Oasis and the Loft on Zuiderdam?

[cathryn58]

On the upgrades for Signature of Excellence Zuiderdam has "been completed" as far as the "expanded youth facilities and activities." I am wondering if this means that there is an Oasis and Loft for teens or that there is already a dedicated teen and child rooms. Does anyone know if The Loft and Oasis exist on the Zuiderdam?

according to the HAL website, yes

I looked at the Hal web site and sure enough it does list the Oasis and the Loft for the Zuiderdam. They grouped everything related to children and teens under one heading.

I thought currently only the Rydam had these two features. Can someone who sailed on the Zuiderdam verify this for schultz?

Has anyone been on the Zuiderdam that has witnessed the Loft and Oasis teen area on the ship? I cannot get the same answer twice from HAL. ANY first hand accounts from cruises since Jan 2005 would help. Thanks.

Sorry - No Oasis, no Waterfall...

...and there isn't likely to be one in the near-term future on the Vista Class ships - as there an extensive kids area already exists from the original ship's design.
