rkacruiser Posted June 10, 2021 #8 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I thought it interesting that the Koningsdam was not selected to sail whatever the 2021 Alaska cruises will be. Where is she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is she? She would have never been a good fit as a replacement ship. She was to sail Alaska but with Canada Embarkation. The Seattle Sailings were originally Eurodam and Oosterdam. They ultimately chose Eurodam but then since she was in Europe the only EASY choice that was still hanging around the Pacific was Nieuw Amsterdam her twin sister ship. Everyone booked on the Eurodam was switch to the exact same cabin they had previously on Eurodam. It made it much easier for HAL. While Koningsdam was newer she has numerous different categories and cabin numbers and locations are not the same. Hopefully she will start back up in the fall out of San Diego. I think a lot will depend on how smooth the Alaska season goes and also getting crew to the states and vaccinated. HAL currently has too many ships they are concerned with getting up and cruising, once they get Nieuw Amsterdam, Eurodam, Westerdam and Rotterdam sailing they then can concentrate on the next phase of ships starting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Lisa, I think HAL made a big mistake in not building two more ships in the Signature Class. The Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam are two of the nicest ships on the line. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Koningsdam first cruise is Mexico on October 24, 2021. And she does her first cruise on the January 19th to Hawaii. After that, alternating between Mexico and Hawaii.

The Eurodam and Nieuw Amsterdam are two of the nicest ships on the line. I agree with this thought. The thinking in the Executive Offices of HAL at the time may have been "we need to improve main theater entertainment. We need something innovative in concept". The birth of the World Stage was the result of such thinking, in my opinion. But, what was done with such capabilities of the theater? In my one experience on Nieuw Statendam--NOT MUCH! For a very long time, in my opinion, regarding entertainment, there has been a significant gap between what is proposed and then what the final product is. Millions have been spent on the main theaters' capabilities on the Vista, Signature, and Pinnacle Class ships that have been wasted. The theaters on all of these ships have the capability of producing "knock your socks off" presentations. I have memory of only two of such a presentation: a Country/Western show on the Westerdam and the Cantare show on Nieuw Amsterdam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
