bfgoodstitch Posted May 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Yes, we received one but I don't know if it looks like the others since it was the first one I had received. I was traveling with my sister who lives in another state from me and the plates were one per stateroom. Being the generous person I am, I let my sister keep it :)!

Here are some of the earlier ones; bottom right corner is the Nieuw Amsterdam inaugural plate, the ship that came out before Koningsdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sppunk Posted May 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2016 As always Royal Goedewaagen made the plate. Here it is with gold, this was given to Her Majesty: Lots more info on the HAL blog: http://www.hollandamericablog.com/2016/05/25/royal-goedewaagen-creates-special-plate-for-koningsdams-dedication/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovely other Posted May 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I gave mine away ... Not really my taste .... They were causing some dilemmas amongst a few people we met on our trip ... Some didn't want the plate but also felt bad leaving it behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some didn't want the plate but also felt bad leaving it behind Well I had one heck of a time getting mine, I do collect a plate from each Hal ships we have been on, it took 24 hours of trying to get just the one per cabin we were to be given. I was accused by several crew in a way that actually hurt. They kept stating "Are you SURE you did not get one???" then kept stating we need to verify with your cabin steward you did not receive one. I was so frustrated by the time we finally got one the last night I did not even take a photo of it. But Sail since you may have missed it this was the Mariner Tiles they gave out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakkojakko Posted May 30, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 30, 2016 When the Koningsdam was in Amsterdam on the 21th may, all 4stars in Holland were invited on the ship for a look see, show and lunch. The group was so large that two mariner lunch seatings were required. Everybody received the inaugural (big one) plate. It was a nice day and a good oppo:rtunity to get a feel of the Koningsdam. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed everyone and his brother with a visitor badge on was walking around with a plate on 21 May in Amsterdam. We knew of several passengers (friends) who sail together sharing a room to save money who could not get 1 plate each, as they were allocated 1 per room as Lisa mentioned. It did present an awkward appearance of unfairness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakkojakko Posted May 30, 2016 #16 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Agreed. Although, to be fair, we got one plate per couple. I expected some sort of souvenir, but not this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
