Ping pong tables

[Friend100]

Are there ping pong tables on these ships - Maasdam, Westerdam, Zuiderdam and Oosterdam?

 

If there is, where is it located, and how many tables?

 

Thanks.

Westerdam yes. On lido deck near the entrance to the spa. Not sure if there's more than one though.

Zuiderdam and Oosterdam yes, not sure about the Maasdam.

There was one near the Lido pool on the Maasdam a couple years ago.

Not one of the ships asked about, but this is the location of the tables on the Noordam too.

Even the Prinsendam has a ping pong table. I believe they are on all the ships. I have seen them on every ship I have been on :D (We were on Maasdam last year and it was there).

[Krazy Kruizers]

On our recent Noordam cruises there were 2 ping pong tables near the entrance from the Lido area to the spa area.

I have heard from others that you do not want to book a cabin right under them!

Ping Pong table at entrance to Lido pool area on Maasdam. :)

 

If you think you might want to play, bring some balls as they sometimes are hard to get on the ships. :)

You will easily be able to find the ping-pong tables on the Lido deck! Just go to the busiest end of the pool area, past all the folks holding court at the whirlpools, across the steady stream of passengers coming out of the spa area and head to the Lido Grill or what -ever it is currently called. As you wait in line there, the Ping-Pong balls will be rolling under your feet. Now load up a couple of plates, avoiding the slippery puddles from the pool and retrace your steps to find a place to sit. It's almost guaranteed an energetic child or teen who has been playing at Ping-Pong will either run over you or end up wrapped around your ankles trying to retrieve the run-away ball. :eek::);)

To this day I have never figured out why seemingly every cruise ship has a ping pong table somewhere on deck where it can not possibly be protected from the ever-present small amount of wind required to sent balls sailing.

I agreed with all the comments made in this post! Ping-Pong tables are an absolute waste of space on the forward end of the Lido Deck and this space would be better used for (more) tables and chairs! ;)

My observation is that they get used a lot. Nearly every time I walk by people are playing.

That's been my observation also, depending on itinerary, and not just by those under eighteen

Everything on the ship is a "waste" for those who aren't interested in using it. All the space could be put to "better use" if it was put to something one is interested in.

However, the ship is trying to please more than just one person.

Thanks for everyone's comment ... and laugh :)

 

When we cruised Nieuw Amsterdam few years ago, the two ping pong tables were on deck 10 (Panorama) I believed just outside of Club HAL. As far as I can recall, they were lightly used. In our most recent cruise on the Eurodam, they were, as everyone indicated, on the Lido deck forward near the entrance to the spa area. The location was very central and it was always busy with adults and kids playing. I just didn't know if it was just unique for Eurodam and hence I asked the question for the location on other DAM ships that we are considering.

Enjoy the Ping Pong and have fun. Good to remember about not booking a cabin underneath the Tables.

2 on Veendam at the forward end of the midship pool area. They were very active and enthusiastically noisy. I think we even had a tournament during our Circle Hawaii. We had lots of sea days so that may make a difference.

We always like to have a game of ping pong when we can.

The Zuiderdam has two tables on the Lido deck just beside the entrance to the spa.
