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!

A 7036 Verandah Suite Stateroom Deck 7 Navigation Deck
[

[

[
We sailed on the Zaandam 1/21 in verandah cabin A7036 which accommodates 3 people - you can see from the pix that the sofa opens to a single bed, not a double/queen. Left more room for moving around, but cramped for 3 people (adults). Separated beds are narrow (30") and the mattress pad was folded such that it created a slight arch - we found ourselves trying to keep our balance (not fall out of bed) when the seas were rough or even a little active - peculiar, but we managed by laying on our backs more than our sides, which is when we encountered the problem. Also are pix of the bathroom, safe and outlet (one regular -- the round one on the left is for the hairdryer). We used a surge protector we brought with us, okayed by the cabin steward. There were a total of 13 drawers plus 4 closets, some with shelves, so plenty of storage. There are locks on 2 of the drawers in the cabin, but no keys - when we asked for keys, they couldn't find even the master key and said those drawers/locks hadn't been used since the safes were put in. So we couldn't lock up all the cameras and the 2 laptops, but everything seemed to be safe, no losses (the cabin stewards were good about not leaving the door open/cabin unattended when cleaning).

AA 7088 Verandah Suite Stateroom Deck 7 Navigation Deck (This is a Handicapped Stateroom)
[

[

[
Handicap accessible cabin 7088 on the Zaandam. It is on the back corner port side and was very nice. One door to the right as we stepped out of our cabin took us to the aft deck. There are a few random pictures of other things on the ship. Feel free to use anything that you feel you can and just delete any that you already have or think would not be helpful. Because the cabin is at the back corner, the veranda seemed to have a little more space and we could see both to the side and back which made picture taking nice.

Just for fun I'll include this link to the movie I made from our trip. If you feel you have time (18 min.), take a peek at it http://www.viddler.com/explore/Flindy/videos/1/ . The 2 tracks of piano music are Dr. Boogie (the entertainer in the piano lounge). I closed that place down nearly every evening. :-) Photos February 2011
