Nieuw Amsterdam Question

[iflyrc5]

Looking for someone that has been on the Nieuw Amsterdam recently.  We have been on most of the HAL ships but not this ship.  Wanting to know if the ocean view cabins on the main deck have one of the small "phone booth size" showers or do they have tub with a shower or have they been updated to the walk-in full size shower with the glass door like some of the other ships.   Also, has it been updated with the interactive TV system or the old TVs with the DVD?   Thanks for any current information.

I can't answer the shower question but the Nieuw Amsterdam now has the interactive TV's.

2019 photo of Main Deck OV on NA -- on HalFacts.com, shows tub with shower-curtain. CruiseDeckPlans says last DryDock was 2017 so guessing that is still the shower arrangement. Could be wrong though, with added down time due to pandemic?

So I'll again ask a question I cannot get an answer to -- how could the Nieuw Amsterdam go so long without a drydock and when is the next one scheduled?

Dry docks for maintenance are every 5 years I believe. Nobody is doing refurbs now due to lack of funds.

Plus remember that the ships were docked for over a year, so less wear and tear.
