not Copper but found this on www.travelagentcentral.com and I am quoting from them

 

"Between now and 2018, Holland America Line willspend $300 million on brand enhancements for its fleet. Suites on allRotterdam-,Signature- andVista-class ships will receive new carpet and interior décor, including furniture. Plus, suite guests will find new quartz stone tops on the nightstands, desk, dresser and make-up area. Techies will appreciate the USB outlets that will be added to suite bed headboards so guests can easily recharge their electronic devices. Also new will be LED reading lights and a lighted closet rod.

More new features for suite guests include binoculars, in-cabin coffee/espresso machine and a TV system with free movies on demand, plus complimentary mimosas with room service breakfast. Oosterdam will enter dry dock in April, followed by Nieuw Amsterdam, Westerdam, Zuiderdam and Noordam throughout the year. In 2017 and beyond, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Volendam and Zaandam will receive the updates."

Copper, are the above mentioned changes going to be happening on the Zaandam too, during her April 2018 dry dock?

And when they mention suites, does that mean Vista Suites too?

The ms Koningsdam appears to have a gap in its schedule between:

 

 

  • 2018-11-21 Southern Caribbean Wayfarer (11 day)
  • 2018-12-02 to 2018-12-10 ???
  • 2018-12-10 Southern Caribbean Seafarer (11 day)

Charter or dry dock knowledge?
