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!

The verandah cabins on the Ryndam are a really nice size. This room was great with a large and very comfortable sofa. This room is above one of the bars, so there was some music noise, but it wasn't bad. We loved this room.

Here are some picture that I took of our cabin #179 on Ryndam. One picture shows the proximity of the parking lot in Tampa.

Cabin was well located.  We like to be near the aft elevators.  Temperature in cabin wasn't a major problem but it did take awhile to warm up or cool down.  Probably same as most cabins.  Only problem with this cabin was that the toilet was temperamental.  It clogged three times.  Never had that happen before.  Refrigerator is in that end table in the picture.  We also could hear a whooshing noise in the ceiling.  I should have asked the cabin steward what it was but never did.  Maybe a laundry chute is nearby?  I never bothered us.  Just puzzling.
