Queenvee Posted September 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I was just on the Nieuw Statendam and am considering the Oosterdam, Westerdam and Zuiderdam for my next cruise in 2023 (TA or Japan). I know they're a different ship class than the NS and not as new. After many cruises, I know that two very important things for me are: (1) sitting on a deck chair on the Promenade deck reading and watching the water go by and (2) the Lincoln Center stage performances. I've watched various videos of these 3 ships but I figured I'd come to the experts for info!! Re: #1, do all these ships typically place deck chairs on the Promenade deck (weather pemitting)? Re: #2, the NS had a great space for Lincoln Center that provided seats in a lounge format (e.g. groupings in different areas of the room, set up for 2 or 4 people) but I saw a video for one of the other 3 ships that showed seating for Lincoln Center as rows of lined up chairs - like a meeting. That would be reason for me to choose another of the ships, so I would be very interested in your information about the Lincoln Center venues for these 3 ships. Thank you very much!

IPB4IGO Posted September 16, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) We were on the Zuierdam this year. Yes, there are deck chairs on the promenade deck, and, yes, the Lincoln Center had rows of moveable chairs, like a meeting.

AV8rix Posted September 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) ALL of the Vista-class ships (Westerdam, Oosterdam, Zuiderdam, Noordam) are configured as shown in photo of Lincoln Center venue provided by @IPB4IGO, and all have steamer chairs on the prom deck.

Queenvee Posted September 16, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Thank you both for the speedy and helpful response. Good news about the deck chairs and not so good about Lincoln Center...I guess I could arrive early and get a spot on one of the sofas, or at the back of the room.

Chickadee910 Posted September 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2022 But right outside the Lincoln center on the Zuiderdam there is a sitting area with sofas and chairs and tables for drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
