a sly fox

on our trip to Aus and NZ in Feb, we had two tender ports. at each the Oosterdam used its lifeboats as tenders. as earlier posted, we loaded after the "tender" had been lowered from the ship.

we were on the Oosterdam from 2 Feb until 16 Feb from Sydney Au to Auckland NZ staying in cabin 8079.

we had a great time and didn't notice any noise. our cabin was just aft of the mid ship elevators under the Lido.

there was some wear and tear noticeable but nothing very bad.

on our recent cruise (Aus to NZ) on the Oosterdam, there were binoculars in 8079 (SS)

we were on the big O from Sydney Aus. to Auckland NZ from 2/2 to 2/16 covering over 3,400 nm.

loved the ship and the crew. we were in cabin 8079 (SS cabin starboard side)just aft of mid ships elevator. a little worn here and there but not bad.

I think you will enjoy Alaska on the big O
