beshears Posted January 23, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I forgot to ask, when we did HAL almost 26 years ago, they had Indonesian people working on the ship, and they were wonderful. Do they still have that? At the end of the cruise, they entertained us with the instruments that they had made, and was very intertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higntn Posted January 23, 2015 #27 Share Posted January 23, 2015 We have cruised on the Westerdam 3 times since 2011 and have enjoyed everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cabin and dining stewards are Indonesian, as well as a few other workers you are likely to run into. Lounge stewards are Filipino, and they also fill a few other posts you'll see. Each group has its own folkloric show, and one is presented alternately. If you're on a 1-week cruise you won't know which show you'll have until it's presented; some longer cruises have both. Both are worth going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beshears Posted January 23, 2015 Author #29 Share Posted January 23, 2015 RuthC, thank you for letting me know that the different personnel on the ship, do forkloric shows. That's sounds interesting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepster93 Posted January 23, 2015 #30 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Does the Westerdam have a deck one can run laps on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAOk1945 Posted January 23, 2015 #31 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Does anyone know whether the Westerdam will do the seven day 2016 Alaska cruises? After reading so many positive comments, I'm thinking about booking. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted January 23, 2015 #32 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Does the Westerdam have a deck one can run laps on? yes, above the Lido. I think it is the Observation Deck. The Promenade deck is great for walking - the deck wraps around the entire ship and allows for lovely views as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hflors Posted January 23, 2015 #33 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Does the Westerdam have the Adiago strings as part of their entertainment? Just got back from Ryndam and I love to sit and listen to classical music. Most nights they played true classical though some nights it changed to a kind of Bohemien/classical which is not my taste. Just a note. The Explorer Lounge was standing room only most of the nights. We also enjoyed the Piano player and Guitar player at Mix. We also enjoyed the band at the Ocean Bar. And we enjoyed the comic who showed us a new way of looking at ships bathrooms! Incredibly funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted January 24, 2015 #34 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Does the Westerdam have the Adiago strings as part of their entertainment? Yes, every ship in the fleet has an Adagio duo playing in an Explorers Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
