Westerdam Question

[jshape]

We are considering a SE Asia cruise on the Westerdam next January. We have not cruised on Holland America before. One of the features we most appreciate on cruises is the ability to have an outdoor dining/cocktail venue available. This is a common feature on Oceania, Azamara, and many NCL ships that we have cruised on. Does the Westerdam have such a venue? Thanks in advance.

You may sit on the aft, outside area of Lido Deck (Deck 9) and bring food from the buffet. Many people do. There is a bar there, with bar waiters. But if you are asking is there a sit down restaurant with waiter service, no, there isn't. No HAL ship has that.
