Zuiderdam - DVD player/VCR

[Starbright]

I understand that the Zuiderdam doesn't have DVD players in the staterooms - is that correct?

Do the rooms have VCRs, and if so, are videos available to rent?

Come on everbody - someone must have been on the Zuiderdam and can answer this question for me! :(

I know she just went through dry dock for the SOE. and if she got the works like the rest of the fleet, then she should have flatscreen tv's and dvd players. I am going to be on her in April of next year and I really hope she got the makeover like the rest.

Well this is from HAL: http://www.hollandamerica.com/pdfs/media/factsheets/FastFacts_SOE.pdf

Unfortunately, no Flat Screens for the rest of the Vista Class :( But, it does say VCR or DVD players with a well stocked library.

That seems to show that DVD players/VCRs are only in suites. We're in a VF cabin - does that mean we don't get one? I know the flat screen TVs have not been installed on Zuiderdam.

I suppose you could always call HAL and ask. Noordam has them in every room. The question is, did they backfit the rest. I could see them not doing the TVs as they are not that old but if there was no VCR/DVD to begin with, why not add them.
