What's the Best HAL Ship?

[bepsf]

New Noordam won't be out until 2006, so no one can tell you anything about it. She will be the last of the Vista class ships.....Zuiderdam/Oosterdam/Westerdam.

 

Our favourite ships - Volendam, Rotterdam and Veendam in that order.

I read somewhere that HAL and Fincantieri are shooting for a January '06 maiden voyage...

Having been on almost all of the "dam" ships, My choice would be 1. Amsterdam--loved the size, layout, color schemes and decor. 2. Rotterdam--ditto the Amsterdam, but just a tad lower. 3. Statendam--while in my opinion not the most beautiful (although very, very nice) it won hands down for the very best food and service we've ever had on HAL.

I have heard the same thing... if I get additional information I will post.

 

If you hear anything, please post too! I am anxious to book this one. :)

One of my best cruises was the Noordam, last year. I just loved that ship which is why I have signed up for the 30 day cruise on the Royal Princess. What have you heard of the new Noordam? Thanks

 

The current Noordam is one of my favorites... we are also looking forward to booking the new Noordam.

 

My second favorite - so far - the Amsterdam. :)
