Veendam/DVD Players?

[leela8]

I haven't been on this ship in 10 years, are there DVD players in all the cabins?

There still were as if the last time I paid attention to this.

 

Some of the ships have started changing over to a larger, on demand, TV system; those have no DVD player. But I have not read that the Veendam has changed over yet.

and then there will be no more dvds

We still had DVDs in December

Ahoy!

 

We disembarked the Veendam this past Sunday and the DVD players are indeed still in place. The ship will be going in for a 'spruce up', aka, retrofit in March.

 

I was told by some of the staff that will be staying aboard to help out that it was primarily a cosmetic retrofit (e.g. carpeting, drapes, & such) plus redoing the Lido as the Lido marketplace.

 

I failed to ask about the on demand TV but it seemed like the TV's looked fairly new (flat screen LG's) that did hook up to the DVD player (at least in the interior we stayed in).

 

I don't know if they'll be spending the dough to change everything out for the on demand over since the Veendam (& Maasdam) are the only two remaining S class ships in the fleet. But perhaps they will.

 

Hopefully someone will post something regarding the actual changes made after the retrofit.

 

It be nice if they'd get rid of the Retreat area and replace with the old aft pool. Unfortunately, no such luck me thinks. ;)

 

Bon Voyage & Good Health!
