Cindy Posted August 18, 2014 #28 Share Posted August 18, 2014 For those who may be wondering, after an extensive search on Noordam last week, I can reveal that the threadbare carpet is on the edge of a tread on the forward stairs on the flight between between decks 2 and 3. It took some finding, believe me! What a shame that you were subjected to that horror!;) The worst part of it is, that left unchecked, it will probably soon spread to the next step.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin Terri Posted August 18, 2014 #29 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It's a thermal imaging device I will run out and buy one before I leave for Europe on Tuesday, or can you tell me of a store in Rome that sells one? Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve ch Posted August 18, 2014 Author #31 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Apart from the aforementioned carpet, the ship was in a good state throughout, as far as I could tell. It's not new. It has thousands of passengers tramping through it on a daily basis, but everything worked (OK, there was a small fire at one point). Everything was clean and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The decor might not be to everyone's taste, a preponderance of reds and browns make it a bit dark. Sections of carpet, which presumably had worn out, have been replaced in plain blue. New carpets everywhere would be a priority if I was planning the next dry-dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted August 18, 2014 #32 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Small fire? So maybe the carpets are scorched, not worn? Now I understand why Copper10-8 suggested you take the thermal imaging equipments, so you can avoid the hotspots! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
take us away Posted August 18, 2014 #33 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Seriously?? Good grief. We were on the Noordam last fall. I don't recall any tripping hazards, etc. I DID notice that there were no more days of the week carpets in the elevators!! Shocking. LOL.:eek: It caused quite a kerfuffel... OH NOOOOO how will I know what day it is but more importantly - will I care??? Always liked it when my 'pill container day' matched the elevator's mat day. Do hate to see one of my favorite things go away - will have to comment on the survey after our upcoming cruise. Will have to search out the dreaded, hazardous carpet when we sail the Noordam in Nov.

I would seriously hope that someone at HAL reads this forum and that the offending carpet is being replaced next changeover day. If they have any idea how to run a business, that is.

The damaged equipment was replaced before we sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxmantoo Posted August 18, 2014 #36 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Cannot believe the number of posters who really seem to believe that the OP was serious :rolleyes: The obvious lack of sense of humour on the part of that many posters makes us thankful that HAL still offers tables for 2 in the MDR :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted August 18, 2014 #37 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm actually pretty good with a needle and thread, and have a friend who weaves . . . do you think we would get a serious price reduction if we brought along our supplies and fixed the offending piece? It shouldn't take us more than, oh, I don't know, about 7 days . . . . . Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROCRUISE Posted August 18, 2014 #38 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I hope you reported it to the proper authorities and were promptly rewarded with a free cruise ;) Thanks for the laugh!!! Sort of reminds me of some of the reviews we read before cruising on The Oosterdam last June stating that the ship was in less than stellar condition. Ship was perfect and the one place on a stairway where carpet had worn was replaced during our cruise. Beautiful ship, beautiful cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
