Northcliffe12 Posted April 18, 2019 Author #27 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hi Jim - thanks so much for all your trouble and the information and photos you have uploaded. It is really appreciated. My husband can’t believe someone actually on the ship has replied! Would it be possible to get a photo of a daily Where and When? Even just the one page which shows the times of entertainment in each venue which is usually in a box on the third page or thereabouts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ew101 Posted April 21, 2019 #30 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) This is great news there is still at least a trio in Oceans on the Veendam. There was a quartet on the Rotterdam last month who would gladly play Ballroom/Latin dance music. Edited April 21, 2019 by ew101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a security team investigating some damage near an elevator and one of the security personnel was wearing a body camera. Not sure how long that’s been in use but it’s the first time I’ve seen that. JimSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted April 25, 2019 #42 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Jim, probably no way for you to know unless you're staying in one, but wondering if the Veendam Neptune suites got the upgrades that Maasdam and the four "R"-class ships received?

I haven’t seen a Neptune nor met anyone staying in one. I’m in a C outside cabin on main deck and we have a new chair at the desk.

senorjim Posted April 27, 2019 #44 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Thanks, Jim! Have they offer any laundry specials like fill a bag type deal?I think it’s $30 a bag. We get laundry included as a 4 star benefit. JimSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto68 Posted April 30, 2019 #45 Share Posted April 30, 2019 HI! I'm Silvia from Italy. I wolud like to know from who sailed on Veendam if this ship has good seakeeping abilities. Our stateroom is in the mid main deck but we suffer a little sea sickness and in the past we always sailed on larger ships....Thanks in advance!

madera1 Posted May 1, 2019 #46 Share Posted May 1, 2019 We were last on the Veendam several years ago but have booked a Dec cruise to Cuba. When we sailed there were buckets catching water leaking from several spots in the ceiling. The ship now looks beautiful and hopefully is in good shape. Looking forward to other posts about your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
