Rare albingirl Posted June 19, 2023 #76 Share Posted June 19, 2023 We loved the Maasdam and some of the older ships. The lanai cabins were such a hit with us. We found them to be just the right size for us, even on the long cruises. Loved the walk around Promenade deck. Nothing beats that, absolutely nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I can hear some replies from more knowledgeable cruisers. I really do not have much to compare to as not sailed recently. We just sailed Oosterdam on 12 day Med. It was a nice cruise but I thought the ship was a bit tired. My wife says next time "I want a newer ship". Not sure if newer ships have less carpeting but thought the carpets were a bit worn and dated for one. Now my question comes with "Refurbishing" and what that means, how can I find out what will or has been improved. On the Med Cruise I signed up for a 2025 cruise on Zaandam, another older ship. this cruise is to the Amazon for 27 days. I did not worry about booking as can easily be cancelled. Supposedly to be or has been updated. Any insight to what that means? Where can I find out more details? Dave, Colin @VMax1700 kindly keeps a thread on scheduled dry docks, charters, etc. He updates it periodically. I think this is the most recent one which may help you with your refurbishment question (dry dock) -https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2928708-april-2023-update-hal-dry-docks-charters-groups-onboard/#comment-65546625 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pinnacle ships when you're on board. Makes you feel like it is a different Cruise line except the staff is the same. Best of both worlds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
