HAL has been reported to be offering just about all of it's S and R class ships, seeing which will sell, and at what price. Ryndam and Statendam are already sold.

 

This would meet the specs of the Statendam and the Maasdam

Only two HAL ships built in 1993; Statendam and Maasdam :cool:

Lets have some fun (at HALs expense). So perhaps one could say that HAL has old ships, with old designs, for old people, who do not contribute much to onboard revenue! In an era when many cruisers expect to be able to book nice veranda cabins at reasonable cost, HAL is operating some ships with very few non-suite veranda cabins. Take a look at the 3 new ships being built for the new Viking Ocean Cruise line. They are 930 passenger ships (a size that many HAL lovers would envy) with all cabins having a veranda. The price of their cruises, which includes excursions, wine-beer with lunch and dinner, no additional cost alternative restaurants, etc...are pretty competitive with HAL and actually cheaper then many HAL ships if one wants a veranda.

 

My prediction is that Viking will syphon-off a fair amount of HAL cruisers. One will have to wait and see how this new line rates with their passengers, but when we look at their overall package, ship size and itineraries it does appear to be a direct competitor to HAL with a far better price/value.

This cruise ship is the 5th in the company's long history to bear the name, and was the 1st of a new class of vessels when it was launched in 1993.

Hey John,

 

Likewise... Happy New Year to you & your family.

 

I want to keep STATENDAM to her for myself! NY to Bermuda cruises. Keep her blue and give her an orange funnel! ;)

 

What is your planning for the winter?

:D If you have Statendam for Bermuda, may I have Maasdam for Canada/NE? :D Blue with Orange funnel sounds perfect!

 

Happy, Healthy New Year, Stephen. All the best.

Thank you. I am hoping the Maasdam and the Prinsendam are around for a while ;)

I am guessing the 10 Statendam restaurants are made up of some of the following:

Lower Rotterdam dining room

Upper Rotterdam dining room

Pinnacle Grill

Explorations Cafe

Lido Restaurant (Port side)

Lido Restaurant (Starboard side)

Terrace Grill?

Canaletto?

Queens Room?

Hudson Room?

Half Moon?

Crew dining room?

Officers dining room?

On the Statendam as well as other "S" class ships the Queen's Room is now the Digital Workshop.

 

The Hudson Room and Half Moon Room -- no longer used for Suite Dinners -- in fact we haven't had them in years.

 

The Crew dining room and Officers dining room -- I know there is a Crew dining room -- but is there an Officers "private" dining room?

Unfortunately, before long, all of the smaller ships will be gone.

 

HAL can't compete in today's market with ships of that size.

 

I know the Prinsendam had only a few years left.

 

For all aficionados of this ship make sure you let HAL know you want another one. And one that is not an imitation of the other HAL ships ;)

 

If HAL turns into nothing but the "K" ships, it will be a very sad day - that's just my opinion of course - I guess I will find out the alternatives when I sail on O for the first time in November.

Well if that is the case, and I don't doubt what you are saying, what is Oceania doing with all its smaller ships?
