AMSTERDAM her "SOE"

[Leslieswiger]

:confused: Has the Amsterdam gone through her "Signature of Excellence" make over?
The HAL site was down this Sat. & Sunday for "Updates". Everything encluding prices (#199 still $14.00USD)seemed to be the same.:rolleyes: One thing that I did notice, is that they are now saying the "Signature of Excellence" will be completed by the end of 2006 NOT 2005 as first posted.:eek:
Does any know about the Amsterdam and her "SOE":D

Thanking you in advance.

Wonder why it is going to take nearly an extra year to complete the SOE on all the ships?

Something about the cost being a quarter of a billion dollars? LOL ;)

Don't know about the higher category cabins, but we were in a category K, and the mattress was definitely not what I would consider "plush" (unless one compared it to sleeping on the bare deck). Never having cruised before, I couldn't compare the bedding or bath linens - the ones we had were quite nice. The other upgrades were obviously in place: bathrobes, fruit basket, lighted makeup mirror, etc. If the hair dryer is an upgrade, I'd hate to see what they provided before! We ate dinner in the Lido twice; one night we had tableside service, the other we did not. Even a stiff mattress didn't detract from our overall enjoyment - we had a wonderful time and we are totally hooked on cruising!

The "S" category had been completed with new bedding, mattresses, etc. but friends in Cat. K -- inside -- thought their rooms seemed about the same.
This was in June to Alaska.
