Behind the scenes Tour of Eurodam

[cruising_family]

Do any of you HAL/Eurodam experts know if HAL offers tours of the ship behind the scenes? I am trying to come up with something special as a surprise for my DH on our cruise as we will be on board during his birthday. On another thread I posted regarding birthday ideas, someone suggested this type of ship tour and that RC does this at a cost.

 

I did get suggestions abt a cake at dinner, having dinner at Pinnacle, couple massage and doing romantic dinner in our cabin. If you have any other ideas, please toss those in to.

 

Thanks a bunch.

My husband has done this tour on a Vista class ship (Noordam) a few years ago. He is an engineer and was fascinated.

 

He said be prepared for a good bit of walking & stairs.

I think it's only offered on the Vista class ships. When they have it.

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know the approx cost and how I book that type of tour?

[cruising_family]

Well that figures. I guess I'll keep exploring options.

 

Thanks.

A Tour of the Vista class ships is $150.pp...

 

See post 2 & 3 on this thread:

I remember a poster mentioning on another thread several months ago, that HAL no longer is taking people into the Engine room, but I could be mistaken..

 

Also believe it must be booked on the ship.. Suggest you go to the front desk as soon as you board & ask about it..

 

Also check out post No. 7 on the same thread..

We were just on the Eurodam on Oct. 26th and they offered a tour of the ship on embarkation day and then a tour of the kitchen and laundry facilities another day. Not sure what the cost is.

It is only offered on the Vista and Signature class ships. It is not offered on the R and S class ships. However, it seems to have become a little inconsistently offered, offered this cruise, but not the next.

Was also on Eurodam on Oct 26th. They did have a message about the behind the scenes tour in the On Location guide on Embarkation day. However, they do need a minimum amount of people to participate, which I believe is 5 or 6 , this was not reached and the tour was cancelled.

We were on Eurodam and signed up but it was cancelled due to only 4 people interested. They needed at least 8.

Well it's good to know that it might be available on our cruise so I'll keep an eye out on my upcoming cruise. Maybe it will happen.

 

Thanks!

The Vista and Signature class ships make it available, if there is enough interest.
