curtain helps shade the bed areas form this.

 

It's like this for inside and outside category rooms. I don't know about balcony rooms.

In our suite there was a door between the main room and the dressing room but no curtains separated the living/sleeping area.
