a1moty Posted June 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I am looking at booking on Westerdam. I noticed that it was built in 2004 and refurbished in 2005. Does anyone know why it was refurbished so soon? I am just wondering-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&RCurt Posted June 28, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Just as the Westerdam was being finished HAL introduced the "Signature of Excellence" program, adding certain amenities and revised public areas to the fleet. Several of the upgrades were not included in the design for the Westerdam, so, she was drydocked in 2005 to add many of the upgrades. There was no problem with the ship that necessitated any repairs.

arzz Posted June 28, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Just got off the Westerdam on June 18 and I can without reservation say that she is in beautiful condition -- clean, sparkling, and well taken care of -- We had NO issues at all during our 7 days on board.

a1moty Posted June 28, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted June 28, 2006 This board is a fountain of knowledge--thanks K&RCurt for the quick reply. So, would it be safe to assume that any ship not refurbished in the last 2 years does not have the upgraded mattresses, bedding, etc.? ie: Oosterdam And thanks ARZZ==it is always nice to have first hand observations!

bepsf Posted June 28, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2006 So, would it be safe to assume that any ship not refurbished in the last 2 years does not have the upgraded mattresses, bedding, etc.? ie: Oosterdam Oosterdam has the new bedding - but not the LG flatscreen tellys, Exploration's Cafe, expanded Club HAL... ...these will be added this fall.
