Nieuw Amsterdam Dry Dock

I read that the NA is going to dry dock in a few days. Anyone know what will change/be added?

Been on the NA 3 times, so interested in knowing. When we were on it a few weeks ago, I heard that the casino was being made smaller.

I debarked Nieuw Amsterdam today. They already started replacing some carpets during the last week and it looked really nice with new, plush padding. I could see they worked on it overnight each night in the elevator areas. It was a dream to walk on because the padding was so plush. It was also very attractive carpeting (a big improvement from the old carpeting IMHO).

I would suspect they are going to redo the croes next, put in the music walk and put the new logo on the smoke staxk

They are adding Lincoln Center, Billboard, and Gallery Bar. Does the Gallery Bar replace the nightclub?

Northern Lights will be gone and the Gallery Bar will be a reality. I think the Bar in the Crows nest will give way to the Dutch Cafe

What is the Dutch Cafe ?

IIt was first introduced on The Koningsdam and now is being put on the larger ships.

On the K'dam, it's a small eating area in the Atrium area [can't remember which public deck 1-3] that serves Dutch specialties during the day. Pea soup, bitterballen, etc.

The Dutch Cafe on the Konigsdam is heavenly with its sandwiches, pea soup, and decadent desserts particularly the Konigsbol--a cream puff filled with chantilly cream and covered in chocolate! They have snacks, breakfast items and lunch along with a bar and coffee drinks. One of our favorite places on the ship due to its decor and choices.

Thank you for the info about the Dutch Cafe. Sounds great.

Looking forward to hearing about her changes when she reemerges this week.

Is it possible they are doing away with the screening room? It looks like it has a new name on an updated deck plan.

On the webpage the Screening Room is still showing on Deck 3. Hopefully that's the case. Are you seeing a different layout somewhere? And I haven't read anything about the Dutch Cafe being added to the N.A., but that would be wonderful.

Yes, they have updated the deck plan on the travel agent website. It says that space is now called the Tasman Room, which I can only guess will be another meeting/conference room.

Never knew a separate travel agent site existed. Any chance you could share it?

I better not, just in case it isn't ready for public viewing. I have no idea if there are any rules to that sort of thing. But I'm sure if it's on that site, it will soon be on the main consumer site, especially given that the dry dock ends in two days.

Gotcha. I'll keep an eye out for the revised deck plans for sure.

She has left Freeport and is en route to Fort Lauderdale!

Is the Dutch Cafe on Eurodam? Anyone know?

Just the Explorations Cafe, I believe. The Grand Dutch Cafe is currently exclusive to the Koningsdam. If I am incorrect, somebody please correct me.

Crows Nest bar most likely like Westerdam- combo Explorations Cafe and bar

Sadly, I can confirm that there is no Grand Dutch Cafe on Eurodam, having just returned from it.

My understanding is that it would be exclusive to the Pinnacle class ships. The current deck plans for the N.A. on the HAL site don't show one there.
