Rare QuattroRomeo Posted May 9 #1 Share Posted May 9 If you have been on Noordam recently, maybe you can help? It has been years since we were on this ship so I'm sure there have been changes. I checked photos on Halfacts and elsewhere, and have not been able to see a current picture of the area on Noordam that has the computer stations. Are there many, or any, PCs available with the big screens? DH prefers them to phone/tablet, and doesn't want to lug the laptop if it isn't necessary.

Rare scooter6139 Posted May 9 #2 Share Posted May 9 Are you referring to the PCs in the Microsoft Sudio on deck 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdw1972 Posted May 11 #4 Share Posted May 11 Pretty sure Microsoft Studio no longer exists - that contract ended a couple years or so ago. On many ships that space has been turned into a library. Since most people travel with a laptop, tablet or other device (or all 3) there's really no need for a computer lab any longer. I've not seen computers out for passenger use in several years on my cruises, but admittedly have had no reason to look since I have my laptop in my stateroom.

'Most' isn't all. There are passengers who still 'need' access to a computer on a ship. I have never been on a ship that didn't have at least some, including a Pinnacle class ship. I haven't been on the Noordam in quite a few years, but I understand the library was never removed from this ship. The computers used to be in the library. On the other Vista ships, last I knew, there were some computers on Deck one, across the atrium from the Front Desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare QuattroRomeo Posted May 11 Author #6 Share Posted May 11 There are some computers on desks showing in photos from Halfacts and Cruisedeckplans, but the shots are from 2019. They are on deck 3 from what I checked. I am wondering if they are still there, or possibly some other location now. You are right Ruth, there are some on other ships- there are 2 just to the left of Guest Services counter on Rotterdam and Koningsdam. Not the best location as it can get noisy in that area, but at least they are there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennG Posted May 11 #7 Share Posted May 11 Approximately one year ago, we travelled on the Noordam (Alaska Cruise). There was a single desktop computer (PC) just adjacent to the front desk. I had to ask personnel at the front desk if I could use this computer. This was the only PC available for passenger use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crx Posted May 11 #8 Share Posted May 11 We are just off the NOORDAM .. There is only one public computer station . It is located right beside the front desk. No computer lab any more. The library is large and has a coffee shop beside it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we know what to expect in a couple of weeks and can be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
