CJcruzer Posted August 19, 2017 Author #19 Share Posted August 19, 2017 There is also a ? after this. Copper - is a dry dock really happening during this time and if so what is being accomplished? not Copper but found this on www.travelagentcentral.com and I am quoting from them "Between now and 2018, Holland America Line willspend $300 million on brand enhancements for its fleet. Suites on allRotterdam-,Signature- andVista-class ships will receive new carpet and interior décor, including furniture. Plus, suite guests will find new quartz stone tops on the nightstands, desk, dresser and make-up area. Techies will appreciate the USB outlets that will be added to suite bed headboards so guests can easily recharge their electronic devices. Also new will be LED reading lights and a lighted closet rod. More new features for suite guests include binoculars, in-cabin coffee/espresso machine and a TV system with free movies on demand, plus complimentary mimosas with room service breakfast. Oosterdam will enter dry dock in April, followed by Nieuw Amsterdam, Westerdam, Zuiderdam and Noordam throughout the year. In 2017 and beyond, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Volendam and Zaandam will receive the updates." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
