MISCELLANEOUS PHOTOS FROM THE ROTTERDAM
[
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 2 separate pages, the 1st is the Staterooms themselves, the 2nd is Miscellaneous photos of Public Areas around the ship. Click on Page 1 below (Bottom of this page) to see the Rotterdam Stateroom Photos.

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 cappuccino 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 Internet 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

The Atrium: The centerpiece is called The Atrium Clock. Hercules holds up the sky atop a grand three-story Flemish clock tower. This elaborate timepiece is not only ornate and whimsical, it is also accurate! The Atrium Clock is by the husband-and-wife team of Gibert Lebigre and Corinne Roger. Its 14 clock faces show the time in different locations around the world, along with astonomical instruments and whimsical sculptures.
