sail7seas Posted December 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2011 If we have done this before, it's been a long time so anyone interested in doing it again? Which ship(s) are your favorites? For us, it's Maasdam and Noordam. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangerinebunny Posted December 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2011 For us, it's the Zaandam. But I'm more than willing to try them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcook052 Posted December 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2011 While I've only been on two HAL crusies I'll vote for Eurodam as my favorite of the two though am hoping to try lots of other HAL ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraic Posted December 23, 2011 #4 Share Posted December 23, 2011 My wife's favorite is the Amsterdam but for me it is the Prinsendam. In June we will be on the Prinsendam for the forth time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innlady1 Posted December 23, 2011 #5 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Same as you, Sail. Maasdam and Noordam. Almost 100 days and they've all been on those two ships! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelo7 Posted December 23, 2011 #6 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Eurodam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising-along Posted December 23, 2011 #7 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Right now of the 6 different HAL ships I've sailed on, my favorite is still the Rotterdam, with the Amsterdam a close 2nd. I'm looking forward to sailing the Maasdam for the first time in 4 months. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsot Posted December 23, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Prinsendam for favorite, but Zaandam, Westerdam and Eurodam have all been good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted December 23, 2011 #9 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Another vote for Noordam and Maasdam.:)Looking forward to watching Maasdam sail out of Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted December 23, 2011 #10 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Amsterdam, Nieuw Amsterdam and Eurodam. But, any DAM ship will do. The only one I did not like was the Westerdam II. (This is the ship that was originally the HOMERIC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches from georgia Posted December 23, 2011 #11 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Rotterdam, then Volendam. Been on others, but like the R ships the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'The Bear' Posted December 23, 2011 #12 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Maasdam and Noordam --- By the end of February we will have sailed a little over 100 days with HAL and, like Sheila, just on those two ships. I'd love to try the rest though, I'm sure that they're great! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted December 23, 2011 #13 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I suppose my favorite was probably the Rotterdam, as I had well over 100 days on her. But then they had to go and ruin her aft, put in The Mix, and remove my "office", so now I don't want to sail her anymore. I do think that one more cruise on the Prinsendam and she could be my new favorite. Although nothing will ever replace the old Rotterdam V in my heart. She was a beauty for the ages.

Spinner2 Posted December 23, 2011 #14 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Maasdam. After that . . . the Maasdam. :) But if the itinerary we want is on another DAM ship, that's where you'll find us. And sometimes if the DAM ship is local (San Diego or Los Angeles) and the price is right for a last-minute trip, we'll go regardless of which ship. Any day aboard is better than a day elsewhere.

Koshlong Posted December 23, 2011 #15 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Noordam and Veendam.........but give me time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtl513 Posted December 23, 2011 #16 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I pick one for each class. Of the nine ships we've been on I like Nieuw Amsterdam Noordam Amsterdam Ryndam But we'll be on the Maasdam in a few months, so that last one could change soon! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localady Posted December 23, 2011 #17 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Oosterdam and Prinsendam with the Nieuw Amsterdam coming in a close 3rd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliaschief Posted December 23, 2011 #18 Share Posted December 23, 2011 We like any "Dam" ship but our favorites are the Maasdam, Rotterdam and Noordam. Favorites will continue to be the R and S class ships. Sail them while they are still sailing. Eurodam a couple of years ago and in a few days the MS Nieuw Amsterdam. Our first experience on a Signature ship was they do not ride as well as other classes. We will give a second opinion in a couple of weeks. No matter what Hal ship we always get that welcome home feeling and are just so thankful that we can experience being on a cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assateague Island Princes Posted December 23, 2011 #19 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Amsterdam for me....Just love the homey feel! But the Oosterdam holds a special place in my heart as well, as it was my first cruise:D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon10156 Posted December 23, 2011 #20 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I have only been on one HAL ship.... Prinsendam. I loved it. I loved the size, the crew and everything about her. I will be on the Veendam in two weeks. I will see if my answer is the same then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRL_Joanie Posted December 23, 2011 #22 Share Posted December 23, 2011 OK, so I've not been on all 15 or even 1/2 of them, yet.... but my favories in their order of my favoritism are: Zuiderdam Oosterdam Westerdam Nieuw Amsterdam I'll have to rethink these answers after we try the Noordam in 73 days:) Zuiderdam because I just love her larger than any other aft wrap verandahs, and because I just loved the feel of her. Oosterdam because she was our 1st HAL ship and I love the happiness this ship exudes. Westerdam because she made me feel like I was a queen and I loved our very first Suite experience on her. Nieuw Amsterdam only because we were on her. I liked her but did not love her as I did the Vista Class. Joanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startwin Posted December 23, 2011 #23 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Volendam, without a doubt... followed closely by the Veendam, because she was my first HAL ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted December 23, 2011 #24 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Definitely the Prinsendam for me. For second I guess it would have to be the Zaandam as it will be the first HAL ship I sail twice. Honorable mention goes to the Grande Dame.

PathfinderEss Posted December 23, 2011 #25 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Oosterdam and Westerdam are at the top of our list of favorite Hal ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
