Amsterdam - Comments & General Information

[Krazy Kruizers]

The structure that was on the Amsterdam right now: in charge of Culinary Operations - Michael Harris; Beverage Manager - Darren Lewis. From what we could tell there weren't any Bar Managers or Bar Supervisors. Apparently Darren does all those jobs now.

KK,

Nice review. Thanks for all the information. Did you happen to check out that back staircase at the end of the Navigation deck? Also, did you notice if the handicapped suite at the back had a smaller balcony? Thanks.

I noticed that you mentioned that Ivan was the port and shopping person. We met a port and shopping person named Ivan on the Coral Princess a few years ago. He was delightful! I wonder if you met the same person?

Forgot to check out that area - sorry can't help you.

Ivan is from Miami - a man in his 60"s. Could be the same man.

KK, you talk about changes in supervisory positions, was one of the changes in Bar Managers by any chance? We were told of this happening on a cruise in November and I wondered if they had started it yet......jean:cool:

 

Hi!

When we were on the Zuiderdam last Dec. the change had taken place. They had a Bar Supervisor & a Head Bartender. They did away with the Bar Managers on that ship, the Westerdam & that was the way the Noordam was supposed be. Not sure if it was going to be a fleet-wide change but the Head Bartender (Trixie) thought it would eventually go that way. I think it left some of the Bar Managers switching ships & positions.

Perhaps the people with disabilities were not aware of the special devices to allow them to use the pool/hot tub?

 

DH would not use one of them, as he has no interest in using the pool/hot tub.

After reading that those handicapped lifts are portable, I imagine that most people didn't know they existed because of the way they were hidden behind the wall where the band played at lunch time.
