Rare Copper10-8 Posted December 7, 2009 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2009 From the HAL blog: Rotterdam’s Signature of Excellence Upgrade Continues Geene | December 7th, 2009 Here on Rotterdam the Signature of Excellence upgrade dry dock continues as our sea lions near the Lido pool are unimpressed by all the bustle going on around them. The Passenger Fitness Center was turned into the tailor shop, and the photo gallery is now serving as the upholsterers’ workshop where all new cushions for the showroom at sea are being fabricated.

Rare Copper10-8 Posted December 7, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Rotterdam Dry Dock Continues Nicole | December 3rd, 2009 Jan-Volkert Leeuwenberg, Rotterdam’s purser, sent us this note and pictures from dry dock. Greetings from sunny but windy Freeport, Bahamas! These photos are from Rotterdam’s dry dock in Freeport. After a couple of days removing the “good and old” it is time to build the “new and exciting” Rotterdam. Kind regards, Jan-Volkert Leeuwenberg Purser, ms Rotterdam Rotterdam in dry-dock at Freeport, Bahamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim1 Posted December 7, 2009 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Not sailing on the 16th is not an option. The workers are still staying in the hotel due to all the works going on at the stern, though I believe they will be moving onto the ship later this week. There is a shuttle bus running to and from the hotel, however my other half has been working lots of long days and is mostly having to hop in a taxi to get back to the hotel as he's been too late for the shuttle. He's not really gone into THAT much detail as to what he's doing, but he's been working in the show lounge, crows nest bar and also working on putting in a LED wall in the atrium (I think!?) somewhere. Anyway, for purely selfish reasons, that ship HAS to sail back on the 16th so that he catches his flight and gets home on the 17th - I'm counting down the days! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casavaha Posted December 7, 2009 #6 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I will be embarking on the ship the 16th, regardless. Of course if it does not arrive in FLL, then I will not. If they have too skip some ports, they can start with Aruba, PR and the private island. Just don't leave out Colombia and San Blas Islands. The work looks like it is coming along well. They learned alot from the Veendam. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCruzer Posted December 8, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks for the updates. We are sailing on the Rotterdam on Jan. 4th out of San Diego. Hopefully, if there are any problems, they will be worked out by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
