dockman Posted March 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2017 For any recent Prinsedam folks i'd like to hear more about the library. What do you think of the selection? i assume there is also a leave one take one paperback section...how is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzsite Cruiser Posted March 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2017 We were on the Prinsendam last fall. The library is pretty extensive with a selection of both fiction and non-fiction books. There is also a book exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted March 7, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It has a pretty good library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Be Warned HAL has gotten rid of all the librarians. People have been reporting that some of the libraries have empty spaces where books were. People have also reported that the paperback exchange is in poor shape.

Rare kazu Posted March 7, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Libraries have not been touched on the S & R ships nor on the Prinsendam. For the P'dam - don't forget to go through to the Oak Room which has more books in it along with some very comfortable chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted March 7, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I thought the Prinsendam had the best library of all the HAL ships I've been on (17 present and former at last count). I found classics I had never gotten around to reading, newer books. Plenty of choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare whogo Posted March 7, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'd like a current report, too. Rumor had it during our November Prinsendam transatlantic that the librarian would not be replaced when her contract was up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuthC Posted March 7, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 7, 2017 ... along with a good walking deck with deck chairs. The Prinsendam has those, too! :D Just a great little ship all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizer Bill Posted March 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We really like the Prinsendam's library. Been on her twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micmac Posted March 10, 2017 #11 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I was on the last cruise in Oct with the librarian and then back again late December. The library is still well stocked but books weren't getting re-shelved as quickly as they had been previously but overall, still a good library. The "take one, leave one" was well stocked. They even had books in multiple languages. Enjoy your cruise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
