Maasdam Photos

[Vict0riann]

There have been a couple of threads about our Atlantic Adventurer cruise which began on Halloween, but I thought I might post some photos of the ship. Here's our itinerary:

 

 

All the ports were amazing - I felt it could have been called the "Voyage of the Volcanoes" - we saw volcanoes in the Canaries, also Mts. Etna and Vesuvius, and passed Stromboli (during the night). I love volcanoes, at least from a distance.

 

Maasdam leaving Fort Lauderdale:

 

 

Halloween decorations at the entrance to the dining room:

MS Maasdam is very like MS Volendam, but I prefer her central atrium decoration:

 

 

And of course, there are flowers everywhere:

 

 

And colourful artwork:

Great pics! Love Maasie

Thanks, Copper, I realize now I didn't take nearly enough photos of the ship - I was too busy enjoying all she had to offer. I have lots more "mental shots", unfortunately I can't upload them to Photobucket!

The first show in the Showroom at Sea was "Bob Mackie's Broadway". I think this is from that show:

 

 

And the Showroom at Sea set up for the presentation of medallions at the Mariners' Reception.

Great photos, Ann. Always loved the green crystal atrium decoration. Still prefer the S class ships.

Thanks, Gail, I'm hoping that there may be some other cruisers who have photos to post: please join in! :)

We were in a balcony (make that verandah!) stateroom on deck 10 (Navigation Deck). We were under the Lido overhang, I was a bit worried about that, but it was great. We were on the starboard side, and I think we had the best views at least half of the time!

 

 

The night before our first Caribbean stop we got our beach towels:

 

 

Our view was slightly overshadowed by the Lido overhang:

Great photo's, thanks for posting them.

Some of our favourite places.

 

The Rotterdam Dining Room:

 

 

The bar in the Crow's Nest:

 

 

The Mix (piano bar on the left), where we attended most Sip and Savours (DH insisted on calling it "Sip and Save" - at least it wasn't "Scratch and Sniff"!:)

Some outdoor photos:

 

 

 

One of the lanai staterooms on LP deck:

What wonderful photos. I so appreciate you sharing them with us.

 

I do love that 'dam' ship. :D One of my two favorites.

Welcome Back.

Beautiful Venetian (I think) glass in the Pinnacle Grill:

Now I seem to be moving into the realm of food!:D Here are some photos of the Gala Luncheon on the day of the Officers' Ball - with the most amazing ice sculptures:

 

 

 

And the dessert tables:

I am loving your pictures.

The last time we were on the Maasdam was in 2012 and I am so glad to see that they have gotten rid of those stupid tables in the show room.

[Vict0riann]

Some of the fixed tables are still there, but other than that, just a lot of chairs in the front of the stage.

If you mean the Delft inlay tables, I loved them!!!! :)

Amazing that this refit was only a couple years ago and that fabric on the seats (benches and chairs) looks so incredibly faded and dated. The other S Class ships looked better on this portion of the refit. (Veendam excluded). Statendam's is gorgeous but certainly not for everyone.

The chairs' fabric has a nap and a rich feel; I think maybe the photo flash or general lighting causes the poor representation in the picture. I was also on this cruise and sat in many areas of the show lounge for various reasons (shows, afternoon lectures, shore excursion meeting place... ) and I can assure you that the furnishings are not shabby. m--

Good to hear. Thanks. :)

Glad to hear. Does the color look that faded though (looking at the banquet seating primarily)... or is it just evidence that I REALLY dislike that color

Your pics are fantastic!

 

I love the glass in the PG on this ship and yes, you were right it is Venetian - Murano glass actually :)

 

the caviar is making me hungry.

 

Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us. They are wonderful!
