I hope the quality comes close to the original restaurant De Librije (which is 35 miles from my home). I've never been there, always full.:(

A few updates from Captain Albert today. She's by far the prettiest ship in the fleet, just spectacular design work here. It's really neat how they've gone with the modern look but still have kept it align with HAL's traditional styling. Kudos to the designers!

 

Main dining room (drooooooooooooooools):

 

 

As Captain Albert says, "Bitter balls and a Heineken is not far away!"

 

 

Queens Lounge ceiling:

 

 

Walkway along the Culinary Arts Centre

It won't be crew-only, it'll be open to guests (not sure how often / the availability) according to HAL itself.

 

I doubt it. This area is a designated CREW OPEN DECK. Access to this deck is all through crew areas. There are toilets and showers. I don't think passengers and crew will mix. Besides, if the passengers say it is used during the day...when do the crew sunbathe? At night?

 

The crew need to have their own areas and their own down time places.

I'm just repeating what HAL's posted a few times, they very well might be wrong. :)

The Queen's Lounge appears to be a very lovely room. With regard to the balcony in the room, I hope it is designed better than the balcony was in the Main Lounge of the former Noordam and Nieuw Amsterdam. If one did not have a front row seat, seeing any performances was nearly impossible.

Appears from both the rendering and the deck plans that there's only a handful of tables (about half a dozen) and they are all right on the railing so I don't expect that would be an issue :)

I stumbled across a few pictures of some art that was just installed on the ship. It's gorgeous. Now the question just becomes where is it going? My guess is Tamarind.

Is it the same as was shown on the captain Albert blog as being behind guest services?

With depicting water/ocean I am leaning toward Sel de Mer for the artwork :)

Could be a good spot... but not very French

Do you mean this one showing the shore ex desk? Don't think it's the same thing

 

[InTheWASide]

this carpet is beautiful and I've been impressed with the carpets overall on this ship (something I never thought I would say about HAL ships... the carpets are usually hideous at best)

Yes my memory playing tricks, it's going to be great fun exploring once onboard, it will be a sensory overload

If definitely will be! We plan on going through every nook and cranny in the ship. All the stairwells, all the elevator lobbies... We want to see everything :)

I also really like the carpet with the tulips.

I was looking for something else and stumbled across this page with the mother load of Koningsdam photos. Some have been seen before, but lots that haven't been. All seem to be an earlier stage of construction but some really cool pictures.

Noted this quote

"Holland America is famous for having more greenery on board than with any other cruise company "

 

X might argue that a whole lawn is reasonably green haha, either way plant life is a welcome addition
