Krazy Kruizers Posted June 30, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2007 The last time we were able to do a tour of the bridge was in Oct 2001 on the Ryndam. Always loved those tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWASide Posted June 30, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I saw the Westerdam's last year... I was special. :cool: And sorry, can't go into details on how I managed it, but it was allowed and the Hotel Manager was with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomc Posted June 30, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Can't go into details on how I managed it, but it was allowed and the Hotel Manager was with me. Afterwards, did you give him the photo negatives?? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherry H Posted June 30, 2007 #10 Share Posted June 30, 2007 We toured the bridge of the Statendam on our cruise (Vancouver to New Zealand ) Oct. 2006. We weren't "special". Any passenger interested could sign up for the bridge tour. Many passengers took advantage. We were given a time and taken up in small groups. It was very informative. Yes, we were allowed to take pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chivalrygirl Posted June 30, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I was also on the Statendam last October, lots of folk signed up to visit the bridge, we didn't bother as have been on the bridge of many ships in the past. I think it was allowed because it was a long cruise and there was a lot more time with long sea days on two legs of the voyage, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryos Posted June 30, 2007 #13 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I was also on the Statendam last October, lots of folk signed up to visit the bridge, we didn't bother as have been on the bridge of many ships in the past. I think it was allowed because it was a long cruise and there was a lot more time with long sea days on two legs of the voyage, I've been on cruises with HAL of up to 30 days. So far, I haven't been able to snag a bridge tour. Hopefully things are changing now and Captains are beginning to open their bridges to guests again ... as was the case before 9-11.
