Type of cabin safe on Noordam

[Lara Cruising]

We will be on the Noordam within 2 weeks and would appreciate if someone can confirm what type of safe they have in the balcony cabins? We were on the Volendam last and they had the type where you needed to swipe a card with a magnetic strip. Does the Noordam have the same or PIN operated ones? Thanks in advance.

4-digit pushbutton. I didn't think there were any of card swipe kind left in the fleet!

It's been 18 months since we were on the Volendam but we needed a card for that safe. Maybe they have swapped them all out now.

 

Thanks for that - no need to take an old card with us this time.

The Zaandam, which just had a drydock last fall, had the card swipe safes on our cruise this past January. I much prefer the 4 digit code safes.

It was a 4 digit PIN code lock as of 3/10/2014.

Hey just back from the ms Noordam since yesterday.

The safe is an easy to use without magnetic card. Follow the instruction to programm your 4 digit code. Then your digit 0000 code has to be used for opening and closing the the safe.

 

The safe is reasonable in size. Outside small valuable items I could easily fit my small laptop (approx 27 cm by 18cm) inside.
