gdy0354 Posted October 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Other than size and capacity, what are the main differences between Oosterdam and Veendam? Food venues, pool, entertainment venues, casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted October 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Three differences to start off with: Cabins in the same category are larger on the Veendam. There is no aft pool on the Veendam. Stewards on the Veendam, because it is smaller, get to know your preferences faster and better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted October 21, 2018 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Oosterdam will have BB King, and Retreat cabanas. Veendam won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Belle Posted October 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Veendam in May still had a combo for dancing in the Ocean Bar. The last time we were on the O the dance music in the Ocean Bar was only when the band didn’t have a previous engagement. It was dead most of the time and the bar staff wasn’t happy about the change.

OlsSalt Posted October 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Two elevator banks on the Veendam; three on the Oosterdam. Signature suites (mid inbetween size) on the Oosterdam and only Neptune or Verandah on the Veendam. Easier to get around on the Veendam - longer walks on the Oosterdam. Nicer main dining room layout on the Veendam. More Lido variety on the Oosterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
