moorerf Posted March 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I see a picture, I see no story??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted March 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I see a picture, I see no story??? I just googled USA Today and then did a search for Holland America Oosterdam - it takes you to a tour and the last slide (there are many) where it says "The Oosterdam will receive an additional refit . . . " I wonder what the refits are - besides the revamping of the shops? Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisereaders Posted March 13, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 13, 2018 When we were last on the Oosterdam - 2016- we met two designers who were onboard looking at improvements . In particular they were looking at the non suite cabins. Perhaps this will be part of the retrofit. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 13, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I only saw a picture of the Oosterdam. Guess we will have to wait for people to cruise on her when she comes out of dry dock in a couple of weeks to see what all was done to her.

They're likely going to do to the Oosterdam what's been done to others, putting the EXC area up there, moving the Explorations Cafe to the bar area, etc. Sigh. Please, if you can, take photos to post here; I'd love to see what we're going to expect in October. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
