I don't think any of our lockable nightstands ever actually had the key in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I encountered a missing key, or broken lock, on the bed-side drawers, the attendants arranged a repair. The newer ships have a much larger room safe and, yes, the locking drawers are of less interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Btimmer Posted April 30, 2019 #31 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Several years ago we did 60 days on the Maasdam to and around Australia and loved it. Then we did the inaugural 48 day EXC voyage to French Polynesia and thoroughly loved that one. A few months later we rejoined the ship in Singapore for a 3 week RT voyage to Sri Lanka and loved that. We're now booked for a couple more months onboard from Seattle to Sydney starting in July, 2019 and we're looking forward to it. It's a nice older ship with great itineraries and that's what draws us back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confident that she will deliver a great onboard experience. Edited April 30, 2019 by Cruise4food 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of choices in the Lido including most of what is also on offer in the MDR. You will not starve 😀😋. Do you know who the Piano Player was onboard during your cruise and (pushing this I know) did they say if they were at the start or reaching the end of their tour. We are sailing on Maasdam in July and we love the Piano Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at the very start of his contract (if fact he was a few days late as he missed the Brisbane sailing due to flight connection problems). He seemed to be very popular with the evening bar crowd.

aliaschief Posted May 2, 2019 #38 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Presently on board Maasdam and AC plumbing all working fine. Great crew, food and entertainment is pretty good. Great guest lecturers and chefs. Love this Grande Dame of the seas. Five more sea days until San Francisco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liketraveling Posted May 2, 2019 #40 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I was on the Maasdam through the Panama Canal two years ago. We did have a flood in our cabin when we arrived but Hal took care of it and we were compensated for the Inconvience. Service and food were awesome. We did have a problem with the A/C and they gave us a fan that helped make it comfortable. I do find on ships it is either too hot or too cold. No matter what ship. So I adapt. with that being said I would not hesitate to sail on the Maasdam again. The Maasdam is sailing out of my home port doing 3 3 week itineary’s To Alaska. unfortunately my schedule will not allow me to be away for three weeks right now. If I could get away I would do it in a Heartbeat. My brother sailed on her in Nov from Tahiti to New Zealand and he said the food was great, the service was great. He really liked the Exc Depth experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
