FrankieSue Posted January 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2023 We were recently on the Volendam, and on Promenade deck, the baths had been replaced by nice, new, modern showers… anyone knows if the same is true for the Zaandam? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily, the balcony cabins still have the old shower in the bath but the ocean view on deck 3 (Promenade deck) had been updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanmom Posted January 25, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2023 We were in 6113 (Vista Suite) a few weeks ago for the holiday cruise. It had a jacuzzi tub/shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Chris Posted January 25, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) After a 2018 drydock, at least some Zaandam category D outside staterooms on Lower Prom Deck had the shower installed. We chose one for upcoming New England/Newfoundland cruise in September.

Navybikermom Posted January 25, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Cabin 3405, ocean view, had a tub. It was pretty dinged up, but functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV8rix Posted January 25, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 25, 2023 You can tell which ones have the new showers by looking at the deck plan. Those with showers are marked with an asterisk. This pertains to the OVs only. The interiors still have the old showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey65 Posted January 25, 2023 #13 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I just got off the Zaandam on Saturday. Our cabin 1919 still had the old tub. Friends on 3 also had tub. All were OV rooms. Also, HA was in the process of replacing old tv's for larger, newer ones. They never made it to Dolphin Deck while we were on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that funny the deckplan of the Volendam do not show that and I only knew that 3365 had an upgraded shower-only from @Vict0riann's pics on Halfacts.

I found this on HAL website some time ago, and saved it! "IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION: This is to advise guests who've booked Ocean-view staterooms on board Zaandam that during the April 2018 dry dock, the bathrooms in the below staterooms will be updated to a shower-only configuration: Lower Promenade Deck: D3331 - D3370 Main Deck: C2564 - C2647 Please note, this change does not affect all Oceanview staterooms, only the specific staterooms noted above."

We recently stayed in 1838 on Volendam and it had the wonderful full size shower. Unfortunately I believe our next cruise on Zaandam will have the slippery bathtub instead of the shower only.

DoorCounty Posted January 26, 2023 #19 Share Posted January 26, 2023 If you put the rubber mat in the tub, it’s not slippery. I wish they could upgrade all cabins with walk-in showers. Even tho, I’m 5’11,” I hate tub/shower combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
