Is this accurate? "Welcome Book" PDF about the Westerdam

[SempreMare]

I googled a question about the Westerdam (which floor is the muster drill location?).

That landed me on a Japanese website with a "Welcome Book" PDF about the Westerdam.

 

Is this PDF accurate?

It looks like an official PDF with a familiar font but I don't see it on the Holland America Westerdam official page

The Westerdam went through drydock last year and I was fortunate to be onboard shortly afterwards.   I would have to do a lot of checking to verify the accuracy of the link.

 

To answer your question about the Passenger Safety Drill:  It is held on the Promenade Deck 3 around 45 minutes before leaving the dock.

Thank you  @Crew News

 

No need to look it word for word - what I really meant by that question was more along the lines of... 

 

1) Does this PDF look legit?  i.e., is it an official Holland America PDF?  

(I believe I went to last page and first page and didn't see an official document mark or copyright but maybe I missed it.)

I don't see that PDF on the HA Westerdam website.

 

2) If you think it's legit,  is it probably a Pre-Renovation booklet?

That looks like the welcome aboard booklet to me.

 

It's been on all my ships for the last couple of years.  

 

The HAL website doesn't have all the stuff that you will find in your cabin.

I believe the details in the booklet vary a little bit from ship to ship and they would not be likely to put 17 different versions on the website.

 

The book should be on the desktop when you board.

The deck plan inside that PDF shows a date with year 2015. And yes, that is clearly a PDF of the welcome booklet in each stateroom.

An authentic but dated copy. Much of the information, such as pricing, is no longer accurate.

Thanks all! 

 

I'm glad I came across it.  I am much more likely to remember something relevant in the moment if I skim it before the trip vs in the hubbub of day 1.  

 

I'd expect pricing to be outdated unless I pulled it from the HA official website.
