Does anyone know what was done to Koningsdam on their recent drydocking?

Asking for a friend 😄

Probably mostly the routine maintenance below the water line.

Well I can tell you that the freestyle soda/coke machine was not working for 3 cruises and people reported it hadn’t been working for some time so I think Cruiser Bruce is right.

 

Oh and one ice machine was out of order as well.

 

Other than that the ship seemed in fine shape.

saw these changes happening mainly by pool areas?

Have not received pictures of actual CHANGES yet

I was wondering if they got rid of the Blend and put in a bar, like the Rotterdam.

This. + was wondering if they installed starlink.

I saw on the Ships at a Glance on the HAL website that there is a bar called Taste. Did that replace Blend?

In March coffee chat, hotel general manager stated the biggest change customers would see was the relocation of Shore excursions from Level 1 to the Crows Nest and the movement of the Coffee shop around into the main body of the Crows nest.

Hope they replaced those disgusting peeling chairs in the lido.

Again from the Hotel Manager, he planned to have them recovered but was unsure if the material was going to be available for the drydock.

If you have an Instagram account, you can see this picture of the GIGANTIC starboard stabilizer freshly painted.

Yes they have gone. Actually, only replaced a few days ago.

How much does wifi cost and is it possible to buy it only for specific days or do I have to get a package for the entire cruise?

If you don't have the "Have it All" package that includes internet on your cruise, you can opt for the surf package for $15 per day or the premium internet package for $20 per day (if you want to stream video).

 

However, you do need to purchase the package for the remaining days of your cruise. If you don't buy the whole cruise package, you can wait for a few days and purchase the package for the remaining days left on your voyage. For instance, if you're on a 7-day cruise that has a few port days in the beginning, you could delay purchasing the internet package and buy it only for the remaining four days, for example, and save some money.
