MUD Posted June 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 16, 2023 On other R class ships, including the old Rotterdam, we have experienced particulate from the funnel on chairs and the deck around the sea view pool. This was a special problem on port days. We have never been on the Zaandam but have reservations. We will be on the ship on many port days. What is your experience on the Zaandam?

Tampa Girl Posted June 16, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I am not sure what you are referring to as "particulate", but I have never seen soot, smoke, or other matter coming from the funnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUD Posted June 16, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Let’s say soot on the lounge chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensredshirt Posted June 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I did not see any soot in or around the pool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissie Posted June 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Do they plug into port power on port days? To stop this sort of pollution in the port generally not just the pool deck? I've certainly seen soot in the pool on other ships, but only when sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos below may help answer that but I don't know what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're talking about, having experienced that on some ships on aft decks. But we sailed San Diego to Buenos Aries on Zaandam and never noticed soot on that ship. (We spend a lot of time on the Lido aft deck, dining and sunning, so probably would have noticed.) Perhaps on our itinerary we left the ship most port days, but still, your question surprised me and I would venture to say this won't be a problem for you on Zaandam.

Rare sunviking90 Posted June 17, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Port plug in is only available in some ports. I know here in Vancouver the are able to do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakridger Posted June 17, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Are all HAL ships equipped with port power connections? I know many older ships on other lines don't have the capability. ~Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
