Oosterdam Screening Room

[TGCRUISEO]

Does the Oosterdam still have the screening room/Movie Theatre on it. I don’t see it on the deck plans anymore?

I don't believe any of the ships do at this point.

The former screening room on Nieuw Amsterdam has been turned into a nice library. Wouldn't surprise me if the same happens to the other former screening rooms which have not been used as a movie theater for a while now

The HAL Zaandam still has its Wajang Theater which was used recently for screening movies and was also used for cooking demos by Chef Jacques Torres on it's cruise up to Canada from FLL this year. The ship still has it's 'old school' HAL library too.

Yes, I'm familiar with that.  The Wajang Theater is completely different from The Screening Room.  Wajang is much bigger, sight lines are poor, and a short person like me would never go there to see a movie.  The Screening Rooms were too small, but the seating and sight lines were outstanding!

Correct the Wajang Theater is not a great place to watch a movie no matter what your height is as the lower part of the main screen cannot be seen by anyone past the first couple of rows. For cooking demos it is fine but those are very far and few between.

on our March 2023 Oosterdam cruise.....

 

I do not recall the movie theatre (but was not looking for it either)

 

We did enjoy a movie in our cabin one evening......the bed was very comfortable!

 

Also, I do believe they showed a movie or two in the world stage....seems like it was an afternoon matinee.

On the Oosterdam, and her one sister, Zuiderdam, (Noordam has a different layout and still has the Explorations Café on Deck 3), the Screening Room movie theater (Deck 3 forward, starboard side) has been renamed the Tasman Room and has been functioning as an extra meeting room a la the Stuyvesant, Hudson, and the Half Moon rooms. Westerdam used to have that same Tasman Room but now has a library similar to Nieuw A.

 

Oosterdam & Zuiderdam

 

Westerdam

 

Noordam

 

Eurodam still shows that same Tasman Room on her deck plan. Only a matter of time before that morphs into a library like her sister Nieuw Amsterdam now has

 

Eurodam

 

Rotterdam, unlike her older sisters Koningsdam and Nieuw Statendam appears to have a library forward of the Rolling Stone Rock Room on Deck 2 forward, starboard side. K-dam and Nieuw S should be getting a similar library

 

Rotterdam

 

Koningsdam & Nieuw Statendam

 

Zaandam and Volendam still have the Explorations Café and full (original) libraries on Deck 5 portside aft, on both ships known as the Erasmus Libraries

I believe that during it's December, 2023 drydock Zuiderdam's Tasman Room was redone as a Library similar to the one on Westerdam.

Yes, I've been on the Zuiderdam since Jan. 3 and we have a very nice library.

I have great memories with the library at my college. I spent a lot of time there with friends looking for materials for our research and essays. Now I am already studying at the university, and sometimes I order assignments on the https://edubirdie.com/write-my-essay-for-me website because I don’t always have time to do everything myself. Yes, I get a lot of information from the Internet. But I still love libraries for their atmosphere.

Really nice library!
