MISCELLANEOUS PHOTOS FROM THE VEENDAM

[

[
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 Veendam Stateroom Photos.

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 Centerpiece: "Jacob's Ladder" The original Jacob's Ladder was the biblical Stairway to Heaven. The Veendam's "Jacob's Ladder" is a spangled three-story spiral of cut crystal, climbing from floor to ceiling. This exquisite, monumental glass sculpture is by Luciano Vistosi
