Pool and hot tubs on Zuiderdam

[Eileen G]

Anyone know what time they close the pool and hot tubs? DH and I love to go in the hot tub after dinner. I have been on the Noordam how different is the Z? Thanks.

Anyone know what time they close the pool and hot tubs? DH and I love to go in the hot tub after dinner. I have been on the Noordam how different is the Z? Thanks.Usually both the pools and hot tubs are open until 10:00p, but sometimes the Lido pool & tub will close earlier.

There's a few differences between the Noordam and the Zuiderdam. Since the retro-fit the Z's Explorations Cafe is up on the starboard half of the Crow's Nest and there is a small (30 seat) Screening Room where movies are shown down where the Internet Center is on the N. The Z's colors are a bit "louder". The stern cabin layouts on the two ships are different.

We like the Noordam better! John Scott is a very personable Captain, and is "out and about" the ship much more than many other Captains. :)

I second the vote for Noordam. Having been on both recently, chose Noordam for our next cruise. I did not use pools or hot tubs on our recent voyage. I think pool closed around 9. Hot tubs were closed most of voyage because of code red. I used hydro pool after it reopened when code red was lifted.
