Zaandam bathroom updates

[AtlantaCruiser72]

Does anyone know if the bathrooms on the Zaandam have been updated like some on the Volendam and Rotterdam have been, or if they will receive this upgrade at all? If some of them have been done is there any way to know which ones? I'm considering changing from my currently planned Zuiderdam Panama Canal cruise to one of the Zaandam's 14 day Alaska cruises instead, and really like the update bathrooms/showers on the Volendam/Rotterdam. I'd actually pay a bit more for a washroom like that, as funny as it sounds.

We were on the Zaandam in January in an outside cabin on the lower prom deck. And no the bathroom in our cabin had not been rennovated but needed to be!

Thanks for the response - It won't deter me booking the ship, I was just curious. I have seen a few photos of the Zaandam bathrooms and knew they were a bit dated and in need of some TLC.

Excuse me to barge in but I wondered : How do you know which ones of the bathrooms on Rotterdam and Zuiderdam have been renovated? Specific decks or ( which I'd think) specific cabin categories?

Thank you.

Updated how? New tubs, toilets and sinks? Just curious.

Several S & R class ships had a number of, but not all, oceanview bathrooms renovated with new solid surface wall panels, new tile flooring, removal of tub and having a glass shower enclosure instead, and new quartz counters/sink with all new plubling fixtures. Much brighter, fresher and more functional looking.

 

 

I'm not sure how to tell on the ships that had the bathroom refresh which one were done and which weren't.

 

 

This is one of my small gripes with HAL - when they do revamps on vessels it's a very patchwork approach that lacks consistency. Creates a "crazy quilt" feel to the interiors. They offer such a strong product otherwise that I think most HAL devotees turn a blind eye to that aspect of interior design and chalk it up to being charming and quirky.

We were on the Zaandam in January on the Verandah deck, starboard side, forward, with the old bathroom.
