MISCELLANEOUS PHOTOS FROM THE OOSTERDAM
[
[
[
On Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam, Oosterdam, Prinsendam, Zuiderdam: Every single Stateroom has a cooler (HAL does not like to use the word refrigerator as they don't get as cool as some medicines that require "refrigeration" need... but they will get beverages cold...)
[
On the rest of the HAL fleet (and note the above says NIEUW AMSTERDAM... NOT  Amsterdam ) If it has a verandah, it has a cooler! 
[
[
To make the pages less graphic intensive, I've divided the ship photos into 3 separate pages, the 1st is the Staterooms themselves, the 2nd is Miscellaneous photos of Public Areas around the ship and the 3rd is the Handicapped (HC) Staterooms on the Oosterdam. The links to the other pages are at the bottom of this page.

Neptune Lounge
[
[
[
Neptune Lounge: The FAMOUS coffee machine in the Neptune Lounge. Here's a BIG TIP.... If you love your caffeine, punch the latte or cappucino button and let it cycle....THEN push the espresso button to get an EXTRA shot! It has been mentioned by Suite guests that there is at least one (1) lap top computer for the use of guests in the Neptune Lounge. The regular Interent and connection fees would still be applicable. The Neptune Lounge is ONLY for Deluxe Verandah Suite and Penthouse Suite Guests.

Side Note: Have you been on one of the ships with the Digital Workshop and lost one of the handouts for things you learned onboard? Frank uploaded them all to the Zaandam's corner of the HAL Website under the Online Communities section. You can find all of those handouts here: http://cid-b3ac20bf2d6cd8fa.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Digital%20Workshop%20Handouts
