Pictures of Oosterdam

[edcarp]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I really like to see lots of pictures of a ship before I book a cruise. So when I was on the Oosterdam in November I made sure to take lots of pictures of the ship and my cabin.

 

Here's a link to all the pics:

Very nice pictures. We will be on the "O" in May. Sailing from Seattle to Alaska. 1st time on one of the larger ships. We have been on the Maasdam/Ryndam size ships. I am sure though that it will not take long to get use to the larger ship. Thanks again for pictures.

Great Pics of the O'Dam we will be on her in April..She looks like she is in great shape:)

Great photos of the Dutch Masters all lit up lining the walls of the Pinnacle. A truly beautiful room.

WOW!! What wonderful pictures. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Thanks so much for sharing with us. I am curious, did you travel during Thanksgiving? I was just surprised to see as many children as I did. When we were on the Zuiderdam earlier this month there were only a handful.

I am sailing the Oosterdam in March.

Thanks so much, great photos; 30 days from today I can see for myself. :D

Loved your pictures. Reminded me of our cruise on the Oosterdam last year.

Great pictures! We were on the "O" Dec 8-17

and had a wonderful time and you've captured

the spirit of the ship. Congratulations!

Great pictures and thanks for sharing. I walked around all over that ship and your pictures felt like I was walking the decks again. Many of these area's I never did take photos of so it was nice... I have to really stop looking at all these photos because I want to go again now...

Yes. We were on during Thanksgiving week, and there were lots and lots of families.

[FlorenceItaly]

We are sailing March 18-25, and I am hoping we won't be running into too many Spring Breakers. I am aware that California school breaks are in April, I think.

Great pictures!. We were on the Oosterdam at the same time and our Granddaughters were included in your photos. We did not have a copy of them on stage, thanks a lot.

Nice pictures! We were on the Oosterdam in 2004 to the western Caribbean. We're taking her again in February to the Mexican Riviera. She looks the same. You have really heightened my anticipation. 44 days and counting.

In your awesome photos I noticed the wonderful bedding. Do you know if ALL the rooms have the new bedding? I thought the SOE was not scheduled until later 2006. When on the Zuiderdam earlier this month, we did not have the nice bedding and it was a disappointment. I thought maybe it was because the SOE had not been done yet. We were in a balcony cabin, and I will be in an outside cabin on the Oosterdam, since I am sailing solo, thus solo rate :).

I didn't see any rooms without the new bedding. I think you can pretty much depend on getting the upgraded linens and such.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I won't tell my sister, so it will be a surprise. We both like nice linens. We each have our own room, so we will thoroughly enjoy the pampering, of the bedding :). On the Zuiderdam, it was just plain ole sheets, with fuzzy old blankets, lol.

Yeah, they've added the new beds/linens to the big O already - there's just some final upgrades they need to make.

[FlorenceItaly]

Oh, I am just beyond excited, lol, truly I am. This will be my sis's first HAL cruise, she's cruised RCI and Carnival previously.

Wow, I wish I had thought to do that when I was on her (and on my prior cruises).

 

Perhaps something I'll keep in mind for the future....

Thank you so much for taking the time to detail the Oosterdam. We are leaving on her this morning, December 30, for the New Year's cruise and except for an invited guest overview back when she first came to San Diego, I see that we missed seeing quite a few of the layout. Your pictures gave me a real view of the ship and I'm anxious to see them in person. By the way, I looked at each and every one you took just this morning so they would be fresh in my mind when we got onboard.

 

I'm holding back the area by the gym that you mentioned, from my husband, as he normally finds all the nooks and crannies of every ship we've been on and I told him I want him to tell me he found this secret spot.

 

Happy New Year.

Excellent job in taking photos of the lovely Oosterdam. You have an excellent eye for photography! WELL DONE. You whitted my excitement for my departure on the Oosterdam in just 1 week and 1 day. :D

 

You caught some views I didn't in my "photo tour." I may have caught a few you didn't in mine ... if you're interested, you can find it here:

Thanks Reverand Neal. I actually was happy to find your site and pictures of the Oosterdam before I left on my cruise. You inspired me to take my own and post them, so that others could benefit from mine, the way I benefitted from yours.

 

Thanks again, Ed

Thanks for the pix Ed - reminds me of home...

I'm honored ... truly honored. As you have discovered, it is a great joy to take the photos and then share them with others. They encourage and help smooth over the days between "today" and departure on our next cruises. :)

 

Thanks you!
