Eurodam or Zuiderdam?

[chrislo]

We are booking a Christmas cruise for this year and both the Eurodam and Zuiderdam sail the same itinerary 1 day apart.  Any recommendations for one ship over the other.  Price is similar so that doesn't influence my decision.

 

We are looking to book a balcony for 3 adults if that makes a difference.

 

Thank you

Eurodam will have more entertainment and eating options. Otherwise no real differences.

Eurodam has the Tamarind specialty dining venue which we like.

Zuiderdam has a great crew IMO.  Also deck 5 aft facing cabins are fantastic for scenic cruises.

We have enjoyed extended cruises on both ships (18-days on Eurodam and 12-days on Zuiderdam) and the only difference is the addition of Tamarind on Eurodam. Enjoy your cruise!

We've sailed on both and I see no differences that would sway me either way.  

 

Have fun!

This is rare for me to suggest the Zuiderdam after spending more time on the Eurodam than any other ship but the "Z" will have just returned from a 2 week dry dock, ready for her upcoming  world cruise. a few days into the new year.  Also Christmas Eve will be a sea day and I believe much more festive and dressy than a port day.  Can't go wrong with either.

Christmas Eve and Day at sea could be a better experience than Christmas Day in a port.  But, regardless, having experienced both situations, HAL does an excellent job in providing a Christmas celebration on every holiday cruise that I have sailed.
