jpoelker Posted July 17, 2004 #51 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Volendam to Alaska and Rotterdam to New England & Canada. Noordam to the Baltic from Copenhagen two weeks from tomorrow. Can't wait. Really liked the Rotterdam, especially the Neptune lounge service. Looking forward to the old style Noordam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calliope Posted July 19, 2004 #52 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Well, let's see; I've been on the RYNDAM twice and the ZAANDAM once. They are both wonderful ships, and I enjoyed my cruises on both of them! Although I must confess to liking the ZAANDAM a bit more. Now I am anxiously awaiting my trip on the STATENDAM from Vancouver to San Diego in September, and the VEENDAM early next year. S Class ships are a favorite of mine. I like their looks, their size and the flow of the public spaces onboard. To me they seem very easy to get to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jannarama Posted July 21, 2004 #54 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Well I've only been on the Statendam, but I'm going on the Oosterdam this Saturday...and looking so forward to it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANSalberg Posted July 21, 2004 #55 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Noordam,Veendam,Nieuw Amsterdam, Volendam, Zaandam, Maasdam, Rotterdam [twice] and the NEW Oosterdam last fall. The thing that I love about the HAL ships is the location of certains things on ALL the ships. The Crow's Nest & Explorer's Lounge are PREDICTABLE! Certain things look slightly different- but getting around the ship becomes FAMILIAR quickly! Its like COMING Home! Which do we like the best? ALL of them! Every one!

CINCY40 Posted July 24, 2004 #57 Share Posted July 24, 2004 DH and I had never been on a cruise until the Amsterdam to Alaska last August. Since then we have sailed the Zuiderdam twice and are booked on the Ryndam for September. Guess we are hooked. People don't seem to have much to say about the Ryndam. Sure hope it is as nice an experience as the others... Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jancookz Posted July 28, 2004 #61 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Have been on the Statendam but will be new to the Ryndam in January for the Panama Canal cruise. The two are built alike, aren't they, except for the artwork--??? We have seen the Canal before, way back when on a Sitmar cruise, but the ports now are very different. Looking forward to these changes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debblue Posted July 28, 2004 #62 Share Posted July 28, 2004 in my opinion any "damn' ship will do after listing the ships and many times on them i know I'm a cruise addict and proude of it, it's great for your well being,and certainly will cheer up anyone anytime on a cruise heres to my addiction (its an expensive one but well worth the memories and friends you meet aboard as well as fellow passengers!!!!!!!
